Swung by “Tar-jay” for the usual pantry items of t.p. and cleaning products. Couldn’t help but get sucked into their home decor section where they have feature collections that change seasonally. I see the attraction…I’ve fallen prey myself for the little pretties and such. It’s fast, cheap and easy…but what are the alternatives? Can you sacrifice ease for a a little digging in a thrift store or antique mall? Can you spend a little more for something durable and ultimately more sellable down the road? Let’s take the “Tar-jay” new versus old challenge and see how F&F can come up with some comparable ideas…




















Takes a little more work but in the end you have a much more interesting and collected house.
Great post! Really love those olive baskets.
Thanks Eric – I’ve seen folks turn those olive baskets into hanging light fixtures – cool!!
