Since I've taken a brief year-long hiatus from the blog, I can't remember if I've mentioned that my mum calls the master bathroom in my parents' house her "office." Her office features a fabulous soaker tub in which she frequently takes phone calls. So when I saw the "Bathtub Mesh Catchall" at Pottery Barn, I immediately thought of her. A few weeks later, I found a twin item at Kirkland's.
Feast your eyes on this deal:
Pottery Barn Bathtub Mesh Catchall, $39
Kirkland's Metal Bathtub Basket, $16.99
I came across a similar bargain when I discovered the Mendocino Coffee Table at Walmart. I had been eying Pottery Barn's Tanner Coffee Table for nearly a year, but the price was a serious obstacle. I thought a glass table would take up less visual space in a small room and liked the look of the frame since I have some rubbed bronze accessories (curtain rods, lamps) in my living room. For a quarter of the price I now have a place to rest my beverages and a new surface for my cats to mark with paw prints.
Pottery Barn Tanner Rectangular Coffee Table, $399 (plus a $40 delivery surcharge)
Walmart Mendocino Coffee Table, $99 (with free delivery)
And for my third deal (because I must work in threes thanks to as-yet-undiagnosed OCD), I am contemplating some DIY. I have the dresser that belonged to my great-grandmother Hoho (not a blog alias-- the actual name we all called her). It is chipped and scratched and could use some touching up. I am hoping to muster the motivation to refinish it to somewhat resemble
Boston Interior's Brewster Dresser, which sells for $799.95. I am concerned about destroying a functional piece of furniture if I actually do attempt this project, but it sure would be nifty if I could pull it off.
