Home Again, Home Again…

Thursday, September 10, 2009



One of my favorite articles I've worked on recently comes out in The Washington Post Express tomorrow today, but you can read it online already. For the piece, I went flea marketing, thrifting and Craigslist-searching with a few local experts — including the very fun Stu and Janet of amazing home web shop Three Potato Four, based nearby in NoVa (that's them above, in their seriously cute home) — and did my best to steal all their scouting secrets. (And also pick up some really cute stuff for myself!)

All that hunting was enough to motivate me to try and take care of a few unfinished touches around my apartment… I've got my eye on a brass headboard at the moment, which I'm hoping to spray paint hot pink. Perhaps all this home activity will spawn a new site… Hmmm. Decorating is Spinach?

Ms. Spinach said...

nope, not me! it's stu and janet of online store three potato four, with their son at home (their adorable daughter was off with friends for the afternoon!) we shot them for the washington post express, where i work full time as an editor.

After carrying it around in my bag for nearly a week, I finally got a chance to stop and read! Great piece, great finds! (Oh, that's me as "M" in my first post.)
