In New York Magazine's Home Design Issue, amid a lot of exuberant declarations only comprehendible to the super-rich ("trapezoids are the next rectangles," "computers are the next faucets,") was the simple news that "gray is the next chocolate brown," beneath a photo of a lacy gray napkin. For those of us who use paper-towels, Sarah Jessica Parker made the same announcement on Oprah last week, where she unveiled her nice-but-dull and super-cheap clothing line, Bitten. So, um, trade in all your chocolate brown stuff or something.
