While not paying attention in Greek today, I found a website called The Ancient Home, which offers home decor with a classical twist. The price range is for those rich enough to buy a $92 dollar coushion.

A lot of their products are actually rather beautiful. In particular, I love their selection of classical pottery replicas to the point where I would consider buying one if I had $500 to spend on a vase.

But also, look at this Redbubble looking-ass coushion:

66 dollars if you want the inside.

Holy fucking bingle???

I also don't really understand the branding here. The site is entitled "The Ancient Home" and does, indeed, contain home decor with ancient theming. But they also sell contemporary art??? And a bust of Winston fucking Churchill??? So that's bizarre.

I don't know. The Ancient Home, I love some of your stuff, but you gotta make your gimmick more transparent. It's a bit jarring as is: the juxtoposition between the detailed classical replicas and the low-quality looking coushions/Winston Churchill busts.

(Postscript: I desperately want this fucking vase)
