I know…I know.
It’s easy to bash Walmart regarding its emphasis on value rather than style. We all know that the company had aligned itself to be the anti-thesis of Target-chic. However, over the last few months, I have noticed a very odd trend on Walmart.com in particular……they are stocking some really cute (and affordable) items. While many of the”cute” items I have seen are only available online, the merchandise mix as of late has incorporated on-trend colors and interesting patterns at really great prices.
I blame blogger bad boy, Decor Demon, for turning me onto Walmart’s metamorphosis with his brilliant Christmas post.
Honestly, everything in the picture is from Walmart .... well the dog isn't but you get the point

He found hip, trendy and affordable holiday decorations and whipped himself up a Christmas Wonderland that made me jealous. So jealous in fact that I went out and scoured two different Walmart stores to find the white Christmas tree in the above picture. Thanks to my tenacity and lack of morals (I had to steal the tree out of a cart of an old lady. It wasn’t a proud moment but you gotta do what you gotta do), I was able to snag the tree along with a slew of half-priced decorations for pennies!
Thanks to another blogger, the suave gent behind Mr. Goodwill Hunting I was introduced to Walmart bedding. Honestly, it’s no worse than the stuff at Target, but again the patterns are modern and the color palette is on point! Honestly, Walmart.com is killing me right now, so I figured I would share the items getting my “nod of approval” (as it that means anything to y’all)…..
1) Divatex Diamond 250 Thread Count Duvet Mini Set, Spice: $29.88-$39.88 2) Melrose Adobe Fleece Rug: $30-$93 3) Hometrends Marmon Decorative Pillow: $13.00 4) Recycled Magazine with Gold Thread Round Mirror: $38.88 5) Correlle Vive Glass Ribbons & Swirls 16-piece Dinnerware Set: $39.97
I have ordered the Divatex bedding and am waiting on it to arrive. Once I get it, I will give you the deal-o on whether it is a hit or a miss. But until then, I would love to hear from anyone who has ordered any home decor from Walmart.com that they are in love with….inquiring minds want to know! Well, actually I am just nosy and like getting email, but that is besides the point………
