I’ll preface this by saying, there is a difference between cheap and inexpensive, and honey there is a fine line when it comes to home decor! If you follow me on Instagram then you know I love shopping and finding deals. I’m a certified bargain-hunter. That’s why I decided to create this list of my top 5 favorite places to find home decor. These are 5 places you can walk into; I have 5 top online retailers for home decor, but if you like to walk through a store with a heart full of design ideas – this list if for you girl! Hobby Lobby Hobby Lobby is one of those stores that I walk into and immediately have to hone in and remember what I came for. Why? Because everything is always on sale – and if it’s not, they have a permanent 40% off coupon on their site. You’re welcome. From candles, kitchen decor, office trinkets..not to mention their enormous selection of faux plants (for those who are plant murderers like me). IKEA Okay so maybe you don’t have an IKEA near you. This is what you’re going to want to do: Get in the largest vehicle you have access to, and drive. Keep driving. Until you reach IKEA. Welcome to heaven. (click here to find the closest one to you) Now you know how I feel about IKEA. There are some people out there who seriously hate IKEA..but let me tell you WHY it’s actually amazing (from […]
DIY peel and stick backsplash!
As you all know – I am all about budget makeovers in my home. So when I redid my entire kitchen for under $500..I knew I had to share. But even more so than budget, I like simple and easy [I mean who doesn’t?] so when I decided to add backsplash to my fabulously 1970’s kitchen, I knew I wasn’t going to shell out the money on tile and labor. That’s when I discovered the magic of Tic Tac Tiles! The past few years I’ve been dreaming about a subway tile backsplash. That might sounds pretty basic, but Subway tile is amazing for so many reasons. First, it’s completely versatile! It goes with all styles: modern farmhouse, vintage, contemporary, eclectic..just to name a few. It’s kind of all encompassing, so I knew even if my style changed over the years, Subway tile was the way to go! Secondly, it looks clean and simple, which is what I’m all about. I like my colors and patterns in my textiles and dinnerware (let’s be honest..my mugs) so I kept it simple on backsplash. If you are lost on what Tic Tac Tiles are…let me fill you in. They are peel and stick wall tiles that come in pre-sized sheets of 10″x10″ or 12″x12″. I know what you’re thinking..tacky, cheap, and unsanitary. That’s what I was thinking too when I thought about putting vinyl on my kitchen wall (I mean..I’m trying to move AWAY from the 1970’s) , but I did my research […]
