I've been spending quality time on Pinterest.

It's kind of fun to try to make boards to illustrate some of the visual/aesthetic problems that plague me.  Take a look if you'd like.

Some trends emerge:
1.  I am keen on elegant, stripped-down design while simultaneously obsessed with crazy surface pattern and color.
2.  I have very expensive tastes but equally and conversely prefer free stuff and the gifts of nature.
3.  Most of my favorite designers are anonymous people of the ancient world or Third World countries, not the modern Western World's power players.
4.  I love containers that are exponentially more costly than anything I'd ever own to store inside them.

I'd never analyzed some of this stuff that's fundamentally true about me.
