Is it just me, or does everyone look for areas around their house they can spruce up at the beginning of the year?  I’m not sure if it’s the fresh start of a new year or the cleaning up of all of the Christmas decorations that does it.  Regardless, here is a roundup of 5 affordable home finds I’m loving right now.

  1. Cordless Lamps! I love these little lamps and without the cord, you can truly put them anywhere.  I’ve liked having one in a little desk nook in my kitchen for some warmer light.  And it doesn’t take up any of my valuable kitchen outlets!
  2. I recently went to a baby shower where this tablecloth was on the table and I had to know where it came from. My friend, who has great taste, told me it was from Amazon and I was so surprised!  What a great thing to have on hand for entertaining, this would also make a great gift!  Check out the other colors and patterns, as well!
  3. Faux olive trees like this one are some of my favorite faux plants to use when decorating. I like the shape, the color, and the texture of this specific plant.  If you want a little more drama, add one of these up-lights!
  4. I’m loving plaid right now, and this rug hits just right. The colors are great, the plaid isn’t too chaotic, and it is an indoor/outdoor rug making it a great indoor door mat or runner for a kitchen or bath.

5.  These drapes are just what I’ve been looking for in my Master Bedroom!  They provide great texture, a light color that will add softness to the room, but still features the pinch pleat that will give it a good shape.  The price on these is just right so the rest of the décor in your room can really shine.
