When I wanted to take one of ours down to my studio, I got the eye-daggers. I was told to buy one of my own.
It was my first of many
Sudio Decor Shopping at Pottery Barn episodes. In fact, I was there yesterday.
You know what the problem is with PB? They’ve diabolically arranged it so that anything there automatically matches and goes with everything else there.
So you walk in, and no matter what you see, it goes with something else you already have, and you think, “hey, that’d look good in my [insert name of room].”
And you get the itch to pull out your wallet.
The only drawback is that so many other people have the same addiction that you sometimes walk into a friend’s house and see your exact room replicated. That can either feel super-friendly, or a little disconcerting...
These days, however, their stuff seems to suit our more casual lifestyle, and in general, it’s well-made. So I’m good with it, even if it’s in every mall in the universe...
