A couple weeks ago we received our Jonathan Adler Spring catalog in the mail and let me just say, there may or may not have been some drool stains on it by the time we got to the end. Goody for us AND for you, that JA is having a mega Memorial Day Sale (including current markdowns!) so all those super fab finds we fell in love with are now 20% off. Now, we know that JA is the opposite of a bargain. But his innovative and creative designs are worth the price. Here are some of our favorites:

Vapor Printed Pillows--Inspired by Art Deco airbrushing, these velvet pillows are made for mixing and matching.

Kiki Cabinet--Usher in a new era of chic storage with this brass and lacquer cabinet. Topped with ivory painted glass and featuring velvet lined adjustable shelves to store all of your treasures. 

Torino Vases--Classic shapes and moody colors, these vases make a statement whether they stand alone, hold your favorite stems or clustered together in a display. 

Create an instant mantle display with three of our favorite JA pieces. 
Pompidou Vase--sexy curves in bold colors
Ripple Lacquer Boxes--stacked for maximum impact
Pompidou Acrylic Candle Holder--definitely not your mother's candelabra

​Riviera Tuffet--For those hundreds of times you need an extra seat at the table, this rattan stool is cushioned with a plushy mushroom boucle.

Paradox Vases--clean, white and anything but boring these ceramic vases add just the right element of texture and shape to your mantle or bookshelf.

Miami Pendant--This hip brass cage pendant nods back to the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach with its muted colored squares. 

Prisma Table Lamp--This crackle acrylic lamp makes a bold statement with its saturation of color and super sized pyramid shape. The desk chair, is pretty bad ass too. 
I mean, we could go on. But part of the fun with so much amazing merchandise is discovering what's just on the next page. Memorial Day promotion runs May 24-31. Use code SUMMER for 20% off sitewide.

How convenient that all of our favorite retailers are having their Friends & Family Events this time of year. Last week we shared our picks from the Serena & Lily Event (which runs through 10/14). It's the perfect time to spruce up your home for fall OR to start checking things off the Christmas lists. 
The World Market Friends & Family Event starts today for Members, tomorrow for everyone else. (But you really should be a member, it's free and you get loads of coupons.) 30% off PLUS Free Shipping online if you spend more than $75. And here's a bonus, everything in our picks is under $60! 

1. Multi-colored Felt Garland. These are perfect for decorating a tree, adding to a bowl on the coffee table, draping over a picture frame, adorning a lampshade, you get the idea. 
2. Emerald Green Ceramic Peacocks. I don't know why, but these remind me of trinkets that my grandma might have had. Comes in a cute bedside table vase or bathroom trinket dish.
3. Finlay Dot Sculpted Towels. You might remember these from that amazing bathroom reno we did earlier this year. Still one of our favorite towel sets. 
4. Art Deco Fan Ceramic Coaster Set. We love the idea of a Great Gatsby-esque bar cart and these chic coasters add the perfect touch. 
5. Velvet Throw Pillows. The best thing about these pillows is not the amazing color selection, or the plushy velvet, it is the price point. $9.99 y'all!!! Before your 30% off! Gimme three of each!
6. Faux Eucalyptus Wreath. Sometimes Fall + Wreath = A Hot Mess. Which is why we like the simplicity and elegance of this door wreath. It doesn't have to be ALL pumpkins. 
7. Brushed Gold Planter with Stand. You know those pots of mums you bought last weekend? Pop those babies in two of these planters on your front porch and wait for the neighbors to ooh and aah. 
8. Multicolor Watercolor Foliage Napkin Set. Swap out your bright summer napkins for these muted earth toned watercolored ones. So many rich colors, they will go with just about any dinnerware you own.
9.Ivory Moroccan Wedding Blanket Throw. Unlike those snuggies  that you hide in a basket when company comes over, you'll be proud to toss this handcrafted throw on any sofa and leave it there!
10. Shanghai Rice Bowl Set. They may be meant to be used for rice, but we can think of a dozen uses for these brightly colored bowls. Soapdish, trinket dish, serving dips or olives. Trust me, you can never have enough cute bowls. 
11. Multicolor Patchwork Cadence Pillow. I mean, doesn't this pillow scream Fall? Pumpkin and cranberry and eggplant! So love. 
12. Painted Square Hooks Set. Raise your hand if you've ever walked down a hall or opened a door or stepped in to a closet and thought, "Gee, I could sure use a hook there." 
13. Evil Eye Coir Doormat. Not that we are superstitious or anything, but I mean, it couldn't hurt to ward off any evil from entering your home.  Right?

Some of our favorite pieces that we've used in projects over the last year are at great Labor Day deals. If you've always wanted to get "that look", now you can for less! Click on the image to go right to the retailer page.

Taking down all the holiday decorations is usually a bit daunting. And I don't know about you, but my house naked after being dolled up in all the bright and shiny decor that's been up for the last month or so. Believe it or not, the first of the early spring merchandise is just hitting stores. Yes, I know, it's barely winter. But, when the weather can be expected to be dreary and cold for at least the next 2 months, you need SOMETHING colorful and happy to make you smile when you walk in the door! As you've surely figured out, Anthropologie is usually one of our first "go to" sites to see what's new for the season. And luckily, there's stuff already on sale. Who says Merry and Bright has to end in December?

1. Paule Marrot Butterfly Platter
2. Paule Marrot Embroidered Posies Pillow
3. The Object Enthusiast Vase
4. Garden Greeting Pot
5. Sunset Vases
6. Embellished Nishi Pillow

Also, if you are looking for a bargain, (and who isn't at Anthropologie), save an extra 40% on everything in their Winter Tag Sale.  Ok, now go shop!

Wayfair is one of our most favorite sources for pretty much every category. We have yet to be disappointed in the quality or style of anything we bought there, and with free shipping you just can't go wrong. Their Labor Day Sale which lasts through Monday features up to 70% off in categories like Outdoor Furniture, Bedroom Furniture, Lighting, Storage..... well, you get the idea. But how? You say. Will I ever find the right thing for me with thousands of items on sale? Oh friends, that is what you have us for! And we won't tell if you all go buy the same thing. 

By now you know that we are huge fans of colorful rugs. How gorgeous is this runner? Brighten up a dreary hallway or put in front of the sink in the kitchen. Other sizes also available.

You may have seen an Instagram post Shauna did earlier this week with some chairs she had reupholstered in a fabulous bird fabric. When you find a chair at 53% off you can afford to replace the upholstery. Even though we think this sky blue is pretty fab.

You know that when you live in Texas, outdoor living season STARTS in September. Now's the perfect time to furnish your patio. Start with this adorable 3 piece set. 
Klaus 3 Piece Conversation Set

The best time to buy new sheets is NOT when you need them. It's when you find 1000 thread count sheets for under $100 a set. 
Italian Hotel 1000 TC Sheet Set

Benches are second only to stools in how versatile they are in your home. Put at the foot of the bed, or in front of the fireplace or as a seat at the table. Maybe you should get more than one. 
Seapine Upholstered Bench

This adorable starburst wall decor set fits right in to that space next to that thing that you don't know what to put there. Click. Done.

We have chairs similar to this in our office around the conference table and they are super comfy and easy to clean when someone spills ranch dressing on them at lunch. Sold 2 to a set, they come in 8 different colors so go crazy with those color pops in your dining room!

Can you believe it's already time to start thinking about Back to School? If you have a new college kid, know that even with our cool closet hacks, all of their stuff will not fit in the closet. Or in the drawers. If they are anything like my kid, half the stuff they take to school they will never wear but good luck convincing them not to take all 37 pairs of shoes. We've put together some of our favorite dorm room hacks as well as dorm essentials that will make your student's life a bit easier, and maybe even more organized.

Modular, stackable drawers can be configured in multiple ways and are easier to move in and out than one big unit. When roomie keeps the lights on until the wee hours, a sleep mask with earplugs will be a lifesaver. There are a thousand laundry hampers out there but we've found that one that can both store AND transport laundry is the most convenient. Speaking of too many shoes, this over the door shoe storage bag holds more shoes than any we've found. And it's way better than the pocket style in accommodating larger shoes. Shower totes are also a dime a dozen but the multiple compartments and nylon mesh construction make this our fave. Lastly, slim flocked hangers will allow for maximum capacity in your closet. 

Beds that can be popped up on risers give you an amazing amount of storage underneath. To keep things looking neat, install a tension bar between the legs of the bed frame and hang short cafe curtains to cover up the storage bins, chest of drawers or fridge. 

Decorating the walls can be tricky without the use of nails. Command strips will be your best friend, regardless of what you hang, but you can have some fun with these ideas. Hanging a tapestry not only covers a large portion of ugly dorm room walls it can also be hung behind the bed as a mock headboard. 

Fancy string light photo holders like this one can be pricey. DIY your own with a strand of indoor lights and binder clips or mini clothes pins. Paint with metallic spray paint and you have the same idea for half the price. 

If you haven't heard of Washi Tape, don't feel bad. I hadn't either. Super dorm wall friendly, it sticks and peels easily and comes in a thousand colors and patterns. Use to frame photos, posters or create your very own art installation. 

Did I mention that the closets are small? This little double hanging rod gadget saved our lives and meant that I didn't have to take half of my daughter's clothes back home with me. 

So, good luck with move-in. Congrats on your little bird leaving the nest. It's amazing to watch them fly.
