Where Can I Buy Cheap Home Decor?

If you visit some friends’ home and fall in love with their interior designs, you might be surprised if they told you where they bought many items. You really do not have to shop high-end home décor galleries and spend a fortune. Learn some of the designing tricks of the pros on home décor blogs and find great items at amazing prices. You get the look you want for a fraction of the price. Try these exciting hacks for home décor on a budget: Warning Video has cursing but its perfect for this post

Go To Neighborhood Yard Sales

You have probably heard the expression that one person’s junk is another one’s treasure. This can be true when you go to second-hand sales around your neighborhood. Whether you call it a yard sale, garage sale, or a tag sale, you can often find cheap home style items. People pay a lot for decorative items, then get tired of looking at them. Some things that they are selling at rock-bottom prices may be decorations that you need for a certain room. If the price is a little too high, you could do some polite bargaining to get it cheaper.

Visit Flea Markets

There is a reason that you see famous designers visiting local flea markets on their television shows. They know that people can find lovely vintage and antique items for a lot less than they would in an antique store. You can find just about any kind of modern or antique accessories for a cheap home style that will look expensive. Flea markets are the perennial place to find striking antique furniture that needs a little loving restoration. Many home décor blogs list some of the best flea markets to visit in certain areas.

Thrift Stores

When people are cleaning out their garages and attics, the things often get donated to area thrift stores. Most are ran by charitable organizations that use proceeds from sales to fund worthy causes. Just like flea markets, you can find a plethora of vintage furniture and other items that would complement your home décor. They often issue loyalty cards and have special days to buy things at a discount.

Online Auctions And Local Buy/Sell Websites

If you are looking for certain things to decorate your home, you might consider online auctions. Although the sites’ rules may vary, most of them show pictures and descriptions of items for members to place bids. You need to be careful to ask a lot of questions about the items before you bid. Most of the sites offer excellent buyer protection. You can peruse beautiful home décor items from all over the world!

Do a Google search to find reputable buy/sell websites in your area. People buy and sell items and agree at a price and meeting location. Play it safe and always meet in a public area. Remember that if a deal is too good to be true, it might be. When you ask a lot of questions and play it safe, you can get find a lot of good home accessories for cheap. You can also browse online discount home décor sites.

Home décor blogs can give you all sorts of ideas for decorating your home. If you do some research and a little footwork, you can find the same or comparable items for much less than retail. You do not have to tell visitors where you buy your décor. Keep them guessing!

~home tour~{part 2}

Today's post is a follow up to yesterdays.
Yesterday you saw the exterior and gardens of a gorgeous home that belongs to one of my friends.
Today I am taking you inside to show you what a lovely job they did turning this house into a home.

Lets jump right in with the entry.
This canvas is a photo the homeowner took.
A comfy rug and little bench as well as a few personal items complete the look.


Right off the entry is the living room.
As you know, my home is full of neutrals.
But that doesn't mean I don't love color.
This house is full of it and it just makes me happy!



The homeowner painted this piece of her daughter.




Next up is the cool staircase that is right off the dine in kitchen.
{looking back to the living room bookshelves}


There is a large round dining table under this fabulous round Ralph Lauren chandelier.
The encaustic painting is done by Willow Bader and might have been one of my favorite things in her home, although there were so many.



The kitchen itself is gorgeous with it's 2 tone cabinets, high end appliances, and built in espresso machine.







Off the kitchen is a little breakfast room that leads out to the backyard.
Sign made by yours truly.
Email me if you are interested in one.
lakeliving4@yahoo.com



A pair of old leather chairs, down pillows, and soft blankets are the perfect place to start or end your day.


The kitchen does not have a pantry, so off the other side there is a room dedicated to "food and wine"
Did you ever think food could look so good?




Opposite the "pantry" is a "wine bar"



More paintings from the homeowner.


Would you like to see where she paints?
Right behind these barn doors.......





Tons of light fills this studio.








 So, what do you think?
Beyond inspiring right?
I hope you loved every inch of it as much as I did.

xoxo
