Home Accessories Under $100 {for Our New House}

These are some pictures that have me lusting for some new accessories for our new house.

// one // Gold Athena Tray, $45 // two // Diptyque candle, $60 //
// three // Tom Ford book, $85 // four // Gold Wishbone, $48 // five // Gold Flatware, $29 // 
// six // Verdant Acres Plates, $7.95 {on sale}

We are currently under contract on the purchase of our house and my head is already full of ideas on what to do in each of the rooms. These accessories could easily give the feeling of new and fresh to furniture we already own. I am thinking the Athena tray would sit in our entryway console next to the Diptyque candle that would scent the house as guests walk in. The Tom Ford book would be a great addition to our coffee table with the wishbone sitting nicely on top of it. And those flowery plates and gold flatware would look great on our farmhouse table for a Sunday brunch with our new neighbors. I will share some house details next week.

Accessories for the Home: designstILes

I have asked a few of my favorite bloggers to fill-in for me while I am in the midst
of moving stateside. Today, I am so honored that Irene from designstILes is here with us. 
Her blog is full of inspirational images and she is one of the best at making 
tablescapes look beyond amazing.

Hi Pretty readers, it's Irene from designstILes filling in for Sara while she's settling into her new home.
I actually had the opportunity to meet Sara on a recent trip to Peru
Glad I caught her while she was still there.

Hope my five must-have home accessories will inspire her to bring these into her home. 
I'm sure a good amount of us already own most of these.
I've long liked most things brass, but recently brass figurines are too cute to pass up. They bring in a vintage feel full of personality.
Elephant and deer can be found here and here.
I love having fresh flowers in the house. Usually I just pick some wild ones from our yard, but if money permits, treat yourself to a more elaborate bouquet. And it's always nice to splurge on nicer flowers when guests come visit. Let's them know you care.

Decorative boxes are pretty and double as a place to hide obnoxious things like remote controls and other junk not nice enough to display.
I keep a candle in every room in our house. Also a nice gesture for when guests come visit. It's nice to hear your house smells good when they walk through the door.
Coffee table books showcase your interests and serve as a great source of inspiration.
And there you have it, my five must have accessories.
How many of these do you have?
Thanks so much for having me, Sara!

Thank you Irene for sharing your must-have accessories for the home!
