Pouf! A Bedroom Solution

I’ve always loved the idea of a bench at the foot of our bed, and keep my eyes peeled for one at all times while perusing the shops.

They are hard to find! I guess people tend to hang on to their benches.

Granted, I haven’t been overly serious about finding one and am only willing to pay Goodwill prices, so that narrows down my possibility of snagging the perfect bench, I guess.

Would scream if I found something like this in the shops.

During my latest Goodwill trip, my eyes fell upon two seagrass poufs. I almost passed them up, because I truly have enough furniture in my living room and loft, and couldn’t immediately think of a place for them.

I stood thinking over it for a while before moving on, though, because I knew those things were expensive and I could snag them for $20 each — a steal.

Then, I realized — I could put these at the foot of my bed in lieu of a bench! I hadn’t really seen this before, but a quick Google search confirmed that it’s a thing:

I’m pretty sure these are the poufs. I was right about the original price!

The floral pillows are from Goodwill too!

The thrifterverse provides yet again. I’m so pleased with this purchase.

Do you think the poufs work here? Or would they be better suited in a different setting?

With the weather cooling down in FL, I drove past several garage sales while out running errands over the weekend. Here’s what I found:

A basket as big as my baby and the sunglasses she’s wearing (she picked them out) — the basket was only $10!

Things I left at Goodwill:

This rattan napkin holder. Would be good for parties, but I already have several little basket caddies that I use for napkins and party flatware, so I left this for a fellow thrifter to find.

Look at the prices on these Tory Burch espadrilles! I didn’t leave these by choice – they were both too small for me. 🥲

These lime green sunglasses that Elaine looked FAB in.

I also attended a holiday home tour event in an historic district of West Palm Beach over the weekend, which was a blast and also inspiring.

I loved seeing how people have cared for and upgraded their old homes — my community has such great taste!

Me, my mom, and our friend Jill at the holiday home tours event.

My favorite shop keeper, Inge, from the absolute best vintage and handmade shop, Stone Button Studio, was part of the event’s holiday market, so I grabbed a few of her treasures — I can never resist!
