Wednesday Style Points: Tole Cache Pots = “LBD” of This Time of Year
We’ve been BUSY these past few days…so I will get right to it!!
(Fact: We have been using Tole Cache Pots all week & so have our clients)
1970’s French Tole. Missed this sale on OKL, but am SURE we could find someone to fabricate something similar with our Couture Chateau “made just for you” on the underside…;)!
tole also tôle (t

noun:
So yes….this happens to be an official waste basket, but I have been known to use these for fabulous mini evergreens around this time of year!! I mean, something this pretty should be “up”! Image linked: Pink Palazzo Tole Wastebasket, Taigan
Love it.
Why the “LBD”?
a) it lives in your home all year
b) it fits your home decor all year
c) it can be “dressed up” or “dressed down” = customized per occasion
d) it faithfully pulls through as a design staple
I mean…good enough for Brooke Astor…good enough for me…;)!
These were auctioned off by Sotheby’s from the Estate of Brooke Astor. I can see them bare like this or filled with delightful things!
Later I will show you some of the variations we have scattered throughout my home & my client’s homes. Just yesterday, we received a cell phone shot from a client hosting Thanksgiving. She used wheat. Next month am certain it will hold greens. Lovely!
We found this stack on Hound Hill Design. What I like is that you can literally shop Home Goods to Sotheby’s for the ones that fit your home. Contemporary to traditional. No excuses!
oh, and…..
e) I simply LOVE them empty. Austere. On a clear clean table or chest. Just like that perfect “LBD” it can stand alone!!
