did it/need it/hate it
The Pottery Barn catalogue has arrived and, as you may know, my admiration for it has waned.
We do need bedroom furniture, but I don't see us buying it from a place that charges hundreds of dollars for delivery.
I had been using the catalogue as decor inspiration, but, over the last year or so, I've realized that someone on their art team must be looking in my windows for ideas, so there isn't much to spark my imagination.
With this issue I decided to play a game.
The did it/need it/hate it game.
It's pretty self explanatory.
It goes like this:
Nifty hand blown glass pendant lamps?
Did it.
Lampshade, for the living room lamp - NEED IT.
Giant metal swirly thing that holds photos - HATE IT.
Bar shelves:
did it.
Need is strong word, but I very much like these small table/pedestal things...
I'm pretty sure I hate this mirror arrangement.
Rocks as weights. Did it.
I NEED a weekend in this bed.
I hate the idea of manufactured old/fake prop tools on the wall. I have tools in my garage with more character. I don't think any of them are going in our living room.
Did the blackboard in the dining room.
Need Mongolian horsemen in balloon hats.
Hate this chandelier.
Did the hanging bottle thing. So did Anthropologie. Don't remember who did it first but it wasn't PB.
NEED to remember that 'tomorrow is another day.'
Strongly dislike this...
That was fun, wasn't it?
A warm thank you to my 34 birthday well wishers.
I felt like I got birthday cards all day long...

The black metal swirly thing, well I'm really wanting one that is a candle holder... not a picture holder don't like that.
I'm with you on the fake prop tools. Those are just weird -- they make me think of Children of the Corn or something.
My roommate and I were just doing the same thing with the PB catalog the other night. We share your feelings on the rakes/bread paddles.
They've been doing the same thing for a thousand years or so.
Agree with fake tools on wall.
Silly.
Sometimes a wall just looks better being a wall.

2- You have the same birthday as Numbah One Son! (Who got a BAAAAAD case of strep on his birthday and therefore I wasn't here to wish you a HB.)
3- That chandelier looks like something that heterophobic cowpersons would covet.

Happy belated to a wonderful person.

God bless.
