If you’re thinking about updating your home’s look for holiday gatherings, or just your own enjoyment, World Market (AKA Cost Plus) has a brand new lighting line and a dining chair sale, that I find note-worthy.

Lower-end, big-box retailers like Target and World Market are experts at taking a trend popular at their big brothers, like Anthropology, and creating a less expensive version/knock-off.

Like Anthropology, you purchase the lamp base and shade separately. Lamps, like decorative pillows are a wonderful way to update a room.

I switch out pillows at least a couple of times a year, to reflect the season and trends in design. Buy just the pillow cover when you can, so they take up less space when they’re not being used. I purchase feather/down inserts for decorative pillows. They won’t look “stiff” like the poly filled inserts.

For the dining room, World Market stocks a nice line of dining chairs, currently up to 50% off!

This velvet dining bench, comes in several shades, and is on sale right now, for $374.99! what a deal!
World Market has stocked dining chairs for some time, but I see a couple of nice new styles, including the Chloe Curved Dining Chair, on sale for $199.98.

It’s covered in a “velvet” microfiber, (easy to keep clean), with silver nail head trim. I haven’t seen it in person, but it looks lovely, on-line.
My last favorite is the less expensive Malia Woven Chair…

Well, there you have today’s shopping inspiration! Fun stuff! Be sure to tell the folks at World Market where to send my check for today’s post!
