Great Design For Less

I LOVE that top designers are partnering with department and big box stores to bring their designs to the general public... i.e. you and me! I'm not about to spend $200 on a pillow case so these collaborations have me squealing with delight! 

Case in point is the Happy Chic Collection by Jonathan Adler for JCP. This collection is full of colorful patterns and great designs at affordable prices. Besides the fact that the owl pillow looks like is just took a hit of acid, I love it all!

And now we are on to the Threshold Collection at Target. Target has been edgy in their fashion department in the last several years, bringing in top designer collections at a fraction of the normal cost... and their home department is finally catching on. I am definitely splurging on the iron wire table and brass animals.

Do you know of any designer collections at lower end department stores? I'm all ears!

Coffee Table Books

I got my tax return money back a few days ago and truth be told... I blew a modest amount on a bunch of coffee table books that I've been wanting for a very long time.

There are many books out there that are as stylishly put together on the outside as they are on the inside. Many of these are great for decor purposes just as much as they are for reading purposes!

I am slightly obsessed. Anyone else out there feel the same way?
