Every once in a while, a friend of mine (OK, Nicole) will leave a comment on my blog like, "These are too expensive! What planet are you living on?" But, let's face it, if I only wrote about things I could afford, this would be a very dull blog. ;)
That's what I love about the Web - I can think and look and lust without buying. I can research and study and feel a part of the process without spending one red cent. You'd never even guess that I still have the same dining room table that I ate from as a child that my parents gave me many moons ago. Or my couch has chocolate milk stains and black lab hair all over it. And my $200 plastic rocker/recliner from Sam's Club broke after about only two months. (It's only a rocker now unless you physically force the bottom part out and then push it back in - which takes way more effort than I'm willing to put forth just to recline in a chair that may flip me if I go back too far.) The rug in my sitting area is from Fred's.
But I have found a way to meld my two worlds into one - my online vicarious designer life and my real boring Wal-Mart one. Designer chairs. At my house. (OK, in miniature form, but still.)

Ok, now THIS I can afford! I had a doll house when I was a girl, but none of the furniture available then was ever this cool! THINK of it! You could have a mid-century modern doll house!

Ah, I loved this post. Sometimes when I look at your blog, I glance around and think, "Where is my fascinating, designer environment?" It's nice to know that your life is a mixture of eclectic and dog hair, as well.
