In My Perfect World

Elizabeth Boland · Oct 7, 2011 ·

Everyone has a list of pet peeves, or things they would never allow in their house. For some people it’s as simple as no beer signs in the living room, more particular individuals go so far as to ban printed paper towels in their kitchen. Sorry for the random rant, and the ugly pictures you are about to see, but I wanted to share a few elements I don’t think belong in any household. In my perfect world these 4 items would not exist. 

1. Vertical Blinds. 



2. Ceiling Fans with Lights. (Ceiling fans without lights I don’t hate as much)


3. Torche Lamps. Why would I want to light up the ceiling?




4. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs- who ever invited these dreadful toxic things should be slapped. 







What could you do without in your perfect world??

About Elizabeth Boland

I am a wife, Mom, and an Interior Designer. I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to work with one of my best friends. My Mom and I are partners in our Washington DC based design firm, Wilson Boland Design. In January 2010, we opened an Interior Design Studio in downtown Bethesda, which has evolved just as much as our business!

I started Haute Indoor Couture in the spring of 2011 to share portfolio pictures, inspiring ideas, and fellow designers with our clients and friends. I live for Interior Design and I love sharing my passion and enthusiasm with my readers. Most of the content you will find here is interior design, architecture, fashion, or canine related.

    Hilarious post. Except the lamp would be the black one that all guys seem to have!!

    I can also live without temporary paper post it not blinds. No one seems to understand the temporary part of these!

    I should show this to my mom. She wants vertical blinds for her family room. I cringed when she mentioned it. One thing I wish didn't exist were those sheer window scarves that people hang like a valance. Hid-e-ous!

    Knotty pine cabinets and/or wall paneling. I had a kitchen with both. It was like living inside of a wood-paneled cave.
