I wrote about something called Pottery Barn Catalog Syndrome on Vitamin G a while back. Here's how I described it (quoting myself, which seems really quite weird): "When I'm flipping through these catalogs--looking at all the gorgeous and perfectly clean and tidy spaces--I start to feel bad about my own house. First it's the little things like "man, I can't believe how awful my coffee table looks." Then I start thinking about how bad my living room rug looks and before long I'm thinking: "NEW HOUSE! Definitely need a new house." Anyway, I'm having Crate and Barrel Catalog Syndrome these days--especially after seeing an ad for their summer sale, where a certain chair caught my eye. But here's the deal: I can't tell if this Jardin Chair is cute or horrible. On one hand, I can see it in my office or in the corner of my bedroom looking kind of fabulous. But wait, is it way too loud? Bold? Take-me-away-to-the-Caribbean? Sometimes I worry that I don't have decor-dar (you know, decor radar). I need a interior designer BFF and fast. What do you think of the chair? P.S. I hate cribs. We had to buy crib #3 (today) in less than three years due to a second major crib recall. Do you know how obnoxiously time consuming it is to install a crib?
