This installment of In the Market For is a slight diversion from the norm in that I broke the $50 price limit, since this one features home furnishings. I tried to pick great rugs, night stands, chairs, duvets, tables, etc. at good prices (but not necessarily under $50)...
Read MoreI'm here with another installment of In the Market For, a series featuring affordable finds of a particular trend or theme. This week's roundup is near and dear to my heart, mostly because of my knack for home decor and design on a budget.
