I like to consider myself an interior designer of sorts, but I've always loved finding an awesome bargain. Whether I'm searching for new pieces of wall art or looking for big pieces of furniture for the house, I like to find nice things for a steal of a deal. That's why when we were searching for a new place this summer, I knew I wanted a Big Lots nearby so it could be decorated well without breaking the bank. Luckily, we found the perfect house with a Big Lots only a few blocks away and since styles and assortment vary by store, I'm glad the location by us is an awesome one with a HUGE furniture department.

With one of my favorite stores within walking distance, I'm always finding awesome deals and grabbing new things for our place. Our fridge is stocked full of water from Big Lots, we snack on some of the awesome foods we find there, and we even redecorate on a regular basis with all of the adorable stuff I find there!

After we moved into the new place, I knew it was time to start redecorating with the help of Big Lots. Our house just wasn't feeling like us anymore and I wanted something more neutral and casual, yet still chic.

We've had an over sized ottoman for a few years now and while it's made an amazing table, I was ready to try something new. While I didn't go too far from the original concept, the open feel of this Espresso Ottoman from Big Lots is perfect. Plus, I get to decorate with little succulents and other pretty little things on the bottom part of the bench.

We also bought 6 pillows because they have an AMAZING deal on their home decor items right now and well, because I may be a bit of a pillow-lover. I stocked up on some of the most adorable designs, fluffy and modern - two things I need more of in my life. With frilly, fluffy pillows in cream and tan and a wonderful modern cream and tan printed pillow, I think I found the perfect neutral shades that blend perfectly with our home and our couch.

To add some nice little final touches on our living room makeover, I added a dreamy glass candle holder with a wonderful vanilla candle as well as a pot for succulents underneath - I have yet to plant the succulents but I think I'll work on that this week in between visits to Big Lots! I also added some wall decor and I'm still trying to decide on what to do with the rest of the walls in the room.

I've been going through stages with our living room and I was really unsure of what to do with all of  the wall space. I think I like the simplicity of the starburst mirrors and may add a canvas or two on the other wall and leave my simple, modern living room the way it is.

Now that I've shared how I completely redecorated our living room in one quick visit to Big Lots, I'd love to hear what you have your eye on at your Big Lots store? I'm thinking our next purchase will include one of the beautiful, detailed headboards they sell or maybe some more wall art for the rest of the house; with all of the items they carry, I never know what my next Big Lots inspired project will be! I'm so excited by the possibilities, I can't even...
