Huge Sales for the Home all Over!
I've gotten a few emails lately about some really huge sales going on right now. Figured I'd let you know about them!
*Crate and Barrel just put tons of things that were already on sale on even further clearance.
*Today is the last day Macy's is having a home goods sale. The more you spend the more you save.
*Bath and Body Works is having their sale on Soap and Anti-bacterial products as well as a sale on Wallflowers. Plus if you shop online orders of $40 or more will ship for $1.
*Pottery Barn is having a sale on bedding right now,
*Layla Grace is having a Wedding Boutique sale right now. Enter the code WEDDING2010 and you'll get 15% off the items. Secret though, a lot of these products aren't necessarily that "wedding" themed. There's furniture, kitchen stuff, and more.

Spring Cleaning means buying more stuff!!
Before I start, I just want to say wow! Only a few days into officially becoming public and YBM already has 5 followers, almost 300 hits, and two comments! I know that seems like a small start in comparison to other hugely popular blogs, but considering my previous attempts at the Blogosphere, this is a really big deal for me. So I just want to thank all of you who are checking me out, those who plan to stick with me through this journey, and those who have promoted YBM around. I really appreciate it!
Also, I have some questions for those more experienced. Specifically, can someone who is not logged into Blogger test out the comments section? I want to make sure other people can leave comments. And does anyone know how to make it so I am either notified via email when people leave comments, or I have a notification on my dashboard (without having to subscribe to every single post). Thanks!!

I don't know about you, but when Spring comes around the icy parts of my wallet melt and I have the strong desire to run out and go shopping. I want Spring and summer clothes and bright happy things for my apartment. But we're in a recession here, and I have no money because I make no money, so this is probably not the best idea for me right now. This is a total shame because our apartment really isn't season friendly. Sometimes (just to brighten the mood, or make things feel new) the best thing you can do to give your home a mini facelift is just change around the accents. Swap out the throw pillows, lamp shades, dish towels, switch plates and any other little details you think look too drab for the Spring.
Perfect example (that was super easy and I spent NO money): Fall is by far my favorite season, and I love, so am absolutely obsessed with, Christmas. All of our candles are named things like "Pumpkin Pie," "Fireplace," "Evergreen tree," etc. For my birthday I got a candle from Noelle that smells like a tropical beach, and I told her it reminded me of California (we're moving there in August which I'm sure will bring a whole host of moving related entries!) so now I have it out. Realizing that my "Fresh Leaves" or dark green candles didn't really match it, I switched them out for brighter colored ones and ones that smelled more beachy. The instant scent transformation already makes the place seem brighter and lighter.
Now, that's not as good as being able to buy brand new throw pillows. But if I could go shopping, here's some really cute things that capture the spirit of spring that I might buy for our home:
Crate and Barrel:
William Sonoma:
$39.00-62.00
Pier 1:
$2.95
Usually I don't like fake flowers (ones that look real are very hard to find, and it looks cheap to me). But, for those of you who do like them, I thought these were very cute. And there were some white hydrangeas (which are one of my favorite flowers) too. These are $5.00 each.
Pottery Barn:
$9 for a set of 3
Eggs - $14
$7.99
Target:
$19.99
Bed Bath and Beyond:
$5.99-12.99
There is a whole line of products with this pattern (including bath linens and glassware). This placemat is $6.99.
Anthropologie:
$14.95
$2.95
Urban Outfitters:
Online only - $4.99

Bedding Sale at Pottery Barn!
Bedding is probably one of the most expensive accessories you buy for your home (besides furniture). When you shop around enough for it, you start to realize what a rip-off it is. On one hand, if you buy pieces separately you can get just the right pillow case to match your duvet cover and your bedding is more personalized and you can show off your ablity to play with color and texture, but you spend a fortune. And if you buy bedding in a bag, you're stuck with whatever pieces they gave you (and you don't always save as much as you think).
I am really picky about sheets, so I shop around A LOT. I've come to the conclusion that in this case it's good to be picky (you find the best deals). Too often a couple goes to a department store and buys the first thing they can both agree on. You're so frustrated with each other that you just want to get out of the store as soon as possible and you forget that you don't want to spend more than $150 on everything for the sake of preventing WWIII. Then when you get home, it's not exactly perfect. Repeat.
Seriously ladies, my father has not picked out a single thing in my parent's home ever and he's perfectly fine with it. Nick recognizes that I am the style maven of the house, so he generally trusts my decisions. Your husband does not need to be there, bring a friend or your mom instead. Or if you really must include him, browse online, find a few things you like and be targeted in your search when you get to the mall so that you don't drive him completely nuts and frustrate yourself over something that really should be more fun (ie. teasing each other about all the things you can do with those sheets, wink wink, nudge nudge).
Anyways, getting back to the real point of this entry. Pottery Barn is having a sale! I quickly browsed quite a few other websites and Pottery Barn's sale is really good as far as prices go. Most of their styles are along the Country Farmhouse/1950s style. I have mixed feelings about this style. Chabby Chic has been in for the last what...10 years? But I think that overdoing your whole bedroom in this style is a little much. You end up either feeling like you are in a time warp or find your sense of style turning into the dreaded "mom who wears mom jeans" point of view. What's better is to mix and match to give your bedroom a modern yet classic feel. We'll get to that entry eventually, but for now this is just about the sale.
I really like this set because it has a mix of textures (which I absolutely love in all forms, clothes, paintings, bedding, etc.) and is perfect for mixing styles as I said earlier:
I also like this set because while it is a floral pattern (that has been overdone to death), it has a little bit more of an oriental flair to it. It's an update on two old classics. With some solid sheets, dark wood, and bright yellow and pink accessories (like a vase or lampshade) it could really liven up a dark room.
Click me for the rest!
