I love its upholstery fabric, fanciful chandeliers, and elegantly shaped furniture. But, I cannot abide by these <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?cross-sell=true&amp;color=red&amp;navAction=jump&amp;id=76701" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fairy Tale Ottomans</a>. Each retails at $298, and Anthropologie claims that they're a "wildly imaginative take on the traditional footstool....Its petal top calls to mind make-believe flowers." Hmmm...in my opinion they call to mind tatty preschool furniture from the '70s. Am I off base here, Casa readers? Let me know by telling me how much you'd pay for these odd little ottomans. <span class="inline left"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/6/61259/46_2007/fairy-tale-ottomans.preview.jpg" alt="" title="" class="outline image preview" height="163" width="550"></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Source</a></p> </p><!-- no strip poll --><form action="/803852" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>How Much Would You Pay for This?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="0" class="form-radio" /> I'd pay full price.
