If you know me at all, you know I can find anything at a good price. I thrive on a quality bargains, and I make it my mission to find the best thing I possibly can for the lowest price possible. My house is full of great things I got for a great price. I plan on bringing you great deals whenever I can find them, so keep coming back to see what new things I have found for a great price.
First great deal?
This awesome bamboo tile rug from Pearl River. It measures 5 feet by 6 feet and is a great way to cover your floor on a budget. It is only available in the natural color, but it has so many possibilities.
Think about stenciling on it before you use it, just don't forget the polyurethane! Drape it over your dining room table over a bright tablecloth for a unique dinner presentation. You could also disassemble the rug and use the tiles for crafts, or make smaller rugs out of it. It would also make good jewelry, bags, place mats, etc. I can think of all sort of ways to use this.
Looking for some great pillows without breaking the bank?
Then try Stretch and Cover. They sell some amazing decorative throw pillow covers (and inserts, when they have them) for only $5. YES, FIVE DOLLARS! There are a bunch to choose from, and you can get some serious gems.They also have pillows with screen printed letters which are hot right now. Stretch and cover also makes some great slipcovers for sofas and chairs as well as dining room chairs, ottomans, and even folding chairs. Give the place a look!
Looking for some simple napkin rings? Then try these:
Fish's Eddy has these plain diner white (ceramic?)beauties for only $.71 apiece in their clearance section.
They are perfect as a simple finish to your table, or you could jazz them up with paints and flowers. They would also make a really nice wedding gift on a budget, since most people never think to buy them for themselves.
Just make sure you don't tell people how much you paid for them!
And last but not least:
These gorgeously shaped bamboo cutting boards available at Branch are so beautiful, I just want to touch them. The small one is $8, and the large one is $25, which is a very reasonable price for these shapely boards.
If you have never used a bamboo cutting board before, I suggest you make the switch. Not only is it a sustainable product, but it holds up very well to heavy use. Unlike regular wooden boards, they stay looking nice over the years. You don't get the splintering and cracking like you would normally see on a wood board. To maintain them, just use a bit of mineral oil and rub it into the grain from time to time.
I have 3 bamboo cutting boards myself and aside from the nicks in them, they look perfect. In fact, I have tossed out all my wooden kitchen implements and have replaced them with bamboo because it holds up so well to use. I have also noticed a sharp decrease in my husband giving me food poisoning since switching from wood to bamboo.
Coincidence? I think not.
Enjoy your weekend, and I hope to see you back here as I expand and revamp my website. And remember, click the ads so I can pay the bills!
