Unhappy Hipsters

by Michelle on January 28, 2010

I love seeing homes that are thoughtfully designed, even ones that aren’t to my personal tastes. But sometimes I look at the subjects of magazine design stories perfectly posed in their beautifully arranged homes and I think Who ARE these people??!? Their homes look so sorted and pristine. Where are the screaming kids? The endless scraps of paper in that pesky corner of the kitchen? The dog that won’t stop lazing on the couch no matter how many times you train it not to do so?

Of course, the images that we see in magazines are of just one moment in time when the kids/dogs/junk are shuttled briefly out of frame. (Ever wonder what it looks like behind the photographer?) And, just because things look good, doesn’t mean that they feel good, as we all know.

I guess that’s why Unhappy Hipsters so tickled my funny bone. Next time you’re feeling inadequate about the state of your home, or just need a laugh, take a look.
