Actually, I think it's the smart woman's Pottery Barn.
(Seriously, have you been to Walmart lately?)
Who knew?
I noticed a while back that they had oh-so-Pottery-Barn-or-World-Market fabric lined metal laundry baskets and tubs.
Now, they've stepped it up for summertime entertaining, and I am on totally board. I was cruising through yesterday when I saw these fantastic galvanized and enamel beverage servers Red and turquoise, just like my new bike!) and stands (ta da!) to set them on. Coordinating round and rectangular trays, as well as giant apothecary style glass beverage servers round out the line.
For those of us who love the Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware look but are attempting to live charmed lives on shoestring budgets, these sweet accessories are nothing short of being heaven sent.
I stood, debating over which one I would use most, arguing with myself as to whether or not I could actually justify getting all three. (Did I tell you they were less than %15 for the server, and less than $8 for the stand, making the set less than $23 before taxes.)
Or two or three of one colorway, to use for multiple beverages.
(I couldn't. I am a girl on a budget, in a teensy cottage with nor extra storage space.)
In the end, I chose the galvanized one. (Did I pick the right one for me? I dunno yet, but since I already have a glass beverage server, it seemed to make the most sense, from a versatility point of view, to me anyway.)
What are you waiting for? Get yourself to Walmart before they're all gone!
