I am currently preparing to move into my very first
apartment by myself. Thus, I think that gives me a great opportunity to be looking around those houseware and thrift shops and find a
decor style that is uniquely me.
Most recently, I have found myself really into cocktail decor. For example, this set of 4 plates from
Crate and Barrel: (click link to view items on site) $3.95 individually and $12.95 for the whole set
I absolutely
adore these plates! I actually bought them after only visiting them in the store twice! (I usually have to revisit an item in any store at least 3 times before I actually decide its worth purchasing.)
So.... What is it about
cocktail decor (or whatever you call it) that makes it seem so classy? (It is classy right?) Is it the maturity of the theme? Does it somehow posses and air of sophistication? Or is it flat out just the variety of colors?
What do you think?
Other things that I find I fancy:
I love those plates, too! I just bought some wine glasses at CB2 and some plates at Anthropologie. I can't find the glasses online but here's one of the serving plates: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=873116&catId=HOME-TABLETOP-DINNERWARE&pushId=HOME-TABLETOP-DINNERWARE&popId=HOME&navAction=top&navCount=90&color=mul&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&subCategoryId=HOME-DINNER-PLATES
