20 Pictures Of The Life You Want Vs. The Life You've Got

You can't always get what you want.

1. The front door to the house of your dreams:

Those in the know say it's called a "pivot door." Neat!

2. The front door of your house:

Complete with an epoxy doorknob because the real doorknob fell off one night and you couldn't figure out how to get it back on. Also, you have to kind of kick the door a bit to really get it shut.

3. The shower of your dreams:

Piping hot, with LED mood lighting included.

4. Your shower:

You're not quite sure how, where, or why the water comes out, but it comes out, which is all you can really ask for.

5. The bathroom sink of your dreams:

Simply stunning. It's hard to believe it even exists in real life.

6. The bathroom sink at your house:

If you can still use it, you don't need to fix it.

7. The pots and pans of your dreams:

Brilliant copper. All matching. Beautiful.

8. Your "set" of pots and pans:

All purchased from (different) garage sales.

9. The garbage can of your dreams, and yes, you dream about truly incredible garbage cans:

IT. HAS. A. MOTION. SENSOR.

10. Your garbage pail:

The pedal doesn't work. Don't bother.

11. The refrigerator of your dreams:

Brushed nickel, water and ice dispensers, and of course, an onboard computer.

12. Your refrigerator:

The only thing inside is a half-empty bottle of ketchup.

13. The bedroom of your dreams:

Designer everything.

14. Your bedroom:

Twitter: @aroundvanessa

I guess you could make the argument that it's a kind of artistic statement.

15. The dining table of your dreams:

Look at those pendant lamps!

16. Your dining table.

It was a little off-kilter.

17. The coffee maker of your dreams:

This is how a millionaire's day begins.

18. Your coffee maker:

On top of the pint glass you got at a bar in college.

19. The kitchen sink of your dreams:

And it's even flexible, which comes in handy.

20. Your faucet:

I wouldn't drink out of it. The water comes out a tad brown from time to time.
