Home Decor Top Sellers

10 – Pottery Barn Francesca Beaded Chandelier

The new chandelier we added to our bedroom for our master bedroom makeover last year is one of my favorite fixtures in our home! It made the list of top sellers, coming in at #10!

MASTER BEDROOM SOURCES: Similar Bed | Wood Bead Chandelier | Bench | Linen Pillows (color: Gunmetal) | Embroidered Pillows | Cane Nightstands | USB Ceramic Lamps | Rug | Decorative Manzanita Branch | Spotted White Vase

9 – African Recycled Beads

Although these beads aren’t the exact ones I own, they look identical and are a fraction of the price I paid for mine at a boutique in California! There’s so many ways to decorate with these beauties and I love that they come in some many color and size options! We have several versions sprinkled all around our home!

MASTER BEDROOM NIGHTSTAND DETAILS: Cane Nightstands | USB Ceramic Lamps | Similar Glass Beads | Wood Potted Maidenhair Fern | “Surf Shack” | “Dream Decor” | “Beautiful”

8 – DASH & ALBERT Striped Indoor/Outdoor Rug

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Dash & Albert rugs, and this striped one in our entryway is no exception! Most of their indoor/outdoor rugs are virtually indestructible and can even be hosed off and bleached if need be! I have yet to have a single stain adhere to any of ours yet! You can find more sizes of this particular rug here, as well.

ENTRYWAY SOURCES: Striped Rug | Chandelier | Cabinet | Mirror | Lemon Tree

7 – Riviera Counter Stool

These counter stools continue to be a top seller again this year! Not only do they look great in so many styles of kitchens, they are built incredibly well and are a breeze to keep clean! They go on sale a few times a year, so if you have interest in them and can wait, I would try and get them at that time!

KITCHEN SOURCES: Counter Stools | Basket Pendant Lights | Vase | Faux Greenery | Runner Rug | Hutch Details

6 – Darlana Knock-Off Light Fixtures

We have the Darlana knock-off pendant in our mudroom and the real versions in our entryway and dining room. I actually wrote two posts about these dupes that you may find helpful if you’re interested in any of the shapes/sizes/finishes of this light fixture. All the details are in my posts on the Darlana Pendant Look for Less and my Review of the Best Knock-Off Darlana Pendant Lights.

5 – Walmart USB Lamp

This USB lamp is one of my most favorite affordable finds of the year! I had looked at a similar option at Pottery Barn prior to finding this one, but it was nearly 10x the price! Not only does this one look great, but you can also charge your phone and other accessories through the USB port on the back side of the base! Although we have them in our master bedroom, it’s also a great option for guest spaces, so your guests aren’t having to search everywhere for an available outlet!

MASTER BEDROOM NIGHTSTAND DETAILS: Cane Nightstands | USB Ceramic Lamps | Decorative Manzanita Branch | Spotted White Vase

4 – Pottery Barn York Sofa & Sectional

Our sofas and sectionals are another reader favorite! We obviously loved our sofas so much that we invested in the sectional version for our den makeover. Kurtis didn’t even argue with me (what?!) because he loves our sofas so much too! You can read the exact specs on what we ordered and how they’ve held up over time our Pottery Barn Sofa Review and Pottery Barn Sectional Review posts!

LIVING ROOM SOURCES: Linen Sofas | Spindle Chairs (similar here) | Coffee Table | Leather Poufs | Bronze Linen Pillows | Striped Pillows | Similar Wood Chain | Vase | Faux Olive Stems | Gallery Wall Frames | Wood Dough Bowl | Lamps | Faux Olive Tree | Faux Fur Blanket – Restoration Hardware (old)

DEN SOURCES: Linen Sectional | Indoor/Outdoor Diamond Rug | Scallop Light Fixture | Coffee Table | Palm Tree Art | Jute Poufs | Ceramic Vase | Faux Greenery Stems | Small Striped Pillow | Wide Striped Pillow | Palm Print Pillow | Striped Throw | Roman Shades

3 – Brown Stripe Pillow

I always love a good Etsy find, and these striped pillows were exactly what I was looking for for fall! They’ve held up beautifully and the craftsmanship is great!

LIVING ROOM SOURCES: Linen Sofas | Spindle Chairs (similar here) | Coffee Table | Bronze Linen Pillows | Striped Pillows | Faux Olive Stems | Gallery Wall Frames | Wood Dough Bowl | Lamps

2 – Pottery Barn Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

My favorite faux fiddle leaf fig tree continued to be a top seller this year! If you haven’t seen my post yet, I shared the best faux fiddle leaf fig trees and how to make them look real. We have both the large and medium size of this tree and love them both so much!

FALL DINING ROOM SOURCES: Dining Table | Linen Dining Chairs | Striped Rug c/o from Dash & Albert | Chandelier (look for less here) | Velvet Pillows | Topiaries | Marble Lazy Susan | Abstract Art | Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree | Ceramic Planter

1 – Threshold Windowpane Wool Pillows

Turns out you guys loved these pillows as much as I did! They come in four color options, and I loved them so much because they have a zipper closure! So frequently with Target Pillows, they are sewn shut and I don’t always love their stuffing/inserts. But with these, I could easily unzip them and add my own inserts which immediately made them look so much more high-end! I loved them so much, I bought them in three of the four colors!

CHRISTMAS DEN SOURCES: Linen Sectional | Rug | Flocked Tree | Woven Tree Collar | Pom Blanket | Pom Pillow Cover (look for less here and here) | Plaid Pillow | Hand Block Pattern Pillow

Fashion Top Sellers

On the fashion side of things, following are the top 10 reader favorites!

10 – Børn Uchee Knee High Boot

It had been a few years since I bought a pair of boots, and I’m so excited I ended up buy this pair earlier this year! They’re still available in several colors and are on sale right now if you’re still on the hunt for a pair of gorgeous boots that are also super comfy!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Boots (Color: Rust Distressed Leather) | Quilted Fleece Jacket | Ditsy Floral Print Top | Skinny Jeans | Sunglasses | Tortoise Hoop Earrings

9 – J.Crew Leather Scalloped Peep-Toe Flats

I’m hoping these flats get re-stocked this year because they were one of my top favorite pairs last year! I want them in black if they become available!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Floral Top | Released Hem Jeans | Scalloped Flats | Earrings | Similar Purse

8 – Cut-Out Booties

These cut-out booties have been top sellers for a few years now! Not only are they super chic (and a great designer dupe), they come in several colors and are super comfy once you break them in!

OUTFIT SOURCES: Cableknit Mockneck Sweater | Boyfriend Jeans (old from J. Crew Factory) – similar here | Reversible Belt | Booties | Favorite Fall/Winter Cologne | Favorite Lip Liner (color is Pillowtalk) | Glossy Lipstick (color is Pillowtalk) | Gold & Crystal Hoop Earrings

7 – Long Colorblock Striped Cardigan

I shared this striped cardigan that I own in a Wednesday Watch List and love how easy it is to thrown on to run errands or go out to eat! I feel like the colors are more saturated than the stock photo (mine are more a true camel and true gray) but I love the length and the quality is great for the price! It’s perfect for travel days too!

6 – Crewneck Sweater with Jeweled Buttons

The sweater I shared in my Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas post is actually from last year, but when I shared this year’s version, it immediately became a top seller for the year! It comes in multiple color options, and the price is good now with the additional 40% off sale items (code EXTRA40)! It’s one of my favorite sweaters I own!

OUTFIT SOURCES: Similar Jewel Collar Sweater | Boyfriend Jeans (old from J. Crew Factory) – similar here | Wedge Heels (similar) | Velvet Hair Tie | Tortoise Hoop Earrings | Favorite Jo Malone Cologne | Similar Watch | Similar Clutch | Faux Olive Stems

5 – LOFT Bobble Knit Sweater

If you’ve read my blog for more than a minute, you know this bobble knit sweater was one of my favorite fashion finds of the year! I wore the camel colored version all fall, and then wore the ivory and black version through the holidays. Now I plan to put them both on rotation for the rest of the winter and early spring 🙂

OUTFIT SOURCES: Pom Pom Bobble Sweater | Black Baby Bootcut Jeans | High Heels | Velvet Hair Tie | Gold Starburst Drop Earrings | Favorite Jo Malone Cologne | Favorite Lip Liner (color is Kiss ‘N’ Tell) | Red Lip Stain (red trio set) | Tory Burch Bracelets(similar) | Faux Berry Juniper Branch Greenery

4 – Striped Maxi Dress

This pictures is nearly two years old, but I talked about this dress again earlier this year and it’s still a favorite! I actually ended up using scissors on mine a few months ago to take about two inches off the bottom (no need to hem with this fabric). It’s such an easy dress to throw on and still look polished! I’m in the “navy blue” (which look a bit more royal blue) and a size large! Also – it has pockets!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Striped Maxi Dress | Tassel Earrings (old from J. Crew Factory) | Wedge Platform Sandals

3 – J. Crew Button Collar Pullover Sweatshirt

Although I own this pullover sweatshirt in three colors (it’s that good!) I don’t have any pictures of my wearing it! Unfortunately it sold out super quickly, but I have it on my radar in case they restock any time soon!

2 –  Loveappella V-Neck Jersey Maxi Dress

This jersey maxi dress is my go-to every time we travel! I own it in two colors, it’s super comfy, and packs really well! The length is also great for the taller girls, so if you’re below 5’5″ or so and don’t want to wear heels, I’d recommend the petite sizing! It looks super cute knotted at the bottom too, if you don’t want to mess with petite sizing! And, if you don’t want to go sleeveless, I love it paired with a denim jacket!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Maxi Dress | Wedge Sandals | Earrings

1 – Raffia Earrings

I honestly don’t even remember where or when I shared these earrings (Wednesday Watch List maybe?) but I have several pairs and love them! They were my number one fashion seller by far! I love how many colors and styles they come in and the price is so hard to beat!

I hope you found these readers favorites for 2019 helpful! Have a great weekend!
