The hilarious Catalog Living Tumblr blog adds witty commentary to images of so-perfect-they're-fake homes.
You will be surprised when you notice how many random objects appear in the images. My favorite details that the Tumblr creator notices are the "old-timey buoys" and the random tree branches in one bedroom. The Catalog Living Tumblr is such an original idea and the creator intelligently pokes fun at the images of perfection.
