Nice one Gordon!

1950's Russell

Finally got to the Gordon Russell Museum in Broadway and saw loads of lovely things designed by the man who was determined to make stylish furniture affordable to all. I think he would have liked the fact that I got one of his sideboards for £35 off Ebay. He wanted to make good quality items that could be passed down through families. Most mass produced things nowadays aren't beautifully crafted like Russell's furniture is. I can't see any of our Ikea stuff being coveted by future generations. It's definitely not well-crafted because I put it together myself. Badly.
