Friday Finds: {X-Back Bistro Chairs}

Hey, Friday!!  Who is ready for the weekend?  We are supposed to have gorgeous, spring-like weather in the Dallas area so I am looking forward to enjoying that! Hope you have fun plans!

One of the biggest questions I get on Instagram is: "Where are your dining chairs from?"
I bought mine several years ago at Kirklands. They were on clearance and I had to drive to a store an hour away to get them but it was well worth it!  I have not seen them at Kirklands since then but I have rounded up some similar ones for today's Friday Finds!!  Number 1 looks exactly like the ones that I have! Keep in mind, these are all sold in sets, so the price is for 2 chairs!  As always, each product is linked below, just click on the corresponding number and description!

Looks at all these great chairs I found...so many options!

Friday Finds: {Flokati Inspired Shag Rugs}

Hope everyone had a wonderful week!  I received so many questions about our new bedroom rug shown below so I thought I would round up a few rugs that looked similar.  This particular one is also linked below (number 1).  Now, let me say this...this rug is not cheap by any means.  It is not something I would have bought for myself, but I wanted it so badly and it happened to be on sale so my husband got it for me for Christmas!  Now that I own it, I absolutely love it!  It is well worth the money and it is gorgeous in person! 

Along with my rug, here are some other options that give the same overall look!  For each product link, just click on the corresponding number and description below!

Monday Pinspiration: {Open Shelving}

Good Monday morning to you!  Hope you had a great weekend! 

Today I have rounded up my favorite photos from Pinterest that feature some amazing inspiration for open shelving in the kitchen!  We have open shelving in our breakfast nook and I love it!  It was by far one of the easiest DIY projects I have done and probably my most favorite!  I really think that the shelves, paired with my huge plate rack, really make the space...

Here are some of my favorites found on Pinterest:

Am I the only one ready to rip out my cabinets and add shelves everywhere?  I think the only thing keeping me from it is the fact that I would have to dust twice a day! What about you?

Enjoy your week!

 

 

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate: {Antique Style Metal Bed}

Happy Sunday!  It has been awhile since I did a "Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate" post but I am excited to bring this series back!  I always love finding looks for less and sharing them with you guys!  I was sourcing metal beds for a client and came across this look-a-like duo!  There are just minor design differences between these two but the price difference is HUGE! 
Check it out...

Break the Bank:
Affiliate Link: Coleman Bed
$899 (queen)

Cheapskate:
Affiliate Link: Tilden Metal Bed
$339.99 (queen) +take an additional 15% off right now with coupon code listed on site}

Love the versatile style of this bed and it could go with any style of decor.  It would also be a great bed for a child's room, something that would grow with them!  Such a great find!!  What do you think about it?
