Anthropologie, you are the best for re-design splurges

I love this store, I really do and I admit I have a long list of independent home decor stores that have special lotions, potions and candles galore.  I’m a fan of mixing it up with deluxe finds and budget friendly items (ahem) dollar store gems.  Why not right?  I found myself in curtain rod heaven at our local dollar store, read about it here Decorating on a dollar  I know it almost sounds unfathomable but I’m serious, dollar stores are the bomb!  Ok these days, they’re not really a dollar any longer, more like $4.99, but even still if you compare them to popular chain stores, you’ll be shocked.  It may not be in your most hoighty toithty areas of town, but I mean if you get to save up your monies by thrift diving and then splurging it elsewhere like Anthropologie–I mean enough said.

While traveling for these unique one of a kind artisanal soaps aren’t always practical, just keep it in mind for when you do vacation.  Ditch the shot glass souvenir and really shop local.  You’ll find your house transformed into a home filled with travel memories vs. your big box decor item!
