i want my house to look perfect, put together and pristine. is that too much to ask? but who has enough money (or enough time to track down bargains) to get their home looking like this? i keep telling myself that it is a process, that over the years if i keep rejecting junk while still collecting tried and true pieces it will come together. but then i just get tired of hum drum and want to go into debt to have a beautiful home. should i call up potterybarn or spiegel and say, "i'll take it all, thank you." we have been fortunate to hit some steals and deals with furniture before we went back to school. and thanks to sister-in-law jill lucy has fabulous bedding and curtains in her room. but i want more. i want cute throw pillows and picture frames and gorgeous sheets and towels. the avarice and greed is running thickly right now in my brain. what do you do?

don't worry I feel like this all the time, I find it therapeutic to cut out all the pictures of stuff I like from the magazines and save them in my "dream" binder for that day that we are millionaires!
I know what you mean, but we'll get there eventually. Imagine if we really did have homes that looked like that. Our kids wouldn't be allowed to do anything! :) That's why you can't ever afford to have a home like that until your kids are bigger. :)
I wish I could have a beautiful home with beautiful things too. You are definitely not alone in this desire. Someday...
i want nice things. but i don't want them ruined. is there a way to have that? i'm pretty sure we gotta wait at least until they're all in school, then we get to have a family room free of kiddie toys. either that or like mel said--our kids would hate us and being at home.
