SHOPPING LIST // WAYFAIR

Settee // Console // Side Table // Chair // Area Rug // Pillow // Beaded Accent // Mirror

Wayfair has been put to the test this Mother’s Day and they passed beautifully. Searching the entire website and making selections of pieces that I would use in my own home or future projects. All if the selections were added to The Steps Furniture Pin Board . One collection that I really thought that had some beautiful neutral pieces that you can build a room of of was Kelly Clarkson’s Home line. The prices are great and they appear to be very pretty pieces, we have not seen any of the pieces in person. Check our Furniture Space Planning Cheatsheets to help plan your living room and also the Living Spaces section, which we just started working on that will have many great features to come. Read More…
