The Elegant Thrifter:
Fabulous & Frugal Fun: Bring the Outdoors In, and Vice Versa!
Yesterday while prepping for a May 19 party at Housing Works’ new Crosby St. store for The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating With Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Details, I ran across this metal planter that I couldn’t keep from staring at. Now I have no room in my apartment for an addition of this size, but I love this metal structures sinewy arms and the mottled finish that it has developed with age and weather. Clearly, it would be happy indoors or out, and works just the way it is with all its age spots and blemishes, or could be brightened up with a fresh coat of paint. I’d love to have just a window box, but I bet the co-op board would freak!
Come visit me and pick up a copy of The Find at the brand-spanking new Housing Works Thrift Shop, 130 Crosby Street, just off Houston, Tuesday, May 19, at 7 pm.
In May 2009, Clarkson Potter will publish The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating with Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Objects, and Vintage Details by Stan Williams, The Elegant Thrifter
