How can I be sure I love it enough to buy it?
To be sure it's "love at first buy," you only need ONE of these three reasons:

2. Does it make you smile and your heart feel lighter?
3. Do the colors bring you peace? Are you refreshed by the greens, or do you feel comforted by a commonality of beige and browns?
