Metal . Ware

I recently picked up this vintage metal cabinet from Lamb's Gate Antiques. After we ripped out the hideous built-in that had previously been in the house, we'd been looking for the perfect piece to replace it. It had to be small enough to not feel in the way, but substantial enough to avoid looking like we we'd just sat something there.

This little cabinet is both functional and lovely, + it goes with the color scheme (green, gray, cream/white) that we've been using. Now I'm keeping an eye open for a mirrored tray + a vintage globe, and we're going to use it as a little bar of sorts. (Right now it's home to some coral and vintage test tubes that I found at a salvage shop.)

In other news, I finally caught up with the last two episodes of Gossip Girl, and without spoiling anything, let me just say this:

1. I get that Nate is not the brightest bulb in the box, but after getting bamboozled sooo many times, why doesn't he start to pick up on scheming more quickly? WAKE UP NATE!
2. No one likes Vanessa. Can't we just all agree on that and get rid of her already?
3. If we've thrown out all pretense of reality - which, lets face it, we have - lets stop saying that any of these people are college students. Living in NY and having a fancy apartment does not a student make.
