Thrifty & Chic: Strawberry Bowl
October 12, 2010I've been madly trying to organize this house as quickly as possible. It's slow going, but progress is getting made every day! Yesterday I attacked our "studio" and it's still in shambles, but I've thrown away a bunch of useless junk & I plan on giving away even more to DI. While organizing, I've been gathering together all of the miscellaneous bowls I've collected through the years & have placed them in different parts of the house for mini drop zones.
I've got a silver serving bowl in the bathroom to collect my contacts case, perfumes & contact solution. I've used an old glass vase to store all of my nail polish & polish remover and I've used old metal school lunch trays to organize my earrings. One of the drop zones I hadn't considered yet was my bedside table. I need something pretty to keep my misc earrings, wedding ring & lotion organized. While looking around the house I stumbled upon this little bowl. It doesn't match any of my decor (or not yet, anyway), but there's something just so sweet & adorable about it. I got this about a year or so ago for $1. It's so sweet, the hoarder in me can't help but try to acquire every bowl, cup or plate out there that's just like it.
Don't worry, Chris. I won't. I promise.
Have any of you watched Hoarders? While at times I want to puke, watching it every once in a while keeps my thrifting obsession in check.
