Crap I don't need but want

I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing that I work around the corner from a TJ Maxx and a Marshall's.  I would say that's a good thing because it's super convenient to just drop by to pick up essentials when I need them.  On the other hand they are full of crap I don't need but want. 

Just the other day I stopped by because the front door was calling my name.

Here is how the conversations went in my head

-GREEN CHAIRS WITH NAILHEAD TRIM-

Do I have any green in my house? ehh not really 

Do I need these? Nope 

Do I want them? Yup, I could find a use for them plus they are pretty and oh how I love the nailheads.

Results- For now they stay at the store and not in my cart, I have so much more of the store to see why stop now.

-GOLD FRAMES-

Do I really need more frames? ehh not really, I have about 100 in storage boxes somewhere. 

Speaking of storage, where are those boxes anyways? I really should find them. I feel like I have a ton of crap in boxes that I could love again. ok, back on track with these frames.

Do I need these? Not really, but they are pretty and maybe I could spray paint them if I ever got sick of the gold. hmmmm

Do I want them? Umm, they had me at spray paint- of course I want them!

Results- stay at store for now, vow to find the storage boxes.

-MARTHA STEWART PAPER PUNCHES-

OMG, Martha Stewart

Do I need these? I don't give a crap if I need these- they are Martha and they are cute.  I could always use more craft supplies to collect dust in my labeled craft boxes at home. 

Results- in the cart, no questions asked

-BLUE LAMPS-

Do I really need lamps? I have no room for them.  I have no room for them.

I. have. no. room. for. them.

Do I want them? Hell yes I want them- but I think the fiance might kill me if I bring something else home and tell him it's my inspiration for a new design in the apartment.

Results- These should stay at the store for now, I don't want to die over lamps just yet

-ORANGE TRASH CAN AND POTS-

 

Do I really need a new trash can? No, but the white plastic one at home is ugly and this is so pretty. I mean its orange, my favorite color!! Oh look orange pots too- LOVE THOSE

Do I want them?  Um, is the sky blue? Of course I want them they are my favorite color. 

Results- I don't even cook, maybe these should stay at the store till I start cooking.  Meaning, it will be a cold day in hell before these come home with me.

-BURLAP TUMBLERS-

Do I really need plastic tumblers? I don't have a patio right now, but I will some day so maybe these should go in a "someday box". 

Speaking of, I don't have a "someday box"  I should go to Target after this and get some new storage bins to make into my "someday box". 

 Note to self, don't forget to look for the storage boxes AND make a "someday box"

Do I want them? My "someday box" needs something to go in it, these would be perfect

Results- Who am I kidding? I won't need tumblers, I'll need wine glasses and margarita glasses.  These are staying at the store. 

Note to self, stop at liquor store after this

 

 

-CANDLES-

 

Do I really need another candle? Well these do get used up, and the point is to light them.  So yes I really NEED another candle.  Plus, I spy a pretty orange one.  I think I need an orange intervention.

Results- Duh, orange one went home with me

OK, you get the idea.  I could literally do this for every item in the store.  It's like I'm asking for a mental breakdown every time I walk in a home store. 

Why do I torture myself? 

I know I'm not the only one out there who does this. 


Don't all come forward at once now.
