For today's Monday Home post I am introducing a new feature called "A Few of my Favorite Things for $25 or Less." In this feature I will share my favorite home, fashion, beauty, food, and wine finds that make me smile on a daily basis, and that all cost $25 or less!
So to start off this new feature I am writing today about a few of my favorite home accessories that I believe add character to our home for a relatively low price!

White Ceramic Fish Lamp, Home Goods, $14.99
We have this lamp on our yellow West Elm Parsons Desk, and the white lamp provides a great contrast to the bright yellow desk. I was so excited when I found this lamp because I needed a very small lamp for this space, and almost all the lamps I had found in the past were too big. This lamp was the perfect size, although I am still on the hunt for a better lampshade!
Blue and White Ceramic Balls, Pearl River Mart, $1.99
I love the way these blue and white Asian balls look gathered in a glass bowl. It's an easy and affordable way to add a classic touch of chinoiserie to any room. It's also much more practical than fruit or flowers because they never go bad! We had a few decorative glass bowls already when I decided to create this arrangement, but Jamali Garden usually has a great assortment of inexpensive glass bowls if you don't already own one.

Plastic Guest Napkin Holder, Bed Bath and Beyond, $9.99
Caspari Guest, Napkins, Gracious Home, $7.00
I believe that having beautiful guest towels in your bathroom adds a great deal of elegance for a small price. I also added a starfish to my guest towel holder for an added nautical touch. I have had this napkin holder for a long time and I do not know if it is still available in stores, but I found this similar guest towel holder on Decorative Things for $20, and it comes with your choice of Caspari Guest Towels!

L'Occitane Shea Butter Liquid Soap Verbena, $22
This shea butter liquid soap does it all! It cleans, moisturizes, and has a light and fragrant aroma of Verbena. I know that $22 may seem steep for liquid hand soap, but I promise that this bottle will last you a long time, and besides being multipurpose, it instantly brightens up your sink area and adds a level of luxury to your bathroom which far surpasses that of every day liquid or bar soap.

White Ceramic Pineapple, Home Goods, $14,99
This pineapple has moved around many times in our apartment, but no matter where it is stationed it always makes me smile!
Orange Foo Dog, HomeGoods, $10.99
I found this beautiful orange food dog with the Greek key print for $10.99 on clearance at the Home Goods in Paramus, NJ. Unfortunately I was only able to find one dog from this set, and at first I hesitated to put just one Foo Dog on display on it's own. I'm sure this Foo would look great in a pair, but I have found that having just one Foo Dog on it's own is a fun variation on this classic look, and it looks surprisingly good solo! It's also a great bookend, and adds a fun splash of orange to our living room!

Vino Carafe, Crate and Barrel, $6.95
Vino Glasses, Crate and Barrel, Set of four, $9.95
Vino Glasses, Crate and Barrel, Set of four, $9.95
This Vino carafe and set of Vino wine glasses from Crate and Barrel is adorable and great for entertaining! I use this set all the time and get so many compliments on it. And at $17 total I would say this carafe and wineglass set is definitely a great deal!
