tj maxx goodies

i never tire of walking the aisles of tj maxx and looking for treasures. 
since i am in a rental house, i am not on the market for any new large pieces (kinda waiting to see where we end up before i commit),  so the items that i usually end up getting are smaller accessories.
so of COURSE i always seem to spot things that i would take home in a heartbeat if i had the
room...but it's always fun to LOOK.
i really like the charcoal fabric on this weathered wood chair.
a chair like this has such a small scale that it can go in SO many spaces in a house---
next to an entry table, in a bedroom,  or in front of a bookcase in a family room...the possibilities are endless.


this table is a knock off of the pipa table from oly studio. the retail price on the"real deal" is $2500, so you could save a bundle by getting a table like this and still get that high end look.

i see a lot of round mirrors, but i really liked the raw look of the wood on this one. the size is great too.

SO cute---i totally should have bought this for my sons room, but i already have several accent pillows, and i didn't want to go overboard. isn't the cross stick detail on the edge of the arrow darling?

this would look so great tucked in a bookcase for some color, OR on a nightstand to corral some of the junk that we all need--chapstick, some pens, lotion, etc...

the proportions and fun red color make this lamp a great choice. 
it would look so great in a kids room...i can picture it in a boys nursery, with a color scheme of greys
and navy blue and tans. 

this chair is nearly identical to the marie chair from home decorators that i have used in several
design plans. it has a classic shape that can blend with just about any decor.

have you spotted anything great at tj maxx lately?

  2. Have I spotted anything great at TJ maxx lately?!
    On every visit!
    I found this gorgeous chair a few weeks ago- the finish on the wood for the arms and legs was weathered gray and the back and seat were a beautiful linen with script on it- I cannot stop thinking about it!

    2. it sounds super pretty! there are times when i spot something, and can't stop thinking about it too---i usually drive back and see if i can spot it again. i have been burned enough times to know that when i see something i love, i BUY it.

  4. Love that last chair….what a versatile piece. I just strolled through a TJs this afternoon and spotted a huge square orange and cream chevron pouf for $39.99…it would be so perfect for the kids' space in my basement! Alas, I am on a spending freeze :)

    1. we'll--tj maxx owns home goods, and in many cases the stores are connected, so i just like to call it tj maxx, but i uses they are separate stores.

  6. TJ Maxx is one of my favorite places to treasure hunt. Love the pillow! The chairs are really stylish! I don't know how long the white coffee table would be white in my house...how do you clean that thing?

  9. It's official...your TJ Maxx is way cooler than mine. While my local TJ Maxx has some nice things, your store has really interesting stuff.
