Kotsko On Shabbiness

Adam Kotsko has a cool post up about wanting to be shabby. I, too, gravitate towards anything that looks untended, unplanned, and cheap. As Heraclitus says, "The fairest order is a heap of random sweepings." My preference for this look has different origins than Adam's, to be sure. I have a different class background, and my parents never ran a store for Country Style home decorating. Still, I think we have arrived at the same place. via unfogged
