Gary + Elaine

Follow the antics of Gary, Elaine and all of their friends as comedienne Molly Erdman gives you a special behind-the-scenes look into the people that live in the pages of your favorite catalogs.

Catalog Living brings the snapshots to life from the pages of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and the like.

While catalogs contain a wealth of valuable design information, have you ever wondered why there is a giant plate of figs under a table?  So has Gary.

Prepare to laugh.  A lot.
