crave or save: ballard designs olivia mirrored side table

I've seen the UO table pop up on a few of my daily blog reads and I've been thinking about scooping it up - it would be perfect between two side chairs in our living room. Of course, I have yet to actually break down and buy it. Then, while I was flipping through the most recent Ballard Designs catalog I spotted a VERY similar table at twice the price. Besides the mirrored top I do not see any differences. I would pick the cheaper table everyday of the week.

BW and I are so lucky because our house has an amazing outdoor space. Rather than going with the typical outdoor table, umbrella, lawn chairs, yadda, yadda, I wanted to create a second living space with comfy, lounge-y furniture. We finally found pieces we loved - the World Market set below (which we bought on sale!). I've spent the last few weeks trying to find some outdoor pillows to pull the space together. Thanks to Pinterest, I fell in love with the Kelly Wearstler Imperial Trellis fabric and decided I'd order a few yards and whip up some pillows. Until, of course, I noticed that the Kelly Wearstler fabric is $134 a YARD! As someone who thinks $20 is a lot for a yard of fabric I think $134 is absolutely insane. After some searching I found something pretty darn close for $9 a yard. It's from fabric.com and as far as I can tell it's identical. I'm hoping to find a few other patterns and accents to toss into the mix, but the KW inspired fabric is definitely a start.

Then, I found theses puppies on target.com. $25 for TWO pillows! I should just order them call it a day, but these are only 16" and I really want something a little bigger.



To wrap thing up, check out some of these beautiful rooms showcasing the Kelly Wearstler Imperial Trellis pattern. Maybe you'll be inspired to order some of the "save" fabric for yourself! Also, I've pulled together an "inspiration board" for the feel I want to create for the outdoor space. I will be sharing that soon!

crave or save: pottery barn suzani pillow

I been lusting over this PB pillow. Actually TWO of these PB pillows! I pretty much planned my entire living room around it.... and no, I don't own it. I We registered for it, but no luck. (hint, hint) Either way, I've had plenty opportunities to buy it and I still haven't. I just cannot justify spending $80 on a pillow - wait no... pillowCASE. I would still have to buy a pillow insert - no matter how much I love it. For $160 there are just so many more things that we need first (namely, furniture). So, when I stumbled across this one on Etsy I was very pleasantly surprised. Same suzani print, same size, much different price tag.



I do really love the texture of the PB pillow, but is it worth the steep price? What do you think? One of these pillow will definitely be making an appearance on Kendall soon.
