I nearly ran out of shampoo this week, and I couldn’t decide what to buy. There are entire aisles of brands I’ve never heard of at my local Target. Remember when you were in junior high, and seemingly overnight everyone found out what shampoo the pretty girls used? And, just as suddenly, it was inconceivable that anyone would use anything else? Like, what did they want, to be like gross and ugly? Ah, Salon Selectives, how I miss you.
I kind of feel that way about the schmancy apartment I visited this week. Her bathroom was an epiphany. For the first time, I saw all of those lovely little things that make me happy in exactly the right jumble. I’m sure she had a decorator. I’m sure half of the jumble was dictated at first – we use these paper hand towels, we use this candle, and we put it here. But, in a flash, I had the answer to what to do with my powder room to make it more guest friendly. Sadly, it’s an over-priced solution. Even on sale, with my store credit, I just can’t bring myself to go there. But, I love it. And, I’ll watch the sales and pray it continues to drop. And, check out this and this on my next Container Store run.
On, and BTW, as I was hunting for solutions, I found out that Pottery Barn is slowly catching on to our design aesthetic. Dr. Boy’s colors are popping up more and more, tribal/vintage cluttery knick knacks are making a comeback, and the front photo of the bath section is the color of my bathroom. They even have my soap. So, HA. For the next 10 minutes we will be trendy, fashionable and cool.
