oh overstock

in a flurry of needing some different to happen in our kitchen, i ordered a bamboo roman shade from overstock to try... a quick inexpensive fix that makes the whole room feel pulled together and different enough to pacify me for a while.

curious about what other designers unearth on the massive discount site, i asked a few of my favorite bloggers for their top 10 overstock pics.

Cool post. I was sad though that the links on your pics and Erika's pics seem to be messed up... couldn't find the link for the couch you picked or some of the things Erika picked.

Betsy said...
