My Notting Hill: Happy Little Impulse Buy!

Happy Little Impulse Buy!

After Alison of My Little Happy Place posted about Nate Berkus' HSN upholstered stool I impulsively decided I needed two. The price is only $119 but if you love it, you'd better hurry, as she mentioned today that it's almost sold out. Don't know where my 2 stools are going yet, but I'm happy with this impulse buy.

Have you made any impulse buys lately that you're happy about??

Connie in Hartwood said...: Impulse buys have been some of my BEST buys, so I totally know where you're coming from with these new stools of yours.

Since you asked, my latest spur-of-the-moment splurge was a Craig's List corner cupboard for our dining room. It's solid wood (ugly color, tho) and the perfect size for the spot ... now to find the exact right color of smoky blue green to make it dazzle ... Olympic's Scarborough is the current front runner.

Have a great weekend!; February 4, 2011 at 2:35 PM
Unknown said...: I have it and I love it! I bought one for my vanity area. But it will eventually move to the living room so I should probably buy a second one.; February 4, 2011 at 2:44 PM

alison giese Interiors said...: Thanks for the sweet mention, Michelle - those cool babies are now out-of-stock, and I never was able to get them ordered. I'll be ready to jump if/when they restock!

Please DO post yours, and do a little product review when you receive them.

P.S. - My security word is: bionate - ironic, huh? (Buy a Nate!); February 7, 2011 at 1:59 PM
Dumbwit Tellher said...: I'm envious; a stellar impulse buy and as of tonight sold out. These are classics. I've got one more in college, I don't get impulse buys much anymore, but I'm gearing up for the day!
