Recent Living Room Purchases

5/8/2012

 
Moving from NYC to the suburbs has it's challenges in terms of lifestyle adjustment, but one of the most enjoyable parts of our move has been working on decorating our new home - and of course I'm doing it on a budget!  While the living room is still not complete and ready to show you quite yet, I thought I would share with you a few of my recent purchases for this space that I think are great deals.

First up this pretty blue chinoiserie vase for our mantel...

This is currently being sold at Casa.com for $42.18, and I have seen it else where for even more, but I found it at Home Goods last week for $14.99!

I also picked up this blue zebra-esque area rug for $39.99 on the same trip to Home Goods.  While I'm not thrilled with the wall to wall carpeting in our new place, it has been great for our baby, and I'm trying to work with it by adding a few rugs here and there.

Don't worry, I'm not going to leave the tape there forever!  I was just testing out the dimensions of different ottomans to see how they would look in this space.  This is a new decorating trick for me, but it was so helpful in terms of finding the best shape for the room.  When you are doing a lot of online shopping using tape to test out the dimensions of a new piece in your room is a great way to ensure that you will be buying a piece that fits well in your space.

This is the ottoman we finally settled on...

Savafieh Fulton Large Leather Cocktail Ottoman, Wayfair $279

When purchasing a new coffee table/ottoman for this space I decided to go with an ottoman because of our young child who may be cruising around soon.  I thought the softer surface would be good for her.  There are hundreds of leather ottomans on the web, but this one fit our requirements the best in terms of the look, dimensions, and price - and you can't beat free shipping!

I discovered these greek key end tables at Effortless Style...I can't believe they are only $73.99 a piece!  I bought two, and I still spent less than $150 on the pair.

And last but not least this white ceramic garden stool from One Kings Lane for $69.99...

I have been on the hunt for a white garden stool for less than $100, and most versions I have found are at least $129.  I have noticed that One Kings Lane and
Joss & Main both frequently have garden stools as part of their collections if you are in the market for one too.

When the entire space is complete I will share more photos with you.  In the meantime I will share my latest pillow purchase with you and a special discount for these lovely pillows later in the week.

Have you made any luxe for less living room purchases recently?
