Vamp Up Your Home for Less

I recently made a trip to my local Marshalls and was shocked to find some seriously amazing deals!  There were Kenneth Cole bags for a fraction of the price, Betsey Johnson tights in lace and bold fall colors that didn't break the bank, and deals left and right that had me filling my cart to the brim.  Lately, though I have been focusing my shopping habit on things centered around the home, specifically the kitchen.  In these days with people eating out less and staying in more, there is a larger desire to make one's home more inviting and personable.  So while I was perusing Marshalls' home department I was delighted to find great bargains that not only look chic but are at half or less than what I would have originally paid in department stores.  I was able to get a set of four placemats that go with my decidedly monochromatic dishes, a gorgeous French press, stemless wine glasses, cranberry walnut granola, Kona coffee, mixed peppercorns, and tuberose & peppercorn hand cream all for under $55!  A definite steal in my eyes.  So if you're looking to add a few key pieces to your house but don't have the means to stock up at Williams Sonoma, head over to your nearest Marshalls and have your pad looking like a million bucks!
