Linda Oxborrow said...

and of course... the ALL THINGS THRIFTY BLOG... because if I can see it- it gives me the idea and then I go look for the tools to recreate!!!

J Fo said...

My favorite decoration is my curtains in my kitchen. They were not a 'thrifty' find, but I LOVE them. My one and only splurge from Pier 1.

and I love stealing ideas from Pier 1 and trying to make them cheaply.

J Fo said...

Love Tai Pan...

Sherratt's said...

Sherrie said...

I love all these prizes and hope to win something.

Mike, Jess, Max and Gracie! said...

Um...I like TJ Max. I got three people to follow your blog, that I know of:)

Sherrie said...

I don't know if you consider this a decoration or not, but my favorite in my home is my hutch. Because it holds all of my china and beautiful crystal that I can have on display at all times.

Sherrie said...

Michaels

Sherratt's said...

I like to shop at Target

Sherrie said...

Ross

Sherratt's said...

I love Tai Pan

Ruth said...

This is bad, but I get tired of things pretty quickly, so I like the things that are the newest, like the rug in my living room.

Sherrie said...

Target

Sherratt's said...

Living in Cedar City you have to count Robert's because it is almost your only choice!!

Sherratt's said...

TJ Maxx is good

Ruth said...

Stores I like are any stores that I can get to! I live in a small town and with 4 kids, it's hard to get to the big city and shop:( But anywhere I go, it's straight to the clearance section to score some great deals!

Sherratt's said...

Pottery Barn has cute ideas I like to copy but I don't shop there very often and I like IKEA for some stuff too!!

KjO said...

Well you finally did it. You finally broke me down. I have fought hard and long but I can no longer keep up the resistance. I didn't want to beg...but you drove me to it. So here we are...me in an abject and abased state crying that the kiss of lady luck might land gently upon me and grant me the red side table.

Kristian Olsen
Though to be fair, I am not sure how you are going to ship it up to my abode. That might cost a pretty penny.

As for favorite decor in the home...I would have to say they family photos. We had a friend who is a wonderful photographer take these great photos of us...we have them dotted around the home. Love 'em.

Michelle M. said...

LOVE that red end table!

My fav decoration in my home is a set of 3 paintings of Tuscany. I love Italy and want to live there someday! I just love the colors and the feel of them :)

Michelle M. said...

One of my fav stores is Tai Pan

KjO said...

I love Cost Plus/World Market. I really like their furniture and sense of style.

Kristian j Olsen

Michelle M. said...

I also love DownEast Home - they have killer deals!

Michelle M. said...

Can't forget about Ikea!

KjO said...

We have an IKEA here in Portland. While some of their stuff is crap occasionally you can find these great little gems at a thrifty price.

Kristian j Olsen

Michelle M. said...

Love Krumpets!

Michelle M. said...

And I also use Roberts.

Oops, I forgot to put my first and last name on all my comments. But you know me, so hopefully that's ok :)

Michelle Malie

we are GIBSON said...

Pick me! I always have great ideas but always lack the "doing" phase... Happy to take things you've already done for me!

KjO said...

In Portland there is this great store called the ReBuilding Center. Basically it is like the D.I. of the construction world. People come and sell all their old stuff like sinks, toilets, wood, furniture, frames, etc. A great place to find hidden treasures. You can see their website here

www.rebuildingcenter.org

My favorite decoration in my home is a painting that my brother in law painted of a clipper ship. It's not his usual subject...he normal paints trains (think Howard Fogg) and they are all beautiful. But the first time I saw this painting (the ship one) I fell in love with it. Begged him to put me in his will to get it. I thought that was the only way I would ever get it...if he died! LOL But when my ex-husband and I got remarried, he gave it to us for our wedding present. We love it. It was the first thing we hung on our wall when we moved in.

KjO said...

While it is out of my price range I do like West Elm.

Kristian j Olsen

ellemenopii said...

One of my favorite places to shop for home decor is IKEA. Sadly, we just moved to Omaha and they don't have one here. :( But I can still order online! YAY!

ellemenopii said...

Another place I love to shop for home decor is World Market. They always have such great add-on pieces...no matter where I shopped for the other things in the room...something from World Market with work with the room.

ellemenopii said...

OK, I might get eyes rolling on this one, but I don't care. I like to shop at Target for home decor. I love some of the new modern decor lines they have now. Most of it gives me inspiration to decorate where none existed before.

Sarah said...

My favorite home decor piece is a sofa table my grandma gave me. it was bright blue and I painted it black and distressed it- I love it. Okay, and I am dying. I seriously NEED to have that red end table- I am in love!!! You guys are so amazing, you have done such a great job. I tell everyone about you and I am a religious follower and check your site daily. You inspire me- thanks for everything!! I hope I win somethin!! Sarah Collette

ellemenopii said...

Probably my number one favorite place to shop for home decor would be West Elm. Man, I love that place. It speaks for itself.

Another place I go often is the swap meets off 3500 south in West Valley.

The Ramirez Family said...

I enjoy going to second hand stores Like Savers and DI too look for hidden treasures.

The Ramirez Family said...

I LOVE yard sales. Every year my family and I go up on the east beck to and the "rich" home yard sale. AWESOME deals can be found.

The Ramirez Family said...

I love to go to Pottery Barn, Taipan Trading, and all the other expensive trendy stores to get ideas for me to try and do on my own with pieces I have found at the places listed above!!!

kemp-y-QUA!! said...

new follower. pretty cool site

Becca and Colby said...

One of my favorite pieces is a painting I found at SuperSmith's in Lehi (when we lived there). It said "Display only" but I wanted it so bad, I hefted it right off the display and paid for it and no one said anything! I love it!

Sally Sagers said...

Super Cute! Love it all, but especially the red end table

Sally Sagers said...

I love that RED side table! It's gorgeous! As for my favorite decoration...I love my painting that I got from a college roommate. She is an extremely talented artist. It's very bold and it represents communication and talking. I LOVE originals!

Eli & Mandy said...

I LOVE Etsy! They have so many different things available and a lot of talented people.

Lara said...

My fave piece of home decor right now is probably an antique desk that I painted red. I use it as a sideboard in my dining room, but it hides art supplies for my children.

Nikki said...

My favorite decoration is my tree. I have it done in ice blue, and silver, and the wrapping paper matches the tree. I could stare at it all night. It is beautiful! I love the red side table! It is beautiful! You girls are fabulous!

I really do enjoy Target and Wal-mart as well. They often have affordable, decent stuff for the home too!

The Pangans said...

Favorite stores. Roberts, because that's the only place here in Cedar. I haven't yet discovered the joys of the DI.

The Pangans said...

The Pangans said...

I can find cute stuff at Joann's sometimes.

The Christensen Family said...

I love to go to Roberts and Michaels to get ideas.

midRae said...

Favorite decoration in my house is my Family Wall. It's the biggest wall in my house and I am building it everyday. As I get pictures or find something that I really like I add it to the wall. Eventually it will go above the window and who knows when it will stop. I just look at my Family Wall and I feel love.

The Christensen Family said...

Target is another good source.

The Pangans said...

I also like to look at Target for seasonal items. They have cute bedding also.

The Christensen Family said...

Believe it or not, I sometimes find cool things at the Dollar Store if it's a good day!

Ammon and Chalise said...

my current favorite decoration is a fireplace I made for the Christmas season. We put our Fall leaves with lights in it for the "fire". It just makes everything more cozy.

The Christensen Family said...

I LOVE to look for ideas in a Pottery Barn magazine, however, they are WAY over priced so I can usually copy an idea for a lot less somewhere else. I love to find cool things in thrift stores as well.

Honey B. said...

My favorite decorating item is in my kitchen...its a wooden sign that says 'I Only Have a Kitchen Because It Came With the House'.

I'm going to order another one that says 'Every Pan is a No-Stick Pan if You No-Cook In It'.

Ammon and Chalise said...

Without traveling outside of Cedar, my favorite place to shop is Roberts, especially with their 50% off coupon.

Ammon and Chalise said...

I love yard selling for others unfinished projects. That is where most my Christmas projects came from. Can't beat yard sell prices

Boss said...

In my home one of my favorite decor items are a set of candlesticks I got at Costco a few years ago. I just know that in the right setting on a side table ( havent figured out how to stage it yet) that they would make a great statement.

Boss said...

I love the unique things to be found at the DI and at Ross

Boss said...

My next fav decor is a huge picture of a white flower that my sister in law traded me for some accent pillows I made her when she changed her room theme.

Leslee said...

Oh my gosh...love the mirror and the end table! My favorite decor piece in my home would have to be my coffee table that i stripped, sanded, beat to death with a chain (for that antique look)painted, and glazed! Alot of work, but totally FREE, and looks great!
