Dreaming on a Budget

Here's the latest installment of Dreaming on a Budget.

Sometimes all you need is a pop of color to pull a room together. While I’m not a fan of a single pop (in case you haven’t seen my own living room, check it out here at Turquish Dreams), I can see the appeal.

While trolling Etsy the other day, I came across a lot of great stuff; but then again, when don’t I? Most importantly, I found a bunch of great things that are priced affordably AND they're made right here in the good ol' USA. (Seriously. If you're not supporting American-made products & American companies, then wtf? Start supporting your d@#& country!) So, here are a few items to add a pop of yellow to your home decor. 


From Bacon Square Farm (right out of Mankato, Minnesota) on Etsy.com; this bench is a great pop of yellow for an entryway or hallway. Plus, $75 (plus shipping), it won't break your bank.



Another super cute bench... This time from Scruff Monkey Shop (out of Kansas City, Missouri). $59.00 (plus shipping) is currently on sale at the time of this blog post (but listed originally as $75.00).



I LOVE this dresser. It's a shame it's only being sold locally and pick-up only, as I would shell out $150 for this baby EASILY. (Though I may consider taking a drive down to Indianapolis to pick it up... It's only what, 6 hours?) From Lila's Pockets on Etsy.



If you're like me you've got a pet (or 4, yes, I have 4). I actually happen to own one of these elevated pet feeders for my dog, Sophie. Of course, hers is in pink but if I could choose all over again, I'd do yellow the second time around. In any case, I can guarantee you from personal experience that Merlin's Bark Products (out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a GREAT shop to buy from. I've bought from them. This feeder is heavy duty, the real deal. AND it's easy to clean when the pets get a little messy; but I digress... This particular model is $25.00; but they'll make you custom sizes depending on your pet's height and needs.



Again with the pets? Of course. I hate boring pet beds (I really, really do.) They're one of those necessities you have to have but often times, don't look that great compared to the rest of your house. This awesome pet bed is so mid-century, it's completely fantastical. Yes. Fantastical. If I could get my dog to sleep on it, I would (but she's too big, and she wouldn't). Maybe one of the cats... Hmm. Anyway. $95 (plus shipping) from ModPet out of New York.



Last but not least; this yellow clock from Chromalab (Boston, Massachusetts), $69.00 (plus shipping). Want to add some yellow without going over board? Throw a clock up on the wall. BAM. Done.
