My Top Lowe’s Home Décor Picks

My Top Lowe's Home Décor Picks

Has anyone else felt like prices on secondhand items have skyrocketed in the past couple of years?! I still love to go antiquing and thrifting in person at my favorite local shops, but I’m finding more and more often that I have to leave empty-handed because everything is marked up well beyond my budget. It’s a disappointing development, but, happily, there are tons of options for new reproduction versions of the vintage mid-century shapes I love at a price point that I can actually afford. Keep scrolling for a roundup of vintage-inspired pieces I’m loving from Lowe’s right now.

My Top Lowe’s Home Décor Picks:

1. Accent Chair: The tapered shape of this side chair caught my eye, and I love the bold blue color of the upholstery.

2. Vanity Light: This light would instantly update the look of a dated bathroom vanity vignette.

3. Runner Rug: I adore the neutral color palette of this rug but that it still packs a punch thanks to that repeated linear pattern.

4. Bookshelf: I’m currently saving up to invest in this bookshelf myself! The slanted silhouette speaks to me.

5. Task Lamp: I’ve seen antique mid-century lamps that look just like this $70 lamp but go for hundreds of dollars more.

6. Media Cabinet: A good media cabinet is such a staple. I love all of the storage and the retro-inspired character of this one.

7. Wall Art: The perfect pop of color for any room in your house!

8. Floor Lamp: How cool is the woven shade on this curvy floor lamp? Also adding this to my personal wishlist now.

9. Side Table: I could picture this cutie side table looking great beside a side chair, sofa, or bed. It’s so versatile!

10. Velvet Sofa: I’m positively smitten with this sofa. Even better, it’s on sale for less than $1,000 now through March 13.

11. Linear Area Rug: This is such a cool take on ’70s style, but in modern materials that are easier to maintain than a true antique rug.

12. Coffee Table: The two-tone color palette of this coffee table drew me in right away.

Now, I know a lot of die-hard antiquing purists out there will skim right over this post because they can’t imagine investing in reproduction versions of mid-century art, furniture, and lighting, but I want to say right here, right now that there’s no shame in doing what realistically works for your home décor budget. I would invest in any of the items on that list above in a heartbeat because I know once I get the pieces into our 1960s home alongside our existing antique collection, the big picture effect would make me smile.

Joy isn’t necessarily just in the satisfaction of finding the perfect vintage piece for your home (although I do love that moment and hope to be able to afford it again soon!)—it’s about curating a look you love in your home, no matter the source or how much it cost. Buy what makes you happy within your own personal budget, and your home will ultimately feel like a really special space. Which piece are you eyeing from my list? Let me know in the comments!

Rabbit Air MinusA2 Air Purifier Review

It feels like spring outside this week, and I’m living for it. The birds are chirping, I’m able to drive with the windows down, I can skip grabbing a coat on my way out the door, and the trees have started to bloom. It’ll be back down into the 50s for the high later this week, so our current glimpse of spring is going to be brief, but I’ll take what little bits we can to get me mentally through the rest of winter.

The only bad thing about spring, of course, is allergies. John has always had terrible seasonal allergies, and I seem to be getting them more and more frequently myself as the years go by (and, I guess, as I age—boo). John can hardly walk outside in the spring without coming back in puffy-eyed and miserable. He always wears a mask while doing yard work, which helps, but we do generally have to limit our outdoor time during the height of allergy season.

It’s not just the outdoors where John’s allergies flair up, though. He’s pretty sensitive to indoor allergens, too, including the ones created by our brood of fur babes. As you may know, we have one rescue dog, and two rescue kittens, all of whom have free roam of the house (and our furniture). We’re constantly cleaning up after them, which is fine because they’re absolutely worth it, but it’s definitely a lot of work to maintain a clean home with three pets running around.

Our pets leave their pet fur and dander all over the house, including in the air, and it sometimes makes John feel pretty stuffy, especially at night. It’s nothing new for us, and we’ve tried many different air purifiers over the years, but we just recently added the most sophisticated air purifier yet to our collection, and it really has felt like a huge step up.

This is the MinusA2 Air Purifier from Rabbit Air. I had actually not heard of the brand before I was asked to partner with them for some Instagram content, but since taking a deep dive into their collection and now having had a chance to test out their product in person, I’m a huge fan. You can set this purifier on the ground if you want to be able to move it from space to space as needed, but I decided to wall-mount ours since I knew we wanted to keep it permanently in the sunroom. It was, happily, super easy to install (watch the process here on Instagram), and we love the stylish mod floating effect it created.

My main worry initially with this mid-size type air purifier was that it was going to be really loud and that it would overpower our TV-watching and dinner conversation since we do both in this space, but our MinusA2 is whisper quiet in reality. It very quietly and discreetly works behind the scenes to filter out 99.97% of airborne allergens and pollutants without producing any harmful byproducts. It can even detect the exact amount of pollutants in our room and adjust its speed accordingly so we’re getting the freshest air quality at all times.

It may realistically be too soon to tell if it’s working to manage our worst seasonal allergies, but so far so good! There has been no sneezing or stuffy noses, and we go in and out of this room pretty often to access the outdoors since this room leads right into our backyard (which is why we chose to put the purifier permanently in this space). I’ll definitely update this post if we have any problems, but if you don’t see any updates here now, you can be sure that our purifier is working like a charm to combat everyday allergens—both from outside and in. Isn’t she a beaut?! Click here for more info and to see if it’s the right air purifier for you and your home.
