I thought I was done with any garage sale for a while after the trip to Alameda antique fair. Nonetheless, it seemed we were destination to get some matching glasses for the decanter that we just purchased. Check out these glasses… perfect for enjoying a glass of gin & tonic, poured from the decanter. 
Love it when I find items from separate sources and they work well together!
For many months, I’ve been wanting to check out Alameda antique faire/flea market, which happens once a month.
It was such a HUGE market with much to see. I’m quite bummed that I didn’t bring a camera because our weirdest sighting included a space suit!
Finally after walking around for 3 hours with my willing partner-in-crime, we picked up a few items to add to our space.
1) Buttercup Federalist Ironstone dish: serving bowl?
2) cute small stool with reupholstered top
3) decanter: it’s where our gin calls home now
4) vanity table – pictures to come
A new feature in this apartment that I never had in any previous apartments was the separate bathroom (with tub and sink) and water closet (just the toilet). I was told it is a very “San Francisco” and “charming” characteristics.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I bring reading materials when I “do my business”. There’s got to be a place to set down the materials when you need to. However, with our small space, it needs to be something with small foot print.
SO, I’ve been on a search for that perfect little table. Finally, over the past weekend, I found it in a moving sale!
It was used outdoor with planters on top of it. There was quite a bit of rust, especially on the tray.
After cleaning & painting, ta-da!
I left the pole section the original color to provide a little contrast. Now we have a little “table” in the water closet!
