Cognitive Disconense

Do you remember the term "cognitive disconense" from your college psychology 101 class?  The prime example given is when you purchase an item such as an automobile that you continue to seek out data to make certain that you made the proper decision.

The set of chairs that I purchased a few weeks back for $69 per chair was a binge purchase.  But, I really loved the lines and scale of the chairs and took the plunge.

Restoration Hardware, 18th Century French Burlap Chair

$1495



Consignment shop $69 jewel

Boone Pitkins and both of them had similar chairs in their homes.

Let me just pat myself on the back ;^)
