$5 Well Spent
We started our weekend with a trip to the Palo Alto Farmer's Market, where I picked up $5 worth of hydrangeas. I split the bunch, placing some in the guest bathroom and the rest on the entry table.
I know I've shown pictures of this bathroom before, but I've finally gotten around to accessorizing it. There's art on the walls (well, a few of the Penguin postcards from this box of 100); a vase from my favorite Etsy store, High Street Market; and a vintage shaving/mirror thing from The Perish Trust.
The entry area is a work in progress. I recently replaced the mirror with this twig one, which I'd been eyeing since seeing it in Benjamin Dhong's SF Decorator Showcase room a few years ago. I still haven't decided whether to keep it this natural color or paint it (Ben's design includes a gold version). I got a great deal on the mirror at a One King's Lane Tastemaker Tag Sale. If you're not already checking these out, you should! Most of the stuff is out of my price range, but every once in a while, there's something so good and deeply discounted, I can't pass it up.
Other weekend notes:
- We had a delicious dinner on Saturday night at Wayfare Tavern. A woman in the restroom actually struck up a conversation with me about the well-designed bathrooms in the restaurant. Random, right? Though she had a good point.
- I haven't worked on a craft project in ages and it was fun to make something again. It's for the Anthology launch party on Thursday, which is going to be a good time. If you're in the Bay Area, come join us!
