Or perhaps the real question, why do I find them all so awful? Is there something wrong with me? This room here has such a creative, casual vibe with that robin's egg blue Chesterfield sofa and the ancient wood coffee table (on casters!). But then there's that FLOOR LAMP, which doesn't even seem tacky in a fun way. Sigh. The pendant lamp in the back is cool, though.
