What's up with them? Page after page of beautifully decorated rooms, but something is wrong.
The glass canisters in the bathroom have 20 of the same soap stacked in them. The towels are folded neatly and in colour coordinated piles on otherwise empty shelves.
All the photo frames on the walls are of the same design, and all the photos in them are black and white (oooh, how witty and urbane).
The dining tables are set with so many tools for eating there's no room for the people. How long do napkin rings stay on the napkins? Don't you think it puts some people off using them altogether? - don't want to mess with the theme of the table.I get too too many catalogs. I don't buy anything, but I admire the 300-count cotten sheets, the tidy bathrooms, the funky-lived-in-but-very organized living rooms, the oases of calm bedrooms, the kitchens just aching to be cooked in.
It's too much muchness.

Yeah, but if I want real I can look around me. And believe me, it ain't a pretty sight. This is one lived in house. :(
I like to dream that one day I'll live in a home where the walls won't be floor to ceiling with furniture, then shelves filled with stuff.
Even though I love stuff.

I love the look of catalogues, but living in it would be a different thing. Could you really deal with putting all those pillows back on the bed EVERY morning? I sure wouldn't.

It's called staging. Do whatever to make it look good and photograph well.

OK, then - I'd like to stage my life, please.

Yeah when we moved. Got rid of everything old and bought all new furniture drapes the whole works. In the closet sits a beautiful bedspreed with 12 throw pillow to add to that. Haven't even taken out of the zippered bag it's in. And the pillows are stacked to the ceiling in the closet.It would take all day to make the bed that way and my toy poodle sleeps with us everynight. How stupid we were. Love Phillipa
