I am so, so happy for Friday! We have a busy day planned, some contractors coming to the house early for a simple mirror project that I can’t wait to show you next week! And since I like to keep y’all in the loop when I find cute things for the home for not a lot of money, here are some of my favorites lately: First up are these quatrefoil reversible handtowels from TJ Maxx. I bought the bath towels too, but they weren’t very absorbent, so they’re back in the laundry pile. The bath towels were $8. 
These West Elm chevron accessories are holding my toothbrush/paste and contact case. The tumbler was $8 and the little tray was $6. I almost got these instead. 
This white lacquer tray from the Container Store was $10. Although I really don’t like to keep beauty products on the bathroom counter, it’s convenient to have a few daily essentials close at hand. 
Next up – James’ bathroom. I just picked up this fun, green soap dispenser from Crate & Barrel for $7. It comes in other colors too. 
(couldn’t resist adding this shot that captured James’ reflection in the mirror!) 
Also in James’ bathroom is this wooden crate I found at Michaels for around $10-15. It’s not new, but I love it for containing all of his bath stuff. 
And in his nursery, my “You Are My Sunshine” print from Pretty Smitten ($18) has finally been hung. I had a hard time finding a simple, shiny silver frame, but lucked out at Wal-Mart and found this one for $10! 
Speaking of Wal-Mart, these faux green apples were only $1 each! 
But check out this fun elephant that was $15 at Homegoods! How cheery! It will probably live on the white dresser in the future. 
And finally, Z Gallerie has these awesome round crocodile trays for $30. They also come in lime, aqua, silver and white. 
Happy, happy weekend to you my friends!

Thanks for sharing your latest finds! Love the towels and crocodile tray! I need to get to Walmart and buy some of those green apples! I keep my apples in the fridge because I like to eat them chilled, but I also like to display them in my pretty bowl on the counter. I'm always torn– chilled apples or pretty display. Thanks for helping me solve my apple problem. Haha! 🙂
LOVE all the finds! Those towels are perfect
Thanks for sharing your awesome finds! I had a similar orange tray I bought a few years earlier from ZGallerie in the same shade and same faux crocodile motif but it's not round, it's a square! Great minds think alike?
Anyway, I am just wondering where did you get the fabulous green geometric table runner? It will be a perfect fit for my dining table! Thanks.

Im soo jealous of all the cheap finds you have over there in America. They just arent available like that over here! *sigh*
Did the towels get better after washing? Doyou recomend them?
Love them all!! I have a darling picture for you that is coming your way next week!!
I picked up the same towels the other day as well…our TJ Maxx was full of quatrefoil stuff! I love the orange pillows I spotted in your guest room.
Great buys – and such good deals!
I especially love the elephant and that crocodile tray 🙂

Ok, I love the WE tumblers (both of them) and I like the little tray too! How cute!
Love the all! I am especially loving the little things at West Elm lately. That elephant is adorable.
great finds! i love the chevron trays!
I love that towel! I was at TJ Maxx tonight and they didn't have any of those. I'll have to keep checking to see if they get some in. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I'm in lust with the orange elephant! I've just done a post on my Orange Odyssey. Can't get enough…
Which TJMaxx location did you find the towels at here in Houston?? I've found that there are a couple that get GREAT houseware items and some that never get anything!
great post! I love those frames from Wal mart- I just put them in a clients home for a picture wall. Great finds! Have a great weekend…-Ann
You've just inspired me to go to Home Goods. I love finding new things for the house!
I love me a good bargain, what a great round up. That elephant had to be my favorite though.
I love those handtowels! I'm currently obsessed with that pattern. I also have the West Elm tumbler but I put it in my office to hold pens 🙂
Great finds! I love them all.
I love all of the orange in the elephant photo. I wish my city had a Homegoods, but we do not.
Love the elephant and the towels. I was supposed to be saving money, but now I've got a new shopping bug.
Love the orange Elephant!! I have an ugly color elephant at home waiting for it to warm up in Minnesota enough for me to spray paint it… can't wait now that I have seen yours!
I love this post! It is so colorful and there is not a thing you showed that I don't want!
Great finds! Love that TJ Maxx!
I'm a Cetaphil girl myself : )
Have a great weekend!
I am slightly obsessed with your blog! I drool over your home quite frequently and can't get enough of it!
You have a beautiful style! I just love it!
Great finds, Megan! I espesh love the hand towels!!
I found some "Imperial Trellis" sheets there last weekend! Gotta love TJ Maxx!
Love your great finds! The elephant and all the orange items you have is soooo pretty!
Where did you get the sand hourglass item in the first picture?
-Angelica
Great finds! Love that little elephant in the guest room! Happy weekend, love! xo
Love your nightstand that holds your pillows! Where did you find it?
What great finds! You've certainly got an eye for deals!
Fab additions!! Little touches are always so fun 🙂
Great finds!! I think I will have to hit ZGallerie for a tray like that…and so glad you found a frame for your You Are My Sunshine print. Hope you are enjoying it! 🙂
Fun finds. Love James' reflection in the picture. I have that same tray in silver 🙂
Great home finds! Am especially liking that green soap dispenser and the chevron bathroom ceramics!
Happy weekend hun xx
Orange and Chevron – they warm my heart! Great finds for Great prices 🙂 Happy Friday to you, can't wait to see the mirror details!!!
Not only are these great additions but it's a brilliant idea for a post. xoxo to you Megan.
I love your orange room! I'm assuming the guest room, right? How awesome that you found everything in that exact shade! Hope you have been enjoying this fabulous weather! Have a great weekend, girlie. 🙂
Great finds! I love your guest room. So fun and fresh! I have the crocodile tray in black and found it at Costco a couple months ago. Love it in orange!
Oh, my word, have got to get by TJ Maxx and see if ours have any of those fantastic towels!!! Love, love!
So many great finds, so little time…and funds!!! (c: I'm wishing my HomeGoods had that darling elephant, he is adorable! And that crocodile tray is *begging* to come live with me…(c: Happy Weekend!
Love all the cool stuff. I'm guessing you like "orange" & so do I. The tray is great. The artwork will look great on that wall — good that you can move the thermostat. I don't understand why builders & contractors position things the way they do sometimes. They should always have women making the final decisions. LOL!!!
That is really cool that you are getting together with some local bloggers. I'm hoping to do the same thing when we move to the Phoenix area. I'm meeting more & more from that area all the time here in blogland.

Well hello! GREAT deals and cute stuff! This is my first time here it will certainly not be the last! Lovely blog. I'm off to read some of your previous posts! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Bonnie- the TJ Maxx was on West Grey.
Let's Take a Coffee Break- the hourglass is from Pottery Barn.
Anon- haven't tried out the towels yet after washing so don't know how absorbent they are now.
Tracylyon- the nightstand is a hand-me-down, don't know where from??
LOVE the elephant!
Great finds! I almost got those WE chevron items too! And love that tray!!
Happy weekend, friend!
Such great finds! I love them all.. especially the elephant! You are one good shopper girl:)
Great finds- I love the splashes of orange in the elephant and tray! You have great taste. 🙂
I just bought those West Elm bath accessories too!
Ok, I'm heading out to find those quatrefoil hand towels today! LOVE!
I am trying to put finishing touches on my living room and would love your feedback as I think we have VERY similar style =) Let me know your thoughts!
