Living Room Updates, Major Sales and My Latest Purchases

Our living room is still a work in progress after we brought Karl to the beach house and bought our new sofa, which of course inspired a cascade of other changes. I wanted to share a few sneak peeks plus a roundup of great weekend home sales—think $60 side tables, $119 living room chairs, and kitchen stools under $100. Here’s what we’ve been loving and where to find the best deals right now.

The two cane-back living room chairs we recently purchased are currently 30% off—just $119 per chair—and you can take an extra 15% off with code TURKEY. They’re roughly the same seat height as our sofa and feel very comfortable once you add a small accent pillow for extra back support. I stained the legs with Minwax Provincial to better match the finish on our kitchen stools, which pulled the whole look together.

Speaking of kitchen stools, World Market currently has 40% off furniture with code FURNSALE, so our stools are available for under $100 each. We’ve had them for over a year with zero issues, and they’ve held up beautifully—so they’re definitely worth considering for multiple rooms or another property.

Our new sofa has been fantastic—durable, kid- and pet-friendly, and very comfortable. With the weekend sales it’s $400 off in the “steel” color, and an even deeper discount (50% off) in the slightly darker “truffle” tone, which reads as a warm charcoal in person. For a 93-inch Crate & Barrel sofa to be marked down to around $824 from $1,650 is a rare find and a major score if you’re furniture shopping right now.

Crate & Barrel rarely discounts this deeply, which is why I couldn’t stop talking about it on Instagram. The quality and comfort make it worth the investment, and their option to ship later helped us decide to buy two for the duplex without worrying about storage right away.

That photo also shows how the $119 cane-back chairs look from behind, and highlights the side tables we found for $62 each—also eligible for an extra 15% off with TURKEY. The tables are large enough for lamps and everyday use, and they pair nicely with compact decor items like my faux ginkgo branch, which is currently clearance-priced and adds a cheerful touch around the house.

That round marble-top side table between the cane chairs is a favorite—classic, versatile, and available for about $90, with the additional TURKEY discount. It’s the perfect size for tight corners, between chairs, or as a bedside accent. We liked it so much we bought another for the beach house.

The capiz chandelier hanging in our foyer is part of Serena & Lily’s 25% off sale with code BESTDAY, bringing the price down significantly. Serena & Lily sales don’t come around often, so this is a nice opportunity if you’ve been eyeing their lighting or coastal-inspired pieces.

That same Serena & Lily code saves nearly $200 on the outdoor-feel 8 x 10 rug we have in the beach house front room—soft underfoot like a chenille sweater but fully hosed-off friendly for outdoor use. We also grabbed a blue throw that’s currently 20% off; small textiles like that add a big cozy upgrade on a budget.

For the beach house bedrooms, a striped duvet set is 40% off—queen size for around $48—and 400-thread-count sheets we bought are also discounted by 40%, bringing fantastic value for a set that feels luxurious. Even smaller pieces like bedside tables and framed beach photography are on sale, so it’s a good time to refresh a whole room affordably.

At West Elm, the aqua kilim rug in our daughter’s room is on final sale, and the 8 x 10 version is a substantial saving. We’ve lived with ours for years and it’s held up wonderfully against daily wear. West Elm’s task lamps and metallic pillows are also deeply discounted right now, offering budget-friendly ways to update lighting and accents.

Serena & Lily has a few other marked-down items I’m watching for the beach house—tasseled towels and woven baskets that become even more affordable with the BESTDAY code. Target and Wayfair also have standout bargains: Target’s TURKEY code gives large discounts on furniture, and Wayfair’s neutral rug is an unbelievable price for an 8 x 10. Pottery Barn and Rejuvenation have lighting deals worth checking as well.

If you enjoy unique, handmade pieces, Small Business Saturday is a perfect time to support Etsy makers and independent artists. A few favorites we own or covet include original prints, handmade ceramics, leather pulls to elevate IKEA furniture, and one-of-a-kind pillows—items that add personality and become instant conversation pieces.
