"A Surprising Source"

Hi all!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.  I'd like to say that I got some rest and relaxation, but I can't.  You know it's true what they say, design is never done.  I had hoped to be able to reveal my living room makeover today, but unfortunately stenciling the longest wall in your house is a very time consuming project to complete.  The best I can do is offer a sneak peek.

 

 

I think I'm really going to love the finished product.  Here's hoping I can get it done soon. My living room is a wreck. 

In other news, I stumbled upon this awesome storage ottoman last week while surfing the web.

I've been looking for a set of two for a little entry makeover I'm working on.  I loved the fact that these were small but sturdy, offered ample storage inside and were covered in a modern yet neutral fabric.

They also received really great buyer reviews online and the price was unbeatable.  You'll never guess where I got them....

Yep.  That's what I said.  I know we're all obsessed with Target and their super cool on-trend options but you may want to give Wal-Mart a second look.  Now, I have to admit, I am NOT a Wal-Mart fan (for numerous reasons), but after perusing their website, I stumbled upon a number of winners.

Wal-Mart's website actually sells merchandise for a number of other more expensive sites like Wayfair, but the Wal-Mart branded items still offer the best pricing.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with their options.  My shopping philosophy has always been a leave no stone unturned kind of approach.  Let's just say I may have just found a new stone. 

Have you purchased any great home décor items at Wal-Mart lately?
