No Apologies

OK, I am done.  I am through with apologizing for my look.

I often catch myself saying "I know my look isn't for everybody".  And yes, I know that it is an accurate statement, but guess what, mid century modern isn't for everybody either.

I figure if you are coming to Little Blue Chairs you know what you are going to get.  And I assume you like what you see, and if not, that is OK as well, but it is my vision, good bad or ugly.

I have been circling an idea for many years, and I think it is finally coming to into its own.  It is a philosophy that I have been chewing on for years and I have finally gotten it to its essence.  It is summed up in one simple word.

EMBRACE

from the dictionary:

1 a: to clasp in the arms : hug b : cherish, love

2: encircle, enclose

3: to take up especially readily or gladly 

4: to take in or include as a part, item, or element of a more inclusive whole 

I want to embrace all that makes me me- and advocate that the best gift anyone can give themselves is to find out who you are and what makes you unique and then embrace those qualities.  Embrace them apologetically.

So, no more apologies on what I do or who I am.
