For the home

I love to accessorize. It's only natural that tendency would spill over into home decor.

This branch table, I saw in person at Home Goods in December and it was $180. Even though I have no where to put it, I still really want it. If I go back and it's still there, I'm not sure I'll be able to exercise any self restraint at all.

The knobs are something I really need for my desk, the ones on it presently are a particularly spiky floral design which have been quite painful on the occasions when my knee has collided with them. 

The photo frames I currently have are also in need of an update. I picked up a couple of frames by this Italian company at T.J.Maxx last month and wouldn't mind having another.

Chevron throw pillows. No explanation necessary.

Branch Accent Table, $395 at Safavieh Home

Cloisonne Chrysanthemum Pull, $10 each at Anthropologie

Striped Picture Frame by Natalini, under $10 at T.J.Maxx

Chevron Throw Pillow Covers, $26 for two at Etsy (or for the fully stuffed kind, $24 each at Target)

Taste of Italy

This week at TJMaxx and Home Goods you might be lucky enough to find these glasses from Italy. They come in several different sizes and patterns, all clear glass with brightly colored designs. Some of them even use glitter, like the drinking glass set I chose.

They were a steal at $6 (the smaller glasses were less) and will be perfect in the apartment I will someday have.

The only downfall is that they are not dishwasher safe, so if the thought of washing something by hand makes your head hurt, then go pick something up at Ikea.
