World Market Surprise!

Have you been to World Market lately?  I hadn't either.  But, I went in there the other day looking for pre-made drapes for a current project.  What started as a quick strip, turned into a full blown shopping extravaganza and idea explosion.  I was amazed with the prices and quality of the furniture and home decor items that are available.  Terrific mix and match items for your kitchen or dining room.  The best part is if you get on the e-mail list they will let you know when the friends and family sale is and you can get the employee discount plus any sale prices (during a limited time).  That is HUGE when you are buying furniture!  This is one of my new favorite shops!!  Check out some of the finds there:

Cool French inspired table with galvanized metal legs - mix with gray wicker chairs or bistro chairs.

Tons of different fabrics available in these dining room side chairs.  The size is appropriate for any small space you'd like a cozy chair - like a guest bedroom.

This bench would look great in your eating area - gives a banquet feel to your breakfast nook.  Under $400.  Fab.  Pair it with the table below for a really high end look for cheap!

This folding screen/room divider was wonderful - but I hate the color.  It was cheap enough to add a coat of spray paint in a wow color like yellow or turquoise and make a real statement. 

Call me Brick Tamland from "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy," but "I love lamp."

 I just thought this lamp made of wood was the coolest thing ever.  I would probably not leave it wood tone - but paint it out in a fresh white, gray or a "wow" color.  It looks squished like a cartoon character! 

This picture is a little blurry because I was so excited.  I recently blogged about burlap and this light fixture was a 3-in-1 deal.  All three pendants have burlap shades.  They are in different sizes and all hang from one fixture plate.  So mod it made me freak out a little.

Go to World Market (CostPlus) and it will surprise you, too!  I promise.
