magazine picture perfect

Lately its been on my mind... not sure how to explain this but I will try.
I am constantly comparing my home to magazines... like, the cleaniness, the organization, the design etc. I dream of my future house to look like a magazine. I dream of my future home to look just like the pictures I see in a magazine. I know, deep down, that this will never happen. I know that I have my own spin to what I like. I know that I will never have enough money to make perfection and I know that perfection is unrealistic. BUT. I cannot help but to want all my bedroom furniture to match, all my kitchen appliances/utensils/plates/bowls/etc to match, my living room to have matching furniture, my closet to be organized, etc etc etc.
When I go shopping, I try to keep in mind what I have at home to match everything, but that never works out well. I try to look for organization things at the store, but between my bf and I, we have too much stuff... We have both gone through our stuff to lessen things, but that never makes a big impact. I guess when we move, we can make sure to have a basement to through all the extra stuff, and keep the main living space organized... but for now, I think I need to accept the fact that the things I like will be mix-matched. And that hammy-down things are vintage (ha.)
In my mind, I always wonder if anyone lives like a magazine or if they want to live like a magazine. Does that exist? Is it okay to not live like a magazine? Is it okay to not follow the path? (Well, that is opening another can of worms with that question.... but still.)

That is my post for now, Peace.
