NYT, thanks so much for including me in supersmart Steven Kurutz‘s article today, “Relax. There’s Plenty of Room.”
It’s about oversized furniture and the ridiculousness thereof. I’m pretty sure this blog post - and this one - helped me land the gig.
Restoration Hardware, your days might be numbered. Please don’t say we didn’t warn you.

That’s great news and an excellent tangible result of why blogging is so worthwhile despite its work. Congrats.
Glad I helped you make the New York Times….?
Still loving my Dr. Pitt after all these years.
Sandy!!! So great to hear from you, and yes, thank you!
I fear the positive-ness didn’t come through; my spin was that when you embrace the large, as in the wall-to-wall Dr. P, good things can happen! I hope all is well w/ you! xo
Ha! This is the article that led me to discover you and subscribe to you religiously.
I agree that Restoration Hardware’s gone off the deep end, although I find the video gamer part of myself oddly drawn to their steampunk aesthetic — but not for, like, actual purchases for actual houses that anyone lives in ever. Just as a nice background for a weirdly industrial post-apocalyptic game setting.
We have an enormocouch in our living room that was a hand-me-down from my mom, and I have to say it’s super comfy. But I’m dying to hide it in our basement den and replace the upstairs couch with something more modern and trim with skinny little steel legs. We’ll see. The fact that it’s hard to move might make our decision for us.
I don’t want to make you spend more $ than is absolutely necessary, but please know that there are people in this world who specialize in the disassembling and reassembling of mammoth furniture. Further proof that you can, in fact, pay anyone to do anything
Thanks so much for the great comment, Virginia!
I’m glad to know you, and other people quoted in the article, feel the same way I do about the overstuffed furniture. I bought some new couches recently and the overstuffed ones in Crate and Barrel where my feet didn’t touch the floor were uncomfortable for me, but from the online reviews, many people love them. I ended up buying some couches from Lee Industries, which were custom made and fit the room and our bodies well.
Congrats, Annie!
YAY! I saw this when i was reading the Times this morning! So pleased for your great press!
Thank you so much!!! It was pretty exciting, I have to confess
Congrats on the amazing press! Woo hoo!
(hilarious quotes, btw…)
Thank you, Rachel! I was very glad I wasn’t left on the cutting room floor – which happens! I hope all is well with you! xo
Awesome! Way to go, Annie.
Thanks so much, Kelly, and Happy New Year! xo
