The Look for Less

Just had to share my latest budget-friendly find. As you know, I'm sprucing up my basement this winter. This is the design board I created with the vision I have for the space.

Notice the weathered brass end table?

Arteriors Santiago Iron End Table

Price: $756


Now, I was not really considering spending nearly $800 on an end table for my basement that will likely be completely abused by my children. I just liked the look, and figured maybe I'd find something similar.

Well, I did…

Threshold Metal Honeycomb Accent Table

Price: $63.99

I was perusing the aisles of my beloved Target, and this little gem jumped right out at me. It was marked down from an original price of $79. Score!


If you're in the market for an accent table in a weathered brass finish, run to Target. They'll hook you up.

Now, I haven't seen the Arteriors version in real life. Perhaps it is a solid iron piece, unlike my hollow Threshold table. Or maybe it's solid gold.

But, for my purposes, I'll take the look for less.

Have you scored any looks for less lately? I'd love to know.

TGIF, friends!! Let's get this weekend started...

Sweet Ideas for Getting Cozy: Take Two

This arctic weather is crazy, isn't it? I don't know how things are in your neck of the woods, but here in Indiana, we're bracing for more snow and more subzero temps. It is brutal, and feels like it might never end.

Now, more than ever, it's nice to come home to a warm, cozy house. So, let's talk about "getting cozy."
Every cozy house must have these…

From cable-knit to cashmere and tartan to houndstooth, I love a good throw. Warm up your home by draping them over chairs, sofas, ottomans and beds. Hang them on a quilt ladder or store them in baskets so they're easily accessible whenever you need to curl up and get cozy.

Stay warm, friends!!
