It's Not Easy Being Green... Or Is It?

With spring in full swing and summer on its way in, green is everywhere you turn. Just like the fresh flowers and fresh cut grass that lift your spirit when you see them, bright green accent pieces in a room elevate the mood and add a sense of fun.

Green accent pieces don't have to cost you a lot of green (pun intended!). Today I ventured into one of my favorite stores, Cost Plus World Market, to see what kind of deals they had for me. This place is my go-to for unique pieces at a decent price. The quality tops that of other discount retailers, too. Always a bonus!

Check out the goods. Lots of green without spending it!

Accent #1 – Green storage cube with reversible dinner tray, $89.99 on sale. I love this in front of a living room couch, or as a small side table. Group 2 or more together for a mock coffee table that you can move around as needed. For small spaces, these storage cubes are the perfect multi-purpose purchase.

Accent #2 – Super cute armless chair in floral print, $159.99 on sale. If you have larger pieces of furniture that are neutral, try jazzing up your space with a chair like this. This floral would also pair well with stripes or plaids… if you're ready to be bold!

Accent #3 – The same armless chair in a lovely, plush green apple velvet, $159.99 on sale. The fabric is to die for! Talk about luxury without the luxury price. So chic. Put a pair of these chairs in a room, add a bright, multi-colored pillow and rock out!

Spring green is in, and the pieces above are proof positive you don't have to spend a fortune to add a splash of it to your home décor. If you're not looking to purchase new furniture but love the color, try infusing it into your tablescape with napkins, salt and pepper shakers, or a vase. Check out the limitless options at www.worldmarket.com. And ladies… as a side note, their jewelry is ridiculously awesome. FYI.

Till next time… keep it fabliss!

  1. Oh my goodness, you totally beat me to the World Market post -- except mine (to come, need to go back with a camera other than my phone this time!) will be about their fantastic and cheap jewelry!! LOVE that green print chair, so cute.

  2. Be careful with the camera! The Buckhead store staff stalked me like I was going to steal!
