Simple fix: The disposal

Hello there! Thanks so much for all the love on the <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2014/09/13-planked-wall-finished-fireplace.html">finished fireplace</a>, I appreciate it more than you know! We’re so happy with how it turned out and I hope it inspires you someway in your home. As you know, I like to do things myself if I can. I have mixed emotions when I have to call someone to fix something for me – if it’s something stupid and little I’m annoyed. If it’s a biggie I’m totally cool with it. ;) This past weekend we had a stupid little something and I was determined to get it fixed myself. Long story short we got lots of little bits of stuff that shouldn’t be down a drain…down our drain. It involved an obnoxious cat. It always involves an obnoxious cat. Not knowing the little bits were down the drain, I turned on the disposal and the “rarrarrarrarrar” of death started up. Actually it’s more of a “grrrrrrr” when it’s not working. If you know what I mean by “long time listener first time caller” right now than you are my favorite person. If you don’t look up “Mr. Obvious, the critter” for a laugh. OK, back to the post. The little bits had gone down the disposal and it was stuck. There’s a few things you can do to fix this situation on your own. First things first, turn the disposal off at the breaker box. If something gets stuck in the actual sink part you can usually get it out of there on your own. I’ve used the handle of a wooden spoon and kind of swirled it around in there and then you can put on rubber gloves and reach in and grab it if you get it loose. Or if it’s tons of little things like glass you can put your wet vac hose down in the sink and try to pull them up that way. If it’s gone down into the disposal like ours did than you need to move to the next option. The bottom of your disposal will look like this: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8nVAUMeClM_5HsIHXX8iJsTh5nBqElFc6_phGDLZwQayFrESwubClmGbewR5rytOHMS1634Etj6VPWjvw9VR7AX98r3rc_N_5SoWDFAeU4keqe9jwc-fR7m8fQAZaPoZzrF8L149xs1A/s1600-h/disposal%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="how to fix a disposal" border="0" height="441" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXldNYQqdkF8MFWXmn55wZR8yTCyJYuQ9Mbk98OTgE-CB6AqO5pkg0W9gPHokrFL-rI-Grq8o3Euo_l3Tx-a_0TauUzFL8SzRW8EAt-9Ygj5Q3T9dLi5MsheQrr2CCLxStiEdlgsJjYBA/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="how to fix a disposal" width="500" /></a> There’s two areas that are important. The red button on the right is the reset button. Sometimes you can just push that in after clearing out the drain part and it may work. (The button will be out if it needs to be reset. If it’s already pushed in it doesn’t need reset.) The area in the middle is how you’ll fix most issues with disposal. You’ll need the key that came with it -- it’s just an allen wrench basically: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5IX7ShJApsAOFVWhQeai0ukku-nLVdQjMftlbd5WL0h-Xn672klw9RoIS8lnpqzjn-ICfpXxZvEOZheuLpA48O55aJ9PahJKUrViXLlqupjzbrL0l6Y6_5rdSDQ-syiiRS4br4BZwJ4/s1600-h/disposalkey%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="disposal key" border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_2MA4quL5JglfWUCN9CY-Gof98WMnNHOI_k66Ahevhf6CqSQZw-_RQn7m3KOK3JbatSfVonLP_7_GNS_Fy4wKwXSZ23eUan151SiXpNq78Trz8ulrVycnP4DAmDBpnTTYkMPum69VdM/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="disposal key" width="290" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GfbBZmvXTfEEkfhN2UnHk_rw7P9UqC-5Pi2M-ruxJSwTvtgY9nxTLILmbZoQscbgz9NqZODD-_xlhQ681Yt6EA6xhneQ5fnQDVjTK-ZIspjvMBfB45ge2WKqeSi_uPv3KqLO6qgWIMk/s1600-h/disposalkey2%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="easy disposal fix" border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilFVL3ccW87gPnT8Ttt0BDUo-tkZBfhNEUNFBePDeD12npJF0aMo0eNhEA-y1KJ0r9qFIYDGHB8RBbsDAV6tW7mBQc0JsKmTClTM6fz3k5EoUKZYo8_DUkYSXP0cAZdQ0H3PCN_mmWUxM/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="easy disposal fix" width="290" /></a> If you don’t have the specific one that came with your disposal you can usually find one that works on an allen wrench set: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAmyHDTi2QMJgnYuvMrl-Grz80zDYK5eDBpVS5eWdxONqF1TGAkWPdCn3WofQfEOUjwR3vWvAyNQqtzvjSJ0GpoYut0IO2ui-AovS4NLnSDF1ZIkgeltNtgXKw4lWZpDiQGx9VkZ-EvE/s1600-h/allen%252520wrench%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="allen wrench" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiDmsFmXqrIiKu-P48ZvYH0DF3C4H7CsScDliWwuMHdJQvkANQ41DGMDCU8qT1tnsXEw-z2ILUsG9fUuQ_Pes_O1WblmxfA_Gp3SjlsReXcWQwvXr5E61uXrxEXet8P7aHus9_-lsvYU/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="allen wrench" width="500" /></a> Although when I fixed ours the set did not work – I had to use the disposal key to do it. The allen wrench wouldn’t grab enough. You stick the key inside and turn it – you may hear everything inside moving around. This is a good thing. I could hear ours grinding. Every few turns I would try the disposal again – if it doesn’t work on the first try or two keep turning. You’ll want to hit the reset button again if it’s sticking out and then things should be moving again. It took about three attempts to clear ours out but it worked! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNFZrodyD_4N4kEXWmjUbWqlo-SStpfOjujiu4np8fViTi9GJxgT1zmnXhSuimpwf9437zjRm7OGkutfv-MeP9DhqnNVI4I7RWnGKSpffZr9wIp7PQzhcVe-xxL5JxJeFNPaqC6cyeAQQ/s1600-h/disposalheader%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="fixing garbage disposal" border="0" height="441" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIH5MdfCOAPy6VlZahKP93zRj4-mi4b492ZqQNk-KKrJ_NJsRMciQiMyQ6weXwq5esid1N4wqdeqqhFRnEFRbV6vdfd28-0LBMCGsdGOUBlE8kwkTUl9Kr8KuVmMUtMthywDYajWztOrw/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="fixing garbage disposal" width="500" /></a> It just takes a few minutes and you’ll usually be able to fix yours on your own. Have you ever tried this? It’s a GREAT feeling to save hundreds of bucks! Or at least $75-$150 for a service call so the repairman can do the same thing.  Now go look up Mr. Obvious. :)

Simple fix: The disposal

$13 planked wall (Finished fireplace!)

Hello all! Wow, what a full weekend! My husband was out of town so the kiddo and I played hard all day Saturday – all kinds of fall goodness. Sunday I worked my tail off getting the fireplace finished up, finally! It’s DONE! I had a couple things left to do to get it done – I had already finished up the wall treatment above the fireplace and I’m really pleased with how it came together. I knew all along I wanted to plank the top wall, but I wanted to do it a little differently than I did <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2012/06/over-fireplace.html">last time</a>. I wanted the planks to be much wider than the standard mdf or <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/06/powder-room-redo-complete.html">pine</a> I usually use. So I went straight for the underlayment at the hardware store: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZw9Vbp4pn74bk52KKmv-Gox1mOYXNA66xmy2U7NqqqlIfgbuREKAn_OL3dfFpO_azPzS8RBhy-DrTOD_rqFeBbdC_TF1ys4aefAvf6WfQMGtI6c6Kk0WmudUy3c7wjDR5mu0BKpBeX6M/s1600-h/underlayment%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="underlayment as wood planks" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHnOk3Gkz2_-2XW9ZZi7FpLYUm6JsQ0Ch3JekEW7ZIbeUtV_VxJ_ldDS0t4XR5FgCN8JPDeXS4N0w21PMe-xCYJJFZKh1CP2eFHMrE0f8_l2sbYREDMwBGPMn0kSUHASFJjB70M5JtBeQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="underlayment as wood planks" width="450" /></a> This is the stuff used under flooring and it’s SUPER cheap. I paid $13 for a big sheet. The nice guy at Lowe’s cut it down into strips for me – each one just over five inches wide. The edges needed to be sanded down just a little bit – it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be though. Then I gave them two coats of my Peppercorn color and started the process of hanging: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVK7QWZ3iN9iQx7uyAGu7DuGZjI7gRSixVesT1vYZgSUMwNQqk2HdQ-VxneuhEBZfD-CXLUXTOr-ZU9QYij6lR1-eDtoYRc3kk7w4fFw246wEzqWlnsMyAlKuqVGlDYWG7tSsn2oKgco/s1600-h/IMG_9917%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="installing wood planks" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbUSDW9xlDH97N4pxCSCXhmeQiVV7IRFUkKZL2jj9sXaUtqLqwBSY3o-mcn-Kbh9mjgExGER4qapya5kUMKZ_R7gQaclHYmrM2Oz-_gaARVExY6RxfmLhRtcCZSSaf2ZMqdO7-G6tAmg/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="installing wood planks" width="500" /></a> My wall is a little over 50 inches tall so I did some figuring to determine the width of each plank – I knew I was going to put some space between each one so I ended up with the five+ size. You can use anything you want as a spacer – I had my brad nails on hand so used those. By the way, I painted the wall the gray color first – this is important if you’re going to leave any space between your boards. I moved my “spacers” down each plank as I nailed them in, checking for level while I did it: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVFfb3sNLayIN-5oBMRUwVIRe3o-d1v0de6Acc8wHqqTD6KTk_ZnyzFsjYHM_PdHpldH-t665_mhXop_UgNCjqizik_sAeUYXtQCdYcaRuACxcrbVuQnML15xTKddkhvRXcLyd9dyF5Jw/s1600-h/IMG_9920%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wood plank wall install" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNDLby8e6NNj_uBSEw8oyBksDAOQCtfZpNUvXKck23M-KGZXwunz6nIN6cHejedKCrueipnpPhyphenhyphenRxn6loXpyakWsDIV2X0cxhFSKEBLslZZrYjC4S4NwranyVTkLmZO352pDIhcn_EqDo/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="wood plank wall install" width="500" /></a> This install went really fast – the front part anyway.

That’s my excuse anyway. :) When I designed this huge fireplace I knew the TV was going to have to go above. Not my first choice but it was the only way to make the layout work. So I had the guys make an inset in the middle of that upper wall for the TV to sit into: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_eWyT4HPdKP9JXfjutvLAbeHtH86nSkCl5RKN3cSrq05LvxmEiZh-g-WjEZXo8CG-o7k7ixT_1EWvZdOFmvXusLTFskY1sj1p0uL90OvigheYQgbHr_kRsdo5-MU8uUapDTdtvmTKrA/s1600-h/IMG_9996%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="TV above fireplace" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_UL0yiCDJ8FxjVsoo1O-5Z6oUchHJwpSLiV985ZrctV-ue-3M5nwiJfIgUxraumipJEiFGnvPROlUN6bf686VSm78Dv2L3bkSHggjz4ruV53FXHz0F1KXNSXJgTJh1WDHwbXriSzObuI/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="TV above fireplace" width="500" /></a> We have it on a bracket that moves any direction – but when we push it back in you can’t see any cords at all.

It feels good to branch out every once and a while. :) We get such good light in here now the room can take it: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Nh4k8Q8kRudCcTEkpBq6UFbXslj5IRdVXzY-M45DPqHFTImAoyELR-LtkCKpcJ6WzFZbxSedDoHKqwysg5fKVuFNKvoVccNwsnNV2mMevNAK2T7Y3oW74Tfzj-ZtzA3OAskYWHeuXDc/s1600-h/IMG_9975%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="gray fireplace with built ins" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCsXNJyR4fbY93i5s-dUvoLUcrBEcqgUAtFmenrX4Fxa2qE2M8kXAVC0sb-Bwqh_uToLWk6Rtv40rGnln7t-LB5r1JryDfejn0ti-PE5I_3Yf12sxEYu_uydriWIC8Gu0Nr8n4cIMll1g/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="gray fireplace with built ins" width="500" /></a> I haven’t really decorated it yet – this is stuff I’ve had up here and I’m not sure it will stay. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the long box up there or not: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlMl_w6r1fnR38b5YbkISHULumIfNgpwOnLcbRk0c0qkPsIAiZt-T7bFoSaVIAB6KdnC-nIDzbhZPP1zUjM5Y7rvSwSW3DJZRICCRyRJod_1geMhoBMy5KvT-81icJV-L3q0FawMnnpLg/s1600-h/IMG_9980%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="herringbone tile" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzsGp4rbOD_UUQSgroNuhJgqyQ8TnzuSz-CMsOzObu0nl5-0KkR2Yu7FZvvo9hyphenhyphenuARWDfnAzo5gY8kKULH0T7PRj1bSd9y3KXOAR_cz3En_8H8LEFUeGY2OQ1WjOruYAnG7twXnflwGGA/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="herringbone tile" width="500" /></a> The mantel is so deep -- my possibilities are endless! I just want to play around with some things to see what works. For now it’s simple and I like it. I had some gold candle sconces from Target to hang on either side of the TV but when we held them up last night both my husband and I thought they didn’t look right. It looked too busy. I think I’d still like to try something on either side perhaps, but they will need to be long and skinny: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1hC5oZ9n3iY-m-lENdzHXL2V2I9ygMoruzlSjDcMt-Guihq_zgkN10yjniCSmk0Psf94GNQvkKsSpLg_A4PYg0xwh8nBT3Ay_IhXNl0E6f41gNTCqgP6SQ9zD0A4W7eMqOvh7Sxo4d4/s1600-h/IMG_9985%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="peppercorn sherwin williams" border="0" height="678" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQ6JYJAjUy95f_dScgnJskbp6AE-Zfq7adciQ-5s-EU7JEgs-Q7kc83deavCYP1MW6wNx2FNy1Cv-ahnWch6nUBaehMq0SCVwhBJ9yXHz-6ff3xOipWIfO2QZmhQ8LnPkxfLmZTw-QLE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="peppercorn sherwin williams" width="500" /></a> The crown still needs to be painted and finished up there…I’ll tackle that all at once around the room. If you remember we had to build the fireplace out this far because otherwise we would’ve had to get a permit to build a “doghouse” off the back of the house for it. That would have added quite a bit of time and lots of money so we went with this. It ended up working GREAT because we now have extra storage and a spot for the TV components on the sides: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfVgyWLAA0P267w5vBdLHetP6TBqQ7iSMfo9AFKOEbG7ibDING1-q0uE9rX7d2pjE_JPaGtfwvAYf3gCuAFgFH7p1s_tSlprjmnaGsif5Ho7NGf1mxsuoQ9TkA31381f_q-CVl4ydSR08/s1600-h/IMG_9990%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="TV component storage next to fireplace" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgga8HZQ1vqtVm78wFABYzjs0az-9Ddp36dsFrnqEuS9UZFhPoFTtMmTC7LYMZ9IcePsYP9yUpt3_D_qvsTVqwpgOi3X33_HNRUM_3uXl318xL67MH9-eDBNMEGsOb-SIELc9amv-wr2RY/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="TV component storage next to fireplace" width="500" /></a> A few of you asked and YES the remotes work through that metal sheeting! I LOVE that I have all kinds of junk in those cabinets right now and you can’t even tell. Buwhahaha. :) We were going to hold off on any more construction till next year…but then I quickly realized I just wanted to get it all over with. So that window on the right will be double doors soon (I’m hoping within a month) and the bay window in the kitchen will get a makeover too. So I haven’t continued the molding in that area or painted anything – there’s no point till after we get that done. But the big beast in the room is DONE!! It took me nearly a month!: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxQ1UeICJYsnm4YJNn_9M0nWcgMfFe3gIoRwFOVg7_YZDFVTFmt1otD7AdPYZl6mNECaYrPwHxQ8wfb1qmGbF984A8GpvSuW6GiL5rrdsIgR_0N9g1ftxtYiYa4X3BtzQ5c3JNO37-28/s1600-h/IMG_9992%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="dark gray fireplace" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis2aAbWA-PJ2LRjRRyERzhPcyCAoRqBBGE13-EnFznRLAngNImtorQKLZIJJUaH3rGRDsNyTWFYlEOc_TDJHvTUJip4muBt2NkulHBCec1AyCzFXglP8ntyDE0IKQuW8PoQjgH_YnQy2k/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="dark gray fireplace" width="500" /></a> I’m SO pleased with it. Now onto the smaller jobs in this room to get it finished up – paint, molding fixes, door trim, more paint and then some final decorating touches. This is taking waaaay longer than I thought it would but it’s been a pleasure along the way. :) Thanks for coming along with me, as always.

Let’s go shopping

Hey all! Happy Friday! I’m back with a little shopping excursion to one of my favorite stores. I like sharing spots that I think have great products and prices (and no, this is not a sponsored post!). I’ve shopped Cost Plus World Market for years now but I feel like it’s been over the past couple of years that they’ve really upped their game. They have the same feel as Pier 1 -- I just find the pieces to be a little more unique and different. It’s a place I like to walk through just to get inspired. I don’t buy something every trip there but I always walk away wanting to buy plenty. ;) I had to return a few things yesterday so I took some pics as I walked through to show you why I love this place so much! They always have beautiful rugs – I loved the shaggy diamond patterned one: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBn6jc-ThY_FOHCaq-2PZuyWOj9MG2ywgwJeNoUrhVi8nq27-mv_0ExO_gLpCtvuJO4WyMc4inT3iu9BTYHAYHtto-KxeFP1iQ0pOj7Ao6RcCquke-K06wydLz8NwTFX3_8ZyslLWvdc/s1600-h/WM1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="diamond rug world market" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisKi92QKXtuzrcHaeJAKtBOP_U5lC4sO7qgLkw1mVQqrrZ_Ftn64LDLWqT_zsH2lz2kEnP7oFoNO4rKQzCJeF_MnZsqEVyeW_k6beoDDbtpHqLCTd5WKr-9t1ycbStCZ5IQotpBvHbXwU/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="diamond rug world market" width="500" /></a> They have a great variety in the store and bigger sizes available online. That sheepskin rug is way cheaper at IKEA though. :) I have so many dang mirrors, I don’t need another one. But both of these catch my eye every time I go in: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWPyg5rTMcrl7BWB4Hxq5FiHCxi0VNdsr607L1qsPid4A0qYannhbhmjOj9UK25zPi8euWw4yrJdBsmdCV6ntfwIKkf3nGqIetWIL9ZV8CQnpWgxgVrwiRi6xrnhmlNMcH6gJKFd_bWCM/s1600-h/WM2%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wood sunburst mirror" border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvRfOu3VwBRvTJ6uh-1I9qI1n2m3aGrvYEWn0K8k2fIKGbFTeuXTgao-zH_MP4rVYRCQjsBqBjvbxC4IG3wh1oZ2e-CbPsGMj-yRPBDkTuk3uFpZJctFyvFNLj_KprfQkBH96VSLmRGQA/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="wood sunburst mirror" width="277" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNR8LHrsT4EN_Gl0-1AWEOCGIthU-OW-eYQ0v59kQl6QskpJ0KqmGGuJnec8_V-gfYxeW3nP_ulCl9yKjx_oImkou3UTWdRVQYjNminuJ_bD1iDhzFHe-2P88GA5PBloQ4DJvfytYYoU/s1600-h/WM3%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wood oval mirror" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NIARlg1pEadv29eql7nJ8zz7ZK21UE2BpF13NDq2De2TSAhOnSY2B41Hg6-AXHnO9infpHtlq_qemlr9QU2MDa_7yNnfOMEooUr26VbG3wjzbEk44E3vrV4GYP863AW6AWXuKBS84Tg/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="wood oval mirror" width="290" /></a> I’m always trying to figure out where I could put one!

I love it. There are a TON of decorative items throughout too. I loved this wood sconce: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTcV0lNh90QOlTMkNLgdnd0AAxtcVxGLh4Qp6A21RT5WY6Cb3TKm-lYteAm8MUGd8gC-n9BZDD1V4TqjlFRiGXZbacDIvlCczDkwOfoMLYX31-WQG2zV2OZ-HvU9XMNYX6mkiewhmHW0/s1600-h/10%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="sconce world market" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjizPjabb8LcOGux_x6Rd6dGMwLDQEY1CfAwG9F6e5ZxYMwX2LM07M8dRsCwdCokHD8rhVxyQH0Dc21EsryKBbEZzw4Tk2KQ5wsUM3dN9qV8vwAcPzFZ3fN9FnZ3JP9RUQjhNrjLNN0gx8/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="sconce world market" width="500" /></a> World Market is one of the only places around (other than HomeGoods) that carries furniture you can actually buy and take with you. I got this <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-little-somethin.html">foyer table</a> a couple years ago: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiki3ujaL7fCB9Ugzlod9bSpdB71ZbM5FHG3HIfc65Iz3hTp87-0Yy-Xhvy_2XRt8mo85yW1U8YMMB0P9_yVuEpKx59ata3tzevyqgKW82gxzdWTT_wyoLqzSxhTYCt-a-paUfyXAceAqw/s1600-h/IMG_9728%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="high board and batten" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi4567oDn9VBo67WUIQE-gDVgekCE1gDnKNV8dN1hhzrjh1GzlQITobfM_H-gjIz30xqS5zrdUzu3hlBO6SepMSn9i0PnmW-ukFpfSqDc0HerWhOpwyNobhftPGqVKra-tTUSVK5GZvBc/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="high board and batten" width="500" /></a> I adore this table. I added the hardware to dress it up just a bit but otherwise it’s beautiful on it’s own. I love the look of the wood – it’s a natural tone with a little white wash. So pretty. They have a huge drapery selection too: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFrPEMgFpW8XWBpYPf8HNjq-SiAVLxwDtWLO3gaYxfJsldWauV8jvZMkaZOqEXxdFRQivrhyphenhyphenxKckR2SiAqVXAvnLjduWKD0HopThyg9Ngg7fqsIQITmgAv3tD1EqgwnqkDI6ZcumRGsY/s1600-h/11%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="window treatments world market" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmyQqDaMnHwpdpiz43vb99sniVHXIkkhXgKcoG4VXeLLuoLGv7m4y9eLmDXHhcapZ9WczmlJH-IIVnmFlw09fFWAtu3hvoIg-TdtSHWa_0PffHEMYhK5ntYVDCgqjyDCcs78UXAgLDhY/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="window treatments world market" width="500" /></a> But if you need anything longer than 84 inches you’ll have to shop online. One of my favorite spots in the store is the lighting area: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSWRfQC-W-FLyHGCu5FnD6qTnkuJDBr1FTJKykV5J4Oudt56c12Vwh6KXcz5xbYSul9R6oqYHnIBVC6L_THo5ZMH3DIdEof2fKYpJdjyQY7wFClbawfs136zcd9fvO41bOlx1p1TbxVVQ/s1600-h/12%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="knock off eldridge light" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFom7At6G8gdB1jcNaLY58xJ0F0bA6OvXkt-GnD3PJi6aDJyWbluIOd3VVoMhLl0J-4130LxYO4ZbctJnAUaAKCSs5ArPXW-XxyikXD2nvLb9divgjqk1piw_K5h_9aIdubzow-Fb8Eow/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="knock off eldridge light" width="290" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaEb3xs_MJ_AKTK7xjHIjfTCZL3VPz586U1N-BmjXUBglyVY1kENXhOFzF7qHfGXMDFBddqDshAlUDFPzNMwb0sPp23uGB1K3InYXzeEBBcyMB35Hjhm0WwqK9Pw2U2CWSjGyA1x334k/s1600-h/13%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lotus light fixture" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaVNLW-6j3sVLxmOtC5UrguUD4TIsEi3vuwN-xwKv_KZynFvS0d_iQmHXdtqRXb2VwxcoQabYjIPeZJMKm8-hgLnHq_x3kRJyU3Z5cL9XfcIpgsluuek13bhTT2jzGMDSXymXPoQojkxU/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="lotus light fixture" width="290" /></a> That one on the left? It’s an exact replica of the <a href="http://www.ballarddesigns.com/eldridge-pendant/lighting/chandeliers-pendants/209472">Ballard Designs light</a> – this one is bigger than the BD small version and $50 cheaper. One of my all time favorite purchases from WM is <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-kitchen-nook-complete.html">the chandelier</a> over our kitchen table: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEJ2JF0QGDmdKKhDz2wnY2rZS3GTnY15-isKaUoHF76Ys01bWy54UmqUdwWAivbKj0z8GA_SvoCf7DwpnPwM1dsZhJHsuv8hJnX7-lj8Cz45tRaPUvwvHtG6EH_fYEj6KWXN42meWGFQ/s1600-h/IMG_9878%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wood chandelier" border="0" height="752" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvZOUVuWgRNCQ-oSHFBHyRtzDCeBA5US0zuoi8zN2FdrC_P2DjNdPpt0cA0xDbE7GlMqB0b4_40_D6pS-Tm_hX7Kup26YL2MVP9kYyAbJP7gBIU_3lboS_FXyv8BqmRsPd84gGhxXR0kI/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="wood chandelier" width="500" /></a> I get asked about our kitchen chairs all the time too – those are also from World Market. If you are patient you can get their furniture on sale and they’re always sending out coupons too. I LOVE their linens – I’ve not found a selection like this anywhere else: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsndVq17nWgYGV8oW8reafKcu4X_-EozpLy2TD3bKTXkmiFswRFOrxyZCkGtqrhUeNNAztoA0MaFBSldqIaMPODoBWV35v-eJqFd-g4q-1WlLlQDndonfkMi50I2mpGRS80LlysL0PMU/s1600-h/16%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="kitchen linens world market" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy8iDZKMyoPGEuikOHfa_3E4X8JeuuYlFI75QxkzFUGZdVrOAZgjNL7SfHw-Xbf0jnQO9n5-w0PMZoOf8PCtIKesMe8P3nlm0jCHF_1QCnsz0s2UZh7eYbHiD63ZoKIfEUMuiR9BsU4ts/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="kitchen linens world market" width="500" /></a> I used their placemats to make most of our outdoor pillows years ago: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt46Bc9y-B9LEcUIR30ZisbBs2DmQCdqnf8jYD2BmmXTfD7YsqR2kpypXJOefMhh54rb6yYyzeohE1jBT5My6V1IJOAVomd98Rcq9-EVukHlzAFerYbMTeZ6NebjS4yi0zq-UVEumR_wU/s1600-h/IMG_2919_thumb%25255B5%25255D%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="placemat pillows" border="0" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxAGlR51WSJnRAzSiMr21n5qMfevmKHJrtL7m9R95Zaz2XnrrZmeoU7uJkZ_ebneMDIsY0nXdB0gdr1gC0kmjgmuIf6Gse7JBo2jz9AgMNJtWJcKFKRaVv3vUNpB3ezuJTOQpbQNLVHYI/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="placemat pillows" width="360" /></a> WM also has a TN of kitchen and entertaining products: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdPzRcB07MNrtHEP-25yYLk1MeFH6NIj1fH0Fnt8dBwVEcWVwYa6k69-jLYA8FULwiHazAAq2wEQZtKcbnw0YRYX4_he-G68-gVlkaBLha0Kz601BnRRRDLNFIxfBGvJ4Nax7Au5jWbU/s1600-h/17%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="mason jar beverage dispenser" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr2dPv3_8SVlZbxGttg5cimH0WiVFYrwh42q8yB7WIlHA6uKGiMbZogF6kCYY2bF1d0NGT839A66bcux00plP7tFM8CbIalD3K2j1sqVrLKIe3r0pLb_euYD2kwv7tR2rbAgND-j5N-I/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="mason jar beverage dispenser" width="290" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSyZIeZXtVM4nDE2zuGew15P96DWtuX08QS4zlL63RCCaWeCcXcUeQEdH59sDXxs6R1pSzoV408_MSOMWmQ3UitOq5fbeK4TRREDrp426eiJBUC1-WWNgS2C6x1aKI61DzZZ5NSF-YSE/s1600-h/19%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="salad servers world market" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFM2Vfjrx5uhZRR7Q0o0y1Qhrkof6ILsJ9Ru0XpPZXF0tsWitiH2e63BuwVb7ZIOUFjNmmmKER4pcX1wGdT8KjSqCGfrQiqIOvptySzubCNmaTGTeHZyXkYGsJiWwFCetWvUJia531uAY/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="salad servers world market" width="290" /></a> I can spend a good 30 minutes just checking out all the cute items in that section alone. World Market also carries a HUGE wine selection and tons of unique and worldly food options. It really is a fun spot to check out! I find their prices to be pretty reasonable and for bigger items I will try to wait till it’s on sale or I have a coupon. Have you ever shopped this store? We only have one nearby but they do sell online as well. Have a GREAT weekend my friends!
