Usually, I restrain myself. Nothing good will come from going in there, I repeat in my mind. I know me. I know I will lose control. I know I will give over to the temptations that await me inside Room and Board.And yet, that temptation pulls me in. I'm just looking, I rationalize. Just a peek at the new collection.
This time will be different.
And then I become a little dizzy from the deigner lighting. All that good design sitting on polished concrete starts making me woozy. Too many Eames products in one room and I have lost all sense of control. I begin the rationalization of an addict:
These bunk beds would create more space in Jafta's room.
This crib and changing table aren't THAT expensive. I could sell them on Craigslist after I use them.
A new baby deserves a new nursery.
Look how much Jafta likes this room.
Fortunately a cranky toddler pulls me out of my cycle of addiction. I scurry to the door before any damage is done, and vow I will never go in there again.
Until December. FLOOR MODEL SALE!!!!
Aaaarrgh! Bunkbeds! I bought a totally cute set at IKEA to give the Peanut more room (and a place for cousin Noah). Changing sheets is a nightmare. Sitting and comforting a pre-schooler who can't to get to sleep is impossible. DON'T DO IT!
