You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you. The people I know who used to sit in the bathroom with pornography, now they sit in the bathroom with their IKEA furniture catalogue." “You buy furniture.

Sometimes you just have to humiliate these snobby name-droppers. Tracy, Thanks! Julie, I know, it's kinda funny that so many of us have the same cabinets. The reality is that they are very affordable, look fantastic, easy maintenance and make the space feel more spacious (something we obviously need here in New York). Lamonte,

Lamonte,
Why else am I paying more than 30k a year for a design education than to wax my snobbery every chance I get?
