New York Times:


AT J. Roaman, a home furnishings store in East Hampton, N.Y., a painted white iron bed wears a giant charm bracelet over its left head post. The bracelet isn't there because the bed wants for visual interest; it's already enveloped in a brightly colored quilt by Lisa Corti, a Milanese designer, and topped with four pillows, five throw pillows and a bolster. The reason for the jewelry, according to Judi Roaman, a former fashion retailer who opened the store in May, is that furniture, like any carefully curated outfit, should express its owner's personality. "Accessories make the bed into who you want her to be," she explained.

This is really important stuff. I mean, what would life be without accessories for a couch?

Jeez suddenly just because it appears in the NYT that make it hip and new and PRESTIGIOUS!!!!
This is the dumbest thing I ever heard of, its just a bald faced attempt to get you to buy MORE STUFF. Why ruin the classic looks of a Barcelona Chair or an Eames Lounge. It's just like folks who do a shitty faux Tuscan Home Depot remodel of an Eichler home who put in crown moulding and granite countertops because that is the most PRESTIGE thing to do. UGH!!!!

Yeah, my couch is accessorized: with that Naruto action figure I paid $8.00 and some chocolate milk stains.

Let's get real, people!
