I fell in love with the new, pinecone wreath spotted in the holiday, Serena & Lily catalog. Swoony… but $300. I put together a dupe with a wreath from Amazon and ribbon from Hobby Lobby, clocking in at $35.

Wreath: Amazon $33 (I snipped the grapevine) it’s been going on and out of stock, so here are a couple more options:

Michaels online $33 with promo code 19NOV20W, free ship over $39. And there are Walmart online, $33

Velvet Ribbon: Hobby Lobby in Smokey Blue, on sale $2.50

It is possible I’ve seen every bar and counter stool under $500, in the last week. One thing I noticed: a surge of pretty, French bistro options at reasonable prices. The metal Target number is perfect for life with kids and is easy on a tight budget. I love the elevated look of the rattan seat on the Williams and Sonoma stool. The simplicity of this style is transitional enough to go with a variety of looks.

Target $76, 24″ French Bistro High Back Counter Stool – Black
(with promo FALL15)

Williams Sonoma Bistro Counter Stool $250
