Floral Charging Station From Neiman Marcus

Floral Charging Station: Love It or Leave It?

March 19, 2009

I had no idea Laura Ashley was making charging stations. Just kidding. But this Floral Charging Station ($165) at Neiman Marcus reminds me of the '90s designer who loved — I mean, really loved — her florals.

This flowery place to store your gadgets could fit right into a shabby chic interior, but even there, it could be too saccharine. Love it? Make sure any testosterone in your living space is aware of what's about to house his very manly gadgets.

Would you buy this?

The print doesn't actually bother me so much, but why is it so tall?

Laura Ashley was popular in the late 70s and 80s. By the 90s the company was in a downward spiral, with major management changes, and the prints had fallen out of fashion. (I hate when people don't do their research.)
