Picture this...

I'd like to introduce you to a website called AllPosters.com. I think the name is deceiving because they don't only sell posters. They have one of the most comprehensive collections of fine art, decorative art, modern pieces and yes, even movie style and vintage posters. (I can see them gracing a media room wall already...) The interesting thing is that most pieces can be purchased several different ways: unframed, framed and matted, printed on canvas and even made into tapestries.

Go to their Featured Categories section on the home page and then look at the On Sale tab. You'll be blown away at the prices. If you have an eye for finding beautiful but inexpensive frames (like Michael's 40% off frame sale going on now) then you can end up with a fabulous piece to give your room a lift, for pennies on the dollar.

The poster shown here is by an artist named Justin Bua - just one of the thousands of unique pieces you can find.
Good luck and happy shopping!

Furniture Show Samples

Not just your typical consignment store, the Home Consignment Center (at the shops at Bee Caves and also now at Arbor Walk) has both new and consigned pieces.

This week they just picked up samples from the High Point North Carolina furniture show. They have a wide selection of items which they'll be unpacking and putting on the sales floor all week.

Items include:

- copper and marble top sinks, vanities, consoles and islands

- large solid wood bookcases

- leather (all colors) sofas, loveseats, sectionals, chairs and ottomans

- boxes full of all manner of accessories

It's also a great place to find that special piece that you need to complete a room but can't find in the typical big box furniture stores.

If you've never stopped in, this is the perfect week to drop by...a hidden treasure for sure.

Good luck and happy shopping!
