Catalog Travel

Christopher and I have landed ourselves on a bunch of different catalog mailing lists, as well as a bunch of travel company mailing lists.

We spend a decent amount of time imagining what our house could look like. We spend even more time imagining what our lives could be like if we were able to take some of the vacations we are taunted and teased by on a daily basis.

A couple of days ago, I was introduced to a new "blog" (you'll understand why that's in quotes in a moment or two), which kind of combines everything you (or at least I) have ever contemplated while looking at those home catalogs.

It answers many of the questions that come up when I'm questioning what the heck the stylists were thinking. Having worked a number of years in retail, I often had these same questions when "styling" displays that were designed by someone in the home office.

You know, questions like "Why is that table covered in starfish?" and "Who puts a life preserver in the entryway?" and "How the hell many pillows do you really need?"

So, now that your curiosity is piqued (hopefully), I offer you the "blog" in question: Catalog Living.

Enjoy. And, after you travel there, come back tomorrow and we'll see where we can go together.
