My image files are labelled 'kitchen porn' 'wedding porn' 'garden porn'. Porn is the visual representation of something that can never be possessed. And to quote one of my favorite fems, "Women are doing it for themselves!" Erotica might be the ladylike version of porn, but it doesn't roll trippingly off the tongue. And drooling over an image isn't all that ladylike! " I cannot be confined within the weak list of a country's fashion: we are the makers of manners; and the liberty that follows our places stops the mouth of all find-faults."

The title is tongue-in-cheek….but we all love a good chair. Where art meets functionality. Chairs are so full of personality and most would have a good story to tell if they could!

I AGREE WITH ABOVE COMMENT …
"PORN" IS A BIT CLICHE,ROUGH …UNPLEASANT WORD
DOES NOT DO JUSTICE TO THE GREAT ARTICLE.

I have to say, I think everyone who is offended has taken this a little bit too literally (in my opinion)…and maybe take themselves a bit too seriously?!? It is obviously a light hearted, play on words, use of the word. The beauty of blogs/web/social media is that you can formulate your own opinions of who to follow and what to read. If you are so offended, chances are, something down the line will also be offensive to you, here. It didn't bother me an ounce, and I don't take disrespect, of any kind, lightly. I just think we owe the author and composition of this amazing blog a bit more respect. This is the place I come each day to sift through all-inspiring images, and I am continuously grateful for the opportunity to do so. Having a sense of humor that is 100% harmless adds a little bit more to the enjoyment of visiting here.

I felt I should finally step in. Thanks for the comments on my choice of wording. I have used that word on this blog on and off for the 6 years we've been in business. I do not see it as having all the negative connotations several of you think it implies. Please read oregonbird's comment as she is right on the money. I also see it as meaning "an overabundance of something". In fact, my DTI business cards have a quote on the back that says "So much room porn it should be illegal".
Lighten up folks! There are WAY more important things you could be wasting your energy on. Like saving stray cats or something. 🙂

Rainy says:

So let me get this right – We are wasting energy by commenting about a word you used, but are we not wasting energy by viewing your website in the first place? Guess what…there are plenty of beautiful websites out there along the same lines as yours and I think I'll go ahead and waste my energy at those. It is not your choice of a word that makes me not want to come here anymore, but your snottiness. Delete!

Eleanore says:

Wow Rainy who is the snotty one now? Kim don't pay any attention to these readers, and keep your own identity. Who needs readers as fickle as Rainy anyway?

Robyn says:

What? People actually read the articles? I am here just for the pictures!

Okay, that was my not so clever take on what people usually say about why they get Playboy.

Lovely blog, and I am a faithful reader 🙂

Sandra says:

I think it's a cheeky (in a good way ;)) wordplay. And it's become quite common in the recent years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_porn

I love chairs, I love to contemplate nice objects, too, so… Bring us some more furniture-porn! 😀
