The Look For Less: Classic Home Finds

August 29, 2024 · In: Home, Lifestyle

If you’ve been here a while you may know that last year my husband and I bought our first home! It’s been quite the journey of making this builder-grade home our own – it’s taken a lot of time and money. That being said, we’ve definitely done our best to save money where we can; painting ourselves, replacing fixtures ourselves, and finding great dupes for items that have caught our eye. Today I wanted to share some of these look for less finds with you all!

I’ve curated so many of these over the past few months and honestly it has become one of my favorite hobbies! So I hope a few of these finds can potentially help you refresh your home. Be sure to share this with a friend who may find it helpful as well!

Bamboo Detailed Mirror

I saw this Serena & Lily mirror and fell in love with it for our guest bathroom refurb! What I didn’t love was the price… One day I was walking through Lowe’s and saw essentially the same thing for a fraction of the price! I bought it right away and am so satisfied with it.

$85 Option // $498 Option

Spindle Chair

I was looking for some accent chairs for our living space and I loved the look of these spindle chairs, but couldn’t fathom the price point. After some searching I found this one for a fraction of the price. I’ve now had them for quite a few months and I love them and would highly recommend!

$260 Option // $2,998 Option

Cordless Table Lamps

These cordless table lamps have been everywhere the past few months! The original version I saw last summer sometime, but thankfully shortly after I started seeing dupes. I personally got mine at HomeGoods for under $20 each, but Amazon has some great options as well! These are perfect for hosting, for rooms you may lack power outlets, for dorm rooms, and so much more. They have so many colors, too!

$20 Option // $159 Option

Jute Rug

Jute rugs are so cute and chic in my opinion. Considering I have a cat, I’m not sure if I’d ever get one myself but I certainly want one. This floral design one is so classic and adds some interest to an otherwise plain rug. Walmart has recently come out with their own version, which comes in tons of sizes for an amazing price.

$19.98 Option // $85 Option

Scalloped Detail Lamp

It can be so hard to find a cute lamp that is perfect for your space. This one I’ve had my eye on for a while – I love the shape of it and the scalloped shade! However, the price I just can’t see being worth it. Thankfully I recently found this one that is super similar and the price is a bit easier to swallow!

$69 Option // $298 Option

Rattan Placemats

Placemats can be so expensive, and if you’re like me and end up posting large groups the price can add up! These rattan placemats are so classic but pricey. These ones offer a similar look for only a few dollars each!

$5.99 Option // $138 Option

Rattan Ottoman

Ottomans are so useful around the home. They can serve as both decor and functional pieces! I love this rattan one, it can go with just about anything, but it is a bit pricey. I found a great dupe for less than half of the price, so it’s definitely worth checking out!

$193 Option // $498 Option

Scalloped Rattan Baskets

Function and cute home decor is definitely the key to an organized and put together space! If you can’t tell, I love a scallop and a rattan piece – these baskets are a match made in heaven. These name brand ones are pricey and sold separately. Or you can get this duo on Amazon for one price!

$89 Option // $298 Option

Scalloped Rattan Lamp

Another great lamp option to get the look for less! These ones are incredibly chic but I’m not sure if it’s worth almost $300. You can get a set of two of these more affordable lamps for around $100.

$50 Option // $298 Option

Gold Pendant Lighting

When we moved we knew our builder-grade lighting in our kitchen had to go! I wanted something like these chic gold pendant lights. What I’ve learned over the past year or so is that there are so many dupes for lighting out there! We got these ones from Amazon, have had them up for over a year and have no complaints!

$79 Option // $648 Option

I hope you all enjoyed this post with some Look for Less options for your home! Be sure to follow me on the LTK app to see what I’m shopping and other home recommendations.

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫
*as a Disney annual passholder*
(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
