Retailer Tips

 

what we shop for: Home organization and decor basics. For example, sheets, towels, rug pads, and pillow inserts are usually the best prices through Amazon.

ftf tip: We always search through amazon if we've found an item through another website or retailer - either to save some money on shipping or to benefit from amazon’s quick shipping or to get a lower price in general.

what we shop for: Seriously everything. This is one of our best sources- we each have 10+ and growing items in our own home. Rachel has had great luck with curtains and Laura found some great items for her home renovation

ftf tip: Also owns Joss & Main and AllModern. Sometimes, you can find the same items on all 3 for slightly different prices or in stock status.

what we shop for: Vintage items, wall art, these intaglios, this gold and lucite hardware, pillows, and custom linens. Make sure to checkout our favorites:
Rachel’s favorites / Laura’s favorites

ftf tip: It's so nice to support a small business and makers. Etsy is probably the most underrated home decor source in our opinion.

what we shop for: Our favorite frames of all time are from Target! This mirror is also a staple. Fun decor, candles, and pillows. 

ftf tip: Some items are unique to target, and some can be found elsewhere. We find that for furniture and decor, the website has a much wider variety than the stores. Free shipping over $35!

what we shop for:  Chairs, rugs, Rachel's favorite wedding gift

FTF Tip: same as amazon- we usually search here, too, before we purchase elsewhere. This one is sort of new-er to us, so we don't have much experience with this site.

what we shop for: coffee tables, curtains, seasonal decor, monogrammed items

FTF Tip: honestly, PBTeen and PB Kids have some great non-kid stuff. Especially lighting and window treatments.

what we shop for: some of the best on-trend lighting can be found here. Rugs are also fab.

FTF Tip: world market has a twice annual friends and family sale, but frequently has 20-30 percent off an item - so add to card and get in on the emails to get your best deal!

what we shop for: lighting and art, and then drool over the vintage section that would def be categorized as splurge. Doesn't hurt to look, right?!

FTF Tip: Don't let the website fool you - there are some deals buried in there! Especially lighting, mirrors, wall art -- find a brand that is within your price point and search that brand.

what we shop for: The most classic bamboo chairs have gone viral - and for good reason. We love their bedding options and classics. For custom upholstery, their prices are good. For art, we usually search elsewhere or watch for a sale.

FTF Tip: We love their "Stylish Steals" category for classic pieces.
