Cheap Seats

We had been searching for some outdoor furniture for our screened porch, but figured we would have to wait until the end of summer to find an affordable set. While poking around on Pinterest, my latest obsession, I discovered our outdoor seating destiny! The Belize outdoor furniture set. This cute little set was on special over the Memorial Day weekend for only $199! At this price, a 4-piece set was too good to be true, but with a $50 off $200 coupon I had received earlier in the week via email, the deal was even sweeter! It was about 7pm on Friday night so I jumped in the car and ran over there to buy a set before all of Savannah discovered this amazing deal. I also purchased the Goddess Mat in the only-available-in-store 4x6 size (the larger size would have looked awkward in the space). By 9pm our patio was complete! ...and just in time for our Memorial Day party on Sunday evening.




The little set is perfect for our small screened porch! It is now the perfect spot to enjoy a bowl of cereal in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. 

And if you were wondering, the pillows are from target and the lanterns were a TJ Maxx find from several months ago (and are part of our wedding decor collection...less than 5 months!).

Hello Gorgeous!

I don't know what it is, but to me, dining rooms are not complete without a mirror. Strange, I know. And while roaming around our local HomeGoods store, this one practically jumped off of the shelf and into my cart. How gorgeous is this bad boy!?




Look at the beautiful mother of pearl detailing. It was love at first sight. Especially when I saw the clearance price! Score.




If you can't see the small type, the frame was originally $250 with a HomeGoods price of $99.99 and a clearance price of $69! Glorious. And the perfect addition to our dining room which is coming together piece by piece.




Our search continues for a new chandelier, a buffet to put under the mirror, and a slate blue (possibly patterned) rug to tie in the colors in our living room since it is an open floor plan.
