I get a spontaneous drooling problem when I visit Anthropologie’s website.  There are so many beautiful things that I, a. can’t afford and b. don’t feel properly equipped, design wise, to incorporate the gorgeousness into my humble home.  I do  see lots of things that are diy-able or that I’ve seen elsewhere for less.  Which …
