I’m going to admit it: I’ve been thinking a lot of garbage lately<\/strong>. \u00a0No, not gossip! \u00a0Real garbage – as in, stuff to going to the landfill. \u00a0Well, more specifically, where the trash goes \u00a0before it leaves my home.<\/p>\n

I’m redecorating a home office space for myself and I’ve sourced a lot of the d\u00e9cor at occasional sales. \u00a0I’m drawn to rather formal pieces – there’s a lot of gold and elegant florals. \u00a0So the industrial aluminum wastebasket I’ve been using doesn’t work in the space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As luck would have it, I found a fantastic gold & silver Florentine wastebasket (yes, actually made in Italy!) at The Bee Cottage<\/a> earlier this month. \u00a0Then I found another perfect wastebasket at the Urban Cottage<\/a> two weeks ago. \u00a0It’s perfect for my boyfriend, an antique map collector who lived in Paris – see below and you’ll understand why!<\/p>\n

All of this trash on the mind got me thinking: why is there never a garbage in photos of rooms featured in glossy home magazines or interior design books? \u00a0Stylish people throw things away, too, right? \u00a0And even if they’re not shown in photos, there must be trash cans in these spaces. \u00a0I turned to a favorite of mine, elledecor.com for answers. \u00a0Here’s what I found:<\/p>\n

You’ve got to have them, so wastebaskets might as well be attractive!<\/p>\n
