Right here’s the reality: regardless of being EHD’s resident over-sharer, I’ve kiiiiinda been holding out on you over the previous couple of years. Gatekeeping, if you’ll. I KNOW. It’s legal! My job is actually to spill the beans on the perfect house decor sources – and I do attempt! – however because it seems, there are a couple of (or, uh, various) thrift shops, classic distributors, and on-line retailers that I’ve selfishly saved to myself for a little bit too lengthy…
Till proper now. That’s proper, of us: welcome to the first-ever version of Secret Supply, through which I spotlight one in all my favourite budget-friendly retailers. (Learn: My condominium is lastly beginning to really feel “achieved” – no matter which means – and I’m now not anxious about competing with tens of millions of readers for cute and inexpensive house items. SO…IT’S SHARING TIME. Let’s promote some stuff out!)
As we speak, I’m taking you throughout the pond and introducing you to my tried-and-true vacation spot for cheerful items, whimsical decor, luxe bedding, and a lot extra. (Europeans, be warned: you could already know this one!) Should you love the Anthropologie aesthetic however discover that your model and your pockets aren’t all the time in settlement (uh, hello, SAME), this one is for you! I hereby current Oliver Bonas, a UK-based high-street store that sells some VERY cute homeware. Wanna take a fast peek at a few of their EHD-approved stock?
OK, CUTE. These massive cushion covers are the right means so as to add a vibrant pop of coloration to your area, however they’re additionally a straightforward method to check out the perimeter development with out splurging on a brand new piece of furnishings. (They’re additionally an incredible various should you love this look, however can’t justify spending $125 on a single pillow.) I grabbed a pair in inexperienced and pink for my bed room (my go-to colours, shocker!) however you possibly can nonetheless nab them in navy and inexperienced, lavender and rust, ink and coral, and pink and wine purple.
These embroidered cotton placemats are 100% cotton – what a rating for the worth, proper? – they usually’ll carry a extremely charming English cottage sensibility to your kitchen or dinner desk. To complete the look, complement with matching mustard fabric napkins (or these complementary blush napkins, pictured above!).
Should you advised me you spent $200 on these coasters at a retailer like Nickey Kehoe or Jayson Dwelling, I’d completely consider you. The striped marble is so elevated and polished – it’s a design-forward piece at an accessible value. (PS. These would make an incredible reward in your decor-loving buddy!)
The print! The tassel! The contrasting lining! This ring field looks like it will be proper at house in Matilda Goad’s lounge, don’t you assume? I really like small bins like this for purposeful styling – it will look stylish as a standalone piece on a dresser, but it surely’d additionally look so fairly perched atop a stack of books.
This one was a extremely whole lot (…and I additionally purchased one a couple of months in the past). Bobbin frames are usually fairly costly – the comparable variations on Anthro are over $75, and it prices about $40 to DIY one thing related – so discovering a high-quality model (simply wooden, brass, and glass!) that may both be held on a wall or displayed on a flat floor for under $36 is a complete win. That inexperienced is such an ideal vibrant pop of coloration, too – it feels very Luke Edward Corridor.
AHH. A lot attraction. These vintage-inspired salt & pepper shakers are a contemporary interpretation of a traditional canine motif. They’d carry a ton of cheer and whimsy to any kitchen or eating room, don’t you assume?
I do know it’s fall, however don’t these have you ever dreaming of a spring feast? (Actually, they might even be actually fairly at Christmas should you leaned into {that a} candy and traditional purple, inexperienced, and pink coloration palette.) There’s one thing concerning the beading that makes them really feel a little bit extra particular and private than a conventional serviette ring and I actually can’t consider you could at present seize a pair for below $10.
…or, should you’re a giant ol’ freak and bugs are extra your model (responsible as charged!!!), you can not go mistaken with these playful beaded insect rings. Do I personal fabric napkins? No. However did I purchase these with the information that at some point, I will personal fabric napkins? I SURE DID.
It’s not all whimsy, although – there are some actually easy, lovely, heirloom-quality items accessible at Oliver Bonas, too. Living proof: this marble and chrome steel pepper mill which weighs a ton (in a constructive means – it feels nice to make use of) and works like a attraction.
I’ve been serious about these traditional jewellery bins since recognizing one within the bed room refresh Sara did for her mother and father – the combination of glass and brass is simply so timeless. Plus, the dried flowers listed here are such a extremely candy contact. (If bins aren’t actually your factor, it additionally is available in a tray type!)
ADDED TO CART. Personal it, find it irresistible. And this velvet body is simply the tip of the iceberg – they inventory SO MANY cute choices. (I really like this one with brass inlay stars, too.) For the report, we’re between seasons proper now and fall collections ought to be dropping on the location any day now – I can’t wait to see what the brand new body choices seem like!
Should you love the look of classic brass however don’t have the time (or need) to spend a morning digging by piles of stuff on the flea market, this trinket dish is for you. Nobody can inform me that this wouldn’t price no less than $80 at Anthropologie. (PS. The strawberry and butterfly jewellery stands are additionally nonetheless accessible should you’re !)
LOVE. Is there something higher than a vessel that may do double responsibility? After this candle burns out, use the candy ceramic strawberry to stash cash, ticket stubs, jewellery, sweet…I imply, the world’s your oyster. (Should you desire a brilliant and citrusy scent, the lemon model is a bit bigger and smells DIVINE.)
Seize the small one for $27, the medium for $43, the massive for $47.50, or a set of all three (you recognize, simply in case you’re additionally hoping to have a moody photoshoot of well-lit bins in your individual house). They’re actually jewel-toned jewellery bins, guys. Genius.
It’s my go-to reward! (Is anybody stunned?) Should you’re at a complete loss as to what to reward somebody – a coworker, an acquaintance, a hard-to-shop-for buddy, maybe? – you possibly can’t go mistaken with a enjoyable beverage (beer is nice, however native bottled sodas are additionally an incredible alternative in the event that they get pleasure from sugary drinks!) and a sensible device like this bottle opener. It’s a little bit extra thrilling than the standard-issue black and metal model, don’t you assume?
Be sincere: are there too many beetles within the submit? (To be honest, they’re undoubtedly having a second proper now. I imply…bear in mind the beetle-print toilet tile we featured? SO GOOD. There are some newly launched initiatives which have included related entomological themes – I’ll drop some within the feedback for us to debate later.) ANYWAY. Would I fortunately settle for something to me if it got in a captivating little beaded and embroidered bug field? DUH.
Ultimate one, and I’m type of dishonest….as a result of would these make an excellent cute reward? Sure. However would in addition they make an incredible, inexpensive DIY venture? BIG YES. That’s what I really like a lot about Oliver Bonas – I’m persistently impressed by their styled pictures and their stock, even once I’m not seeking to make a purchase order. It’s an actual deal with once I can discover an aspirational piece at a pleasant value (working example: these fringed pillows I discussed up high!), but it surely’s simply as particular to search out concepts for initiatives and merchandise that I can deal with by myself, too.
A phrase of warning, earlier than I depart you: transport to America will be fast, however the web site warns that it could possibly additionally take an eternity (as much as 6 weeks for sure items – I haven’t skilled that lengthy of a delay, however I simply wish to ensure you’re conscious). I feel the wait is price it – the standard:value ratio is nice, so I wouldn’t thoughts an extra-long transport window for any of my future purchases – but it surely’s one thing to bear in mind, particularly while you’re buying items that should be delivered by a sure time.
However with all that mentioned…WHAT DO YOU THINK? How will we price our first-ever Secret Supply? WHAT SAY YOU?? See you within the feedback… xx
