More Tucson Touristing

In addition to DeGrazia, on our first and rainiest day of touring Tucson, Tracey and I went to Green Things, a plant nursery that also had some Mexican art for sale at a shop called Zocalo.

I loved the jaguar.

They had copper hammered furniture in the style of my patio table that I bought in Taos last year.

And punched tin.

And metal palm trees, lol.

Lights! I usually don’t think to look up, but we have a remodel coming up and have been thinking about lighting. I wouldn’t go with this style though.

The store was in a building that used to be a house. They had kitchen items for sale displayed in the kitchen.

I was very excited – not about the dishes and other kitchen trinkets for sale, but because the layout was similar to what I had been thinking for my own kitchen. I have been working on designing our kitchen remodel, and this helped me think about how – or even whether – to put a refrigerator in a corner with a doorway to the right of it. In our case there’s less space between the corner and the doorway, so I would have to put the refrigerator on the end without the pantry. I don’t think it would look weird as long as I put cabinet siding along the side of the refrigerator, to give it a built-in look.

Here’s outdoor decor displayed on a covered patio.

And of course, pots and statues.

John loves pigs, but I didn’t buy one.

Lots of lots of pots.

Tracey bought a cute pot that was small enough to fit in her luggage. Then we could hear thunder in the distance, so we hopped in the car to get home in case a sudden desert deluge flooded the streets.
