(Again, retorical question.  Please do not panic, there is not a survey at the end of this post.)

I ask because I am trying to formulate an opinion.  Please observe:

Left Image: Anthropologie, Right Image: Pottery Barn.  Click to enlarge.

I found the Pottery Barn image in a catalog a couple days ago and ripped it out because that looks seriously cool.  Dude, they framed the word "TODAY." 

Then, while scrolling through my bloglines, I saw the Anthropologie image on Decor8 and decided I need to give this idea some serious contemplation.

So I went straight to the source: Domino Magazine dot com.  But I got distracted when I saw the current domino blog entry.  I am going to reprint here, but please follow the link for more:

domino on a Dime: Rope a Dope

Last
week I saw the most genius lamp at my friend Elise’s apartment: she had
coiled jute rope around a very basic style from Target using a glue
gun.  I thought of Eugenia Santiesteban’s nautical cravings (March
issue, page 30) and that glorious 10" Marseille knot.  I want one, but
I can’t justify spending $50 on the World’s Chicest Ball of String.  I
do need some new side tables though … so I think the rope trick will
work on a bigger project.  On the attention-to-detail/complulsion
scale, Elise might actually beat me (she was working on a needlepoint version of a family photograph!), but she says roping up her lamp was a cinch. Source: Domino Blog

First of all…Needlepoint!  Talk about cool crafts.  Second, is it possible that there is a cooler Target-shopping, Glue-gun welding, Elise in the world?  And more importantly, will she guest star on "Let’s Get Crafty!"?

I do not know the answers to any of these questions. 

But I do know that I say "YES!" on frames with no photos.  For the moment.  By the time I get to make these executive decisions and have a wall to call my own, I may have a new grand plan. 

Like glue-gunning some macaroni in the shape of the word "TODAY" on the wall.
