Beautiful home finds I’ve come across lately that have caught my eye and sparked my imagination.
I’ve been stumbling on some great finds recently, and I just had to share a few favorites today. Some of these items are investment pieces that will stand the test of time, and quite a few of them are just really great deals if you’re looking for a little home decor update that won’t break the bank. This washable rug is so lovely with its brick red and blue tones. I love the idea of a traditional red rug in a cozy room, but that look can be a big commitment, so I like that this pattern approaches red with softness and versatility in mind. If you’re looking for on-trend sconces, these are incredibly inexpensive, and the shades are so cute. I haven’t had the chance to try this cookbook stand yet, but I’m intrigued! Here are all my recent favorite finds.

Timeless Home Finds
Moody Art Print (Less than $30!) | This moody landscape art print comes in two different sizes and will bring an instant vintage feel to any space. The thin gold frame gives the print an antique look while still fitting in with current trends for updated vintage-style spaces.
Cookbook Holder | This marble cookbook stand is such a fun piece. It’s a work of art on its own and can be displayed on a shelf or on a stack of coffee table books, but it also acts as a cookbook holder or iPad stand in the kitchen for when you’re following a recipe. Use it to display a favorite art piece next to the stove or the cover of a favorite cookbook when it’s not in use.
Copper Watering Can | I’m a big fan of having a stylish watering can that you can leave out and that doubles as charming garden decor. A watering can should be sitting by your front door at all times throughout the summer months so it’s ready when you need it, and with beautiful options like this copper watering can, there’s no reason to have a sad-looking plastic thing sitting out there all season long.
Scalloped Wall Sconce | These are so cute. I would love to see these on either side of a kitchen window or above an entryway table. The shades come in basic white, but you could easily upgrade these affordable sconces by painting the shades a custom colour to match your decor. Here’s my tutorial for painting lampshades: How to Successfully Paint a Lampshade
Garden Urn | I just love this style of garden urn. It’s absolutely classic in every way, but distinctive and different from the typical urns that you see. These would be beautiful with ferns on a front porch or spilling over with ivy. The light cream/grey color brings softness and elegance to any outdoor setting.
Duck Bookends | If you’re going to have a bookshelf, you have to have a great set of bookends. These ducks are so fun and would be great conversation starters as well. It’s no secret that I love the bookshelf wealth trend, and these inexpensive finds look like real antiques that would work so well with that look.
Green and Yellow Vase (under $40!) | Doesn’t this look like the perfect treasure from your granny’s basement? I love this vintage-style floral vase with an on-trend sage green and butter yellow pattern. This would be so lovely to hold wildflowers on a kitchen counter or just a bit of greenery gathered from your garden.
Striped Pillow and Floral Pillow | I love this clean and classic combo for adding a little pattern and interest to a basic chair or sofa, but not too much. No-Fail additions to update any neutral space without doing something too drastic.
Red and Blue Vintage Rug | This is such a soft, approachable take on a traditional red rug. The brick red and blue are slightly desaturated, giving the rug a time-worn appeal that brings warmth and character to a space without overwhelming it.
