If you are bored with your current home decor options a quick and affordable fix is to change the little things. Changing your bed sheets in the old boudoir, swapping out the lamp shades, adding a nice rug here and there, are all little things that can totally update or change the mood of a room!

Well for the purpose of this particular post let’s focus on lamp shades. In the past I was always quite stunned at how expensive “Tiffany Lamps” cost, I suppose I was just never familiar with that particular genre but I found a great deal on a Landmark Tiffany Lampshade from HomeAnnex.

The lamp shade is featured above and only costs $36.00!

As for me I tend to prefer styles like this Cream Shantung Lamp Shade from LightingDirect.com!

I like the cream color, plus the scalloped bottom fringe adds a little whimsy to an otherwise basic lamp shade. Funny part is on the LightingDirect.com site it states that the optimal suggested location for this lamp shade is a “kitchen nook”. Which I think is fine and dandy but actually I think the lamp shade is better suited in the bedroom, a study or living room scene. I don’t know what sort of kitchen you have but its a tad too fancy for my kitchen plus things described as “cream” have no buisness on my kitchen counters. Just a thought.

Costs $34.00

The Gold Jacquard Lamp Shade emits a nice golden glow and I can see the golden pattern adorning a variety of homes.

Oh my gosh, again it’s recommended in the store description as a good “kitchen nook” item. Does everyone but me have a super fancy kitchen? I really don’t see this lamp shade in a kitchen.

Gold Jacquard Lamp Shade - Costs  $23.00

Here are some beautiful vases to wet your shopping appetite. I think this Aquamarine Blown Glass Vase is quite stunning! This exquisite blown glass vase is delicately created by Javier and Efrén with traditional glass blowing techniques. It is for this reason that each vase is unique. The aesthetic design of the vase is enhanced by a subtle aquamarine hue, which makes it all the more appealing.

Plus this beauty only costs $32.95

Oh I really like the design of this handblown Murano glass vase dubbed “Mystical”! Blue and black puffs of smoke swirl within the scarlet glass of this mesmerizing vase. The effect is extraordinary and mystical, Murano Artisans of Brazil master the legendary art of hand blown glass creating new and exciting designs. The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.

Bamboo is a beautiful and notoriously strong building material that I have noticed is becoming more and more popular in home decor. Check out the following examples of bamboo in all its wonderful forms!

Kennedy Bamboo Curtains

These natural bamboo grommet-top panels will add a modern look to your window. They also add enough light without compromising your privacy. Hang on decorative rod or pole. These curtains are made of 100% bamboo which also happens to be a natural and completely renewable resource.

I love modern design but even I agree that it can seem cold at times, implementing touches of nature goes a long way in adding warmth and humanity to your otherwise icy decor.

Bamboo Bathtub Caddy with Bookstand and Wine Glass Holder

This beautifully designed caddy also has a place to hang your razor and your loofah, as well as a built-in draining soap dish. It adjusts to fit most tubs, and the bamboo is water resistant, which means this will remain as beautiful as if it were brand new.

I like how they chose to implement this product with a good book and a glass of red wine! Ahhh, makes me want to take a long sudsy bath…

I really enjoyed the movie “Aviator” by Marin Scorsese with Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwen Stefani and a host of other top celebrities! Not only was it well cast and beautifully performed but it is quite an inspirational film in respect to inspiring home decor and fashion. It made me want to hunt for vintage pieces that sparkle with an old fashioned flair and 1950’s glamor.

Consequently when I came across this Howard Miller Propeller Alarm Clock I immediately loved it! I appreciate the antique silver finish and how it features an old fashioned parchment dial with black hands and glass crystal. When you are inspired by a certain theme or era, its just little touches that make all the difference, to overwhelm your home with a particular theme causes the whole feeling to appear costumey and staged.

Whether you choose to hang this propeller clock on the wall or on your night stand it is an eye-catching handsome piece for any home. Plus this little gem does not cost a fortune.

Retails for $29.99 at Overton’s!

What is your garden missing? I think a little tropical recluse is always a lovely touch to any green scene. Nothing soothes my nerves after a long day like the sound of trickling water.

The Stone Hill Tranquility Pond would make a wonderful addition to any garden, small patio, deck, balcony or backyard. Water gently cascades from the top tier to the bottom, the fountain is lightweight, durable and the pump plugs directly into a standard grounded outlet.

Originally the Stone Hill Tranquility Pond costs: $79.99 but is currently on sale for: $71.99! (you save: $8.00 10%)

It is my belief that too often bar stools are very uncomfortable. Usually designed for pure aesthetics, not enough time is dedicated to comfort.

They are usually constructed with metals, hard plastics or woods! The ones with armrests tend to look matronly and something out of a Western movie, conversely the plastic versions look way to modern and resemble tall hybrids of gynecological chairs!

Which is why I must highlight this beautiful and comfortable find, the Juno Swivel Bar Stool with Back from the Home Decorator’s Collection!

It’s the closest bar stool I could find that featured comfort and beauty in design. Reminds me of a tiny couch on a high stool! Which is exactly what I would want to sit on if I were at a bar.

The Juno Swivel Bar Stool is a unique swivel stool that features solid wood framing, supportive padding and microfiber filling. Available in a wealth of colors to match any home decor schematic.

Juno Swivel Bar Stool (w/ back featured above) - $169.00
