I made a major move a few days ago, and I am now a bit consumed by the not-so-fun job of unpacking. As I remove things from boxes, I am beginning to notice a trend. I have purchased most of my favorite chic and unique home decor items at discount stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Home Goods.
Here are a few of those discount store purchases in rooms that are almost complete.
Living Room:
Accent chairs can be so expensive. I found these two super chic leather chairs in TJ Maxx for $79.99. The table at the center is from Marshalls ($19.99) and it is quite reminiscent of a very popular and very expensive style at West Elm.

I need to start visiting the home decor section at these stores! WOW!! You found some great pieces, and you must have a pretty big place! At just 950 SF, I don't need a lot more of furniture, but accent vases and additional paintings would be nice! Thank you for showing us your home!
Lovely! And I loved all of your NYC discount shopping posts too! I am originally from NJ and I swear I would KILL someone for a Loehman's or a Daffy's right about now!
