Have you ever had a friend say to you,
"that is so you!"
I consider those four little words a compliment...because
my home really is an expression of who I am.
I like when others "get me."
When I spotted this vintage metal washstand,
I thought to myself, "that is so me!"
Oh my goodness, just look at...
the yummy colors,
the little towel bar,
the perfect patina and rust...
What's not to love!
This is so me!
And I'm already changing it up...
You see, I found this vintage picnic basket.
I think it was the leather clasp that grabbed my attention.
It fit perfectly on the lower shelf of the washstand...
great for bathroom storage.
And wouldn't this washstand be fun on a porch...with a
plant in the bowl...endless possibilities!
Blessings,
Mary Alice

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your metal washstand! It picks up the color in your walls and rug, and of course your pretty blue bottles. The picnic basket is a great find, too! Thanks for a sneak peek into your loo. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find ... and I thought I was lucky to have had a little wooden one for so long that it, too, has now become vintage. :)
ReplyDeleteDiane
Perfectly you!
ReplyDeleteThe aqua blue reminds me of the sea and a cool ocean breeze. Spring is just around the corner. I can see your washstand on your porch full of red geraniums. Thank you for sharing.

Mary Alice,
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable metal washstand!!!
I love it both ways...with the wire bottle carrier and the texture metal clasp basket!!!
I'm sure where ever you place this stand, you'll enjoy it...because "it's so you"!!!
I have a dear friend that we do that same thing to each other...and we're always correct! There's just something special about a friendship in the Lord that spans over 40 years!!!
Thanks for sharing the washstand and the phrase!!!
I'm so glad "you get me"!!!
Fondly,
Pat

You're so right! What's not to love! Either way looks great. It's a wonderful metal washstand. Don't see many like it.

Oh, it's perfect... what a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would love to find one of these! Funny, it's so "me," too! I even have the metal basket with red handles and similar towels. My daughter saw the picture over my shoulder and said, "Mom, is that one of your pictures?" Guess great minds think alike. Like the basket, too, GREAT for storage!
ReplyDeleteThis is so you. And me. I love your blog and I drop by as much as possible; usually don't have time to write a comment. But its Sunday morning and I'm relaxing over my second cup of coffee. I wish you smooth sailing and oceans of blessings for this gorgeous day.
