I’ve only been in my new house for one month, but that’s been long enough to realize that decorating is so much more expensive (and frustrating) than I ever imagined. Don’t get me wrong – it’s FUN – but the frustration comes in the fact that if I could style exactly the way I wanted, my husband would kick me to the curb. He just doesn’t understand $600 area rugs – and I told him that’s actually a good price!
Fortunately, there are online stores and retail vendors that have some of the best finds at really affordable prices. As I find great deals, I will try to document for you viewing (and shopping) pleasure.
First up: a black mirror for our downstairs half bath. We have painted the bathroom in a steel blue shade, and I decided to accent with black and white photos and decor. I found a GREAT, light-weight mirror (I hate hanging heavy pieces – such a pain). My mirror was $39.99 from Home Goods – as compared to a similar style from Joss and Main for a whopping $410. That’s a 93% saving!
I think hubby owes me a back rub – anyone else agree?
