Yep, all those goodies are from Wally World. 

Shocked?

Me too.

The ceramic night light looks way high end in person (they had a few other animals too) as do those orange lamps. They also had a really cute owl lamp that if spray painted white would look exactly like the West Elm one.
I snagged that chevron hamper last night, it's even better in person (more gray/cream than black/white) and looks great in the bathroom.

Speaking of which, bathroom remodel starts in one week!

So excited!!

Costco Art

Yes, you did read that right.

Costco Art.

Bet you didn't think your Costco card would get you anything but the hugest jar of pickles you've ever seen and toilet paper for a year. 

Guess again my friend! Costco's online Photo Center has a pretty great Art and Image Gallery. You can choose an image from Abstract and Fine Art, Photography, Antique maps, etc. and have poster prints or gallery canvas' made. 

A 20 x 30 poster print is only $7.99 and if you want to go big or go home a 40 x 60 gallery canvas will set you back $289.99.

Here's some of my favorites.

You're welcome.

Butterfly Art

(all images via my Pinterest)

Yep, we've all seen it. 

Faux or real.

Some hate it, some love it. 

I happen to love it. 

There are some great options out there (butterflyutopia.com!) but I am cheap budget friendly and wanted some bang for next to no buck. 

Enter my kids' bug sticker book. 

Ha ha, yep I am THAT cheap!

Some white card stock and a frame I had lying around, quickly turned into this:

Pretty cute for free huh!?

If you want to follow suit with the faux.....

Clockwise from top left: here, here and here.

Artificial, here and here (just pop them in a shadow box) and free images (blow them up big!) here.

In the May/June issue of Rue there is an article on Valorie Hart's home.

What caught my eye right away was the area rug(s) in her bedroom.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with these images of a framed constellation chart in Thomas O'Brien's apartment.

While at a garage sale last week I came across a vintage constellation wheel game for $2. It came with six different colored star wheels, two of which were the classic navy. The others are black, white and turquiose.

Here are the navy ones in Isaac's nursery. I just popped them into some frames that I had lying around.

Etsy has some great options if you want one too.
