last weekend i decided to check out the new ikea in red hook, brooklyn. the consensus? better cafeteria, but not a better shopping experience than our normal jersey location. i rented a zipcar to bring my ikea stash home and had an hour left so i thought i’d zip down to dumbo and see what was new at west elm. in addition to picking up a super cute shower curtain (i got the blue one) i was seriously tempted by these cute studded lacquered storage boxes. available in a variety of colors (sold in sets of 3 for $39) they would be so perfect for storing odds and ends, sewing supplies or any number of small bits that need organizing. i couldn’t decide on a color so i decided i should wait and come back if i really want them. but if you want them you can pick them up right here (just scroll down to the bottom) in reds, blues or neutrals.
