    In order:

    Because you’ll pay it. Because you’ll pay it. Because you’ll pay it. Because you are wasting so much shit, stop buying excessive shit and save leftovers. Because you’re clumsy af. And because you bring the dirt in with you.

    Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

      Rugs are very highly laborious. Curtains have a high material cost and are also very labour intensive to build. Pillows aren’t that hard to make but are usually made of fancy fabric and fancy stuffing materials. They also have a high cost in shipping and shelf space. They are not expensive ‘just cause’

        I mean, what do rugs do for you? You don’t really need curtains, either. The pillow I’m currently using cost me $20 at costco for a 2 pack…

          Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it worthless. Rugs make my house a home. They really tie the rooms together. Your Dark Side of the Moon flag curtain makes your home look like a flop house.

            And this, everyone, is called “lashing out”. When one doesn’t have a valid response but doesn’t want to admit it, they turn to insults and combativeness. A pity.

            If something has a valid use, great. Vanity is not one of them, in my view. You continue to keep up with the Joneses, though.

              I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with your interior decoration, but you can get decent wooden furniture for cheap to free on Craig’s list, sand it, and stain or paint in 1 afternoon. A little furniture might also help you hide all those cables.

          Soft, protect your floors, reduce noise echo, soften talking, make it comfortable to sit on, reduce noise transfer to other floors of your home, trap dust instead of letting it float around, cushion your bare feet so you don’t have to wear shoes in the house, help tie your room together and make it feel like a home instead of a college dorm or hospital room. Come on, use your imagination.

              It’s not my job to defend furnishings. If you think a room with a cinder block in it is ‘furnished’ I don’t think it’s my job to convince you otherwise. But that doesn’t mean you get to talk shit about the upholstery trade.

          You don’t really need curtains, either.

          I’m personally light-sensitive, so covering the windows is imperative if I want to avoid pain. Curtains also mean having privacy inside one’s own home, which isn’t a strange thing to want.
