    Default Seriously, SMURF high-gloss furniture

    Why the smurf

    I mean

    Do you guys realize how hard it is to find furniture nowadays that isn't polished to the point that it smurfing blinds you every time the sun rises? What is the deal? Why do people want their cabinets to look like Mr. Clean's shiny bald head? Is regular wood not good enough for you? Do your bathroom cabinets have to look like they're made of 24 karat gold and essence of donkey testicles so you can feel like Kim Smurfing Kardashian every time you go to take a dump???!!!


    I don't like high gloss furniture. But, unfortunately for me, 90% of all furniture available in stores now are high-gloss. Needless to say, it's hard to find the thing I want at a reasonable price because of this.

    Any other furniture trends that bother you guys?

    EDIT: Also, if you like leather furniture, you are dead to me

    Glossy furniture is evil. So is glass and stainless steel. Anything that you have to constantly wipe down to keep the finger prints off of is just wrong. Why have something that's so non-functional? Seriously, if you spend more time keeping it clean than using it, what's its' worth?

    You are now officially my spirit animal

    I also hate glass surfaces because I'm always way too stressed out about them breaking. Why would you do that to yourself?

    If I had a glass coffee table, I guarantee that at some point I would trip over and land face-first in the middle of it.

    Me + breakable furniture = inevitable destruction

    Before I left for Uni, when I still lived with my Mum, our kitchen had cupboards like this, as well as a shiny faux-marblely type counter-top. So much time wasted polishing...

    Fortunately, my and Formy's current kitchen, and the flat as a whole, is a high-gloss free zone. Huzzah!
