home decor

Today, Lileks revealed he has a decorator:

And now I will write the words that will make many a reader reel back in distaste:

I had the salesperson page my decorator.

Yes, I have a decorator. Sort of. Not really. I make most of the aesthetic decisions for Jasperwood, but they’re not hard; once you’re in the Arts & Crafts style, anything with woody slats fits. (Note to up-and-comers: name yourself “Woody Slats,” get a job as a Stickley rep, and you’re golden.) This store has a fellow who knows his slats, and I’ve bought all the pieces from him. He came to Jasperwood and took photos for a presentation a few years ago.

And in that spirit of full disclosure, I will reveal that I have a decorator as well. It's called entropy.
