There were tons of sales this weekend — almost everything from our home that’s still available was marked down. I kept thinking, “It’d be great to get a post up to let anyone who’s been eyeing something in our house know,” but we were returning from spring break and had Easter and family stuff, so it didn’t happen. Then, many of the sales kept mysteriously continuing past their listed end dates, so here I am with a quick roundup for fellow deal hunters. I’ve also included brief updates on how items from our home have held up over time.
First up: our kitchen stools. We’ve been thrilled with them — they felt like a steal even at full price — and they currently have free shipping with code SHIPFREE. The backs provide solid support for adults, and they’re especially helpful when kids are squirmy at the counter.
Our dining room chandelier is currently $75 off. It’s over two feet across, so $303 for a multi-bulb fixture that size is a good value. We have it on a dimmer, which lets us create a moody atmosphere for grown-up dinners and crank it up bright for messy kid meals so we can actually see the aftermath.
Our blue wooden side chairs were a Craigslist find that we spray-painted for our second book, but if you want a similar look, Target has a pair on sale for $104. I’m partial to the mint and gray options, though white and black are timeless choices that work anywhere.
In the office we use tufted desk chairs that are, frankly, ridiculously comfortable. We removed the wheels on ours to protect the floors, but otherwise they look and feel the same after years of use. They’re on promo now with free shipping and 25% off using code YAY25OFF. We have the navy, but they come in several colors.
Our metallic rug is 62% off with free shipping — it’s extremely durable and handles everything we throw at it (including Play-Doh). The bench is 26% off plus free shipping; the navy velvet with wood legs looks even better in person than it does in photos.
We no longer sell the exact star light from our foyer, but a similar Pottery Barn option is on sale for $143. It’s slightly smaller, which makes it versatile for hallways, bathrooms, foyers, or over a small table.
Our stair runner is also on a free shipping promotion. We ordered two runners for our project and documented the install step-by-step. After three years in a busy household with two kids and a dog, the runner still looks great — we’ve only needed simple spot treatments to remove stains. It’s made for active homes.
My favorite faux fiddle leaf figs are on sale at Target right now. I keep several stashed for our beach house — they look great in photos and don’t require the maintenance of a live plant.
In the bedroom, our side tables are 35% off with free shipping. They create the illusion of nine drawers while actually offering three functional drawers, and feature a concealed power strip so you can control bedside lights without climbing out of bed. Small conveniences like that have made them a favorite.
Our hallway lights have free shipping with code SHIPFREE. For reference, we have standard 8′ ceilings and John (6′) has about five inches of clearance under these fixtures, so they work well in most hallways, bathrooms, or foyers. There are also some great decor pieces available right now at WM that are worth browsing.
The rug in our daughter’s room is on final clearance and deeply discounted. We’ve owned it for years with no issues — no pulling, unraveling, or stubborn stains despite its light color — so it’s a solid choice for bedrooms or living rooms. The pink inlay mirror above her dresser is sold out in that color, but the blue version is nearly $100 off with free shipping.
In our son’s room and the guest room we’ve used a quatrefoil-shaped light that’s on sale for 33% off plus free shipping. It provides good, even light and the brass-toned hardware gives it an elevated look. His rug is a favorite find; while the exact one isn’t available, there’s a very similar, affordable option currently discounted with free shipping.
Our bathroom mirrors are 26% off and have a free shipping promotion right now — they’re one of the items we get a lot of questions about because they’re simple, stylish, and durable.
In the laundry room, the mint garbage can and matching utility caddy are handy for lint, dryer balls, and small laundry supplies. They aren’t individually marked down, but free shipping is available with SHIPFREE. I’m a sucker for organized, pretty storage — it’s easy for things to find their way into my cart.
That’s the roundup — a selection of pieces we’ve bought, lived with, and still love. If you’re hunting for deals or wondering how these items hold up in a busy household, hopefully this helps. Enjoy the savings and the small conveniences that make everyday life a bit easier (and messier in the best ways).
