catalogs

I love looking at magazines and catalogs to get ideas for how to decorate.  However, I've noticed that after perusing Pottery Barn, Ikea, Restoration Hardware and the like, I am more dissatisfied than not.  Yes, I have some ideas but I don't have the same look or the resources that I'm willing to spend to get that "look".  Lesson learned: be thankful for what I have, even though it is not straight out of the catalog perfect, it was given or purchased in love.
