Misc Indie Furnishings
Posted by Unpaid Arts Intern on Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:08 PM
I spend much of my time at the Mercury daydreaming about how I'd spend my earnings if I actually got paid. Today I was scrolling through the CB2 website (or Crate and Barrel 2, which is like Crate and Barrel, but funkier, I guess) and imagining how I would furnish my West Village apartment if I had one, when I came across this lame-ass thing: Indie Dining Room Table.
It's from a whole line of Indie furniture. For only $649.00, you can buy your very own Indie Credenza! 
I guess I was wrong for assuming that "indie" furniture was purchased at the bins, so you could spend most of your trust fund on blow and tattoos. I guess "indie," like "genius" or "freedom," has become one of those words that have been thrown around so much that they have basically become meaningless. I should have known that when a couple of years ago my German aunt told me she loved "indie" stuff right after explaining to me in detail how much she enjoyed the movie, Hitch.
