Decorating my Lustron is a never-ending project. I’ve been filling out and reimagining every prefabricated nook for nine years, so I thought it would be fun to share my ongoing adventures in thrifting. Lately I’ve been playing with clusters on top of my Danish bar cabinet in the dining room corner.
The McCoy black and white planter from Etsy was the sole decoration for months. Then the Russel Wright carafe, sugar bowl, and creamer that lived on the dining table took refuge on the bar because they were often jostled when Andrea worked on his computer in the dining room. So I decided to make them a permanent fixture and add a couple of tall pieces to the mix. I chose Danish modern teak candleholders (another Etsy score) and an aqua confetti vase by Shawnee pottery, found at Broad Street Antique Mall in Chamblee.
Here are resources for you to find similar treasures of your own:

It honesty makes me feel better to hear that you’ve been at it for 9 years. Your home is so beautiful and the first time I saw it, I was amazed at how well curated it is! It inspires me to keep tinkering and improving my home!
Awww, thanks Kip! Your home already looks great, but I know — there’s always room for tinkering and new ideas, right? You’d feel a *lot* better if I showed you the second bedroom now, which is back to a work in progress (aka “a hot mess”). We’re making space for Andrea to have a desk and store some gear.
