This past summer a Garden Ridge opened up near my house. I was super excited! I thought they would have such amazing deals!
Turns out... it IS a good store, but not great. They have good deals on some things, but others, not so much. It's worth a look if you need new lamps or things to adorn the walls of your home. I needed both, so we found a few good deals.
The best find was something that I had no intention of buying when I walked in the store...
But I didn't use them for placemats. I put them on my bedroom WALL!
I was looking at some of the metal, iron, aluminum art to use in our master bedroom, but everything was at least $10 - $50 for a small 12" x 12" piece. With that size I'd need at least 3 of them, so that just was too much. (Since I had already bought lamps!)
My wonderful mother was looking with me and saw the placemats. She picked up this cute round placemat made of felt with ornate cut-out designs and said, "You could use this on your wall."
I thought, "Genius!" I love it! It's exactly the style I wanted, and best of all...
It's only $2.00!!!!! PERFECT!!!
I bought 3 of them.
They are the perfect accent to the small wall, beside the window, above the comfiest rocking chair ever!
And the rest is History.....
Have you ever used something for an unintended purpose, but it was the perfect thing for you!? Post it below in the comments! I'd love to know!
I saw those placemats at TJ Maxx yesterday, $2!!!
