One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure

Is it normal to want a trashcan for Christmas? Anyone else out there have strange, deep-rooted yearnings for a chocolate lacquered waste bin with a brass banding? If you too suffer from this affliction, please enjoy this collection of mighty fine trash cans that you absolutely do not need, but may want from the bottom of your heart.

  1. Lacquered Hexagonal Bin from The Lacquer Company, sold here.

    A mere $595 for the waste bin of your dreams! Lamshop sells a similar one (no brass) for $295 if you only want to lose half your arms and legs.

Robert and I have that in common, a love of fine trash cans. See his Instagram post below:


It’s this sort of attention to detail in interior design that inspires me and fuels my love of random inanimate objects.
