That thumbnail has nothing to do with this blog. I just know that a picture of a table ain't getting asses in the seats.
Hollywood is the epicenter of the global film industry and is renowned for its glamorous and extravagant lifestyle- like we saw on MTV Cribs. While we often associate Hollywood with red carpets, luxurious parties, and iconic film sets, there is another element that significantly impacts the lives of its residents and celebrities alike: fancy wooden furniture.
As someone who did woodworking projects for a few months after becoming hyper-fixated on yet another thing, I understand the beauty and allure of rare wood. Whether that wood is white oak, maple, black walnut, teak, cherry, spruce, pine, cedar, or even crape myrtle, I can admire the natural aspects of furniture design. If there's a redwood tree table that shows up at my local Amish Furniture Store, I head over there to catch a gander and weep, weep, weep.

We didn't sit around waxing poetic about how our kitchen island was made from the wood from Mozart's baby grand piano. Sure it was a timeless piece to keep in a trailer but it was passed down from generation to generation so I'm the caretaker now. It's an honor!
The honor that was extended to a poor kid from Jacksonville made me feel like I had something in common with all of those who lived a life of luxury. As you know, the red carpet in Hollywood is all about fashion, and that includes furniture fashion. Make no mistake about that. Turn on Chicks in the Office and watch as celebrities strut down the crimson walkway, posing alongside their favorite fancy wooden furniture pieces. From extravagant chaise lounges to bedazzled dining tables, furniture becomes the ultimate accessory. Who can forget the iconic moment when Lady Gaga unintentionally upstaged her own movie premiere by wearing a dress that matches the upholstery of their favorite armoire? People fuckin came. Those people include yours truly.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
