I am mad specific when it comes to buying practical things.
I didn't used to be this way. I think it came about as a response to the relatively novel feeling of financial freedom. Now that I can pick my own coasters or shower curtains or water bottles — you know, boring necessities — I can run myself ragged trying to find ones that coordinate with every other object in my life. It brings me a weird sense of peace, this Extreme Matching: Home Edition.
So naturally there is a lot of gray in my life.
And naturally I appreciate when a retailer makes it very easy for me to hunt down only pieces with clean, sharp lines, striking textures, and a desaturated palette.
