the window shopper

I think I found the reason why I love to look at decorating magazines and photos of interiors so much...I can't remember which one I was reading, but the editor described the experience as "trying on another life" and visualizing yourself living in the space. Which is exactly what I do, and put stories to go with the pictures. Like these four photos from LivingEtc. There are four very different people living in these spaces, and you can almost get a sense of who they are just by the mood of the rooms. It's more satisfying.
