Junk Shopping

Katrina, Elaina, Carolina, and I went to the junk store in Williamsburg aptly named Junk. Elaina was in the market for a mirror and Katrina was in the market for some chairs. Carolina and I were pretty much along for the ride in Katrina's pretty red convertible. I ended up purchasing two vintage Coke bottles which look pretty cute as decorations in my kitchen. The ride back was kind of an adventure. Elaina and Carolina had to endure two large chairs on their laps while I tried to hold onto a mirror in the front seat. Katrina meanwhile tried her best to navigate the winding, jam-packed streets of Williamsburg without running over any women with strollers. I do not understand how people even bother to own cars in New York City. It took us so long to get through the rush hour traffic that we might as well have walked.

The two vintage coke bottles I bought:

Also, I recently gave my kitchen a makeover and failed to post pictures of it. So, here it is. The table and chairs are from IKEA. Very affordable. I think the table was something like $70 and the chairs were about $16 each. The pink curtain hanging on the left is actually a vintage scarf from Beacon's Closet. I attached it to a curtain rod with those little clippy curtain hook thingies.

And here is my painting of Martha Stewart that is hanging above the kitchen table:

Right now I'm waiting for a plane to Buffalo to board. I'm going home until Friday so I can see my sister's high school graduation. I can't wait! I haven't been home in so long.
