Sooner Or Later

Didn't I tell you that I have immaculate design taste?

Didn't I imply that I am always above the decorating curve?

And didn't I make it clear that I don't walk the walk that goes with the talk I talk because I lack budget and transportation?

SO, we got that all straight, yes?

Today I find the following on the Brick House.  Which is this totally award winning blog about refurbishing/redecorating a cinder block one story out in the desert of Hemet, California.  An actual place.  What I love the best is that it is the GIRL taking the lead on most of the hammering, welding, painting, and sandblasting projects.  This GIRL who makes a point of remaining unnamed has some huge demolition/rebuild it her way chops.

Anyway, back to my original point.  These.  On her website.

I had some.  My then husband had some.  I used them as a substitute canister set until I got a real one.

They are apothecary jars from Carson, Pirie
Scott.  A snazzy and now defunct department store here in the Midwest.  They are not mid century modern by any stretch of the imagination.  I loved them and I had them back in the 70's when there were no "shelter blog" prizes to validate my coolness.

So.

Carry on.
