I'm one of those people who never in their whole life understood the use of buying something with no purpose. I loved scented candles, but rarely bought them, knowing I'd never use them, I didn't put up posters or paintings because they were too expensive to "have no use", and until yesterday, I didn't own throw pillows.
And yet, as a teenager I would sit around and wonder why my room never looked as nice as the ones me and my dad watched every weekend on HGTV. The answer has only very recently come to me. Accent pieces!
