mother lode

so...i open my mailbox and what do i see? this massive book from restoration hardware. it's ridiculously huge, like vogue's september issue.
i don't know why i got it. i don't shop there very often. it's been totally revamped. i don't really like the type of furniture it carries. it's huge massive slabby stuff. it's really over the top and overly expensive.
but then, i flip through it...
i want this...











and this...











and a couple of more things that are beyond my budget. when i came across this...




a very pixilated leather sofa from restoration hardware (sorry for the pixilation...the photo was teeny tiny). i also went to ikea over the weekend and saw this...





now, granted, side by side comparisons show that they are not even close, but the look is similar enough for me to go 'hmmmmmmmm'. i don't need to tell you that the ikea one is waaaaaaaaaay cheaper or that it's not even close to the same quality of leather, probably...most likely. but, when i sat in the ikea one...it wasn't bad for $399...not bad at all.



any way...





wait...what's this, hiding underneath the behemoth?
yea! i hit the mother lode, today! and it's not pixilated (heh heh).

  1. Jealous! Although it's probably for the best that I don't get those catalogues. I want to get the new Ikea one. I hear there's some pretty cool new stuff.,,
