One Room Challenge Sneak Peek


In my inspiration board for my Chinoiserie Chic powder room shown below, I included a pair of gray ginger jars. I had a vision of a huge pair of pale gray ginger jars as a contrast in scale to the diminutive powder room. In fact, the photo I used for the inspiration board was of gray ginger jar lamps from 1st dibs that I cropped the tops off because I could not find gray ginger jars anywhere online. Why did I think I could find a pair the size I needed in person on the cheap?  I just had a feeling I would.

Yesterday I walked into T.J.Maxx and found this gorgeous huge pair (20") shown above in my kitchen in the softest, prettiest gray with foo dog tops for $25 each. Just a little peek since I don't want to spoil the fun for my Wednesday post, but I am so happy. They are going to be fantastic!

  2. Ginger jars are such a staple and yet these are totally unique with the color and foo dog lids. I'm glad they're getting a good home! Also, can you tell me about the pink wallpaper? fabric? on your inspiration board?

  4. I swear the thing I most miss about the US is TJMaxx/HomeGoods! In France you can find wonderful things, but it's hard to find fun "stuff" and it's always expensive when you do... Never at TJ's prices!
