If you know me, you know I love shopping on Etsy. That’s probably because up until about a year ago, my full-time job was managing a shop on Etsy. So I know very well how much every single sale means to the shop owners and how many of them look forward to this time of the year, because they rely on the extra sales that tend to come in on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday.

I included a range of items that would make fun & unique gift ideas. From a set of vintage coupes to dried mini bouquets (a set of three!), to a travel print for your friend that’s a Francophile and definitely watched Emily in Paris more than once.

Who else finds it nearly impossible to spot stylish cat products when out and about shopping?!

It can be tough to find cat scratchers, cat towers, AND ESPECIALLY litter boxes, that are not complete and total eyesores. I’ve spent the last few months slowly making a note of stylish cat products that I’ve come across and I have finally compiled them all to share!

The cat products we currently use:

Cat Scratcher — We use this cat scratcher and our cats love it! We have two in the living room near our sofa and one hanging near the kitchen. I really appreciate scratchers that can be hung as well as kept on the ground. We also recently got one of these, and though cardboard scratchers can cause a mess, cats usually LOVE them, especially if they’re large like this.

Litter box — Our cats used to use a Litter Robot and it was life-changing. When you have multiple cats, it’s suggested to use multiple litter boxes, so we had two for the longest time. However, since the Litter Robot self cleans all the time, we kept it to the one. Now, we have two of these large top entry litterboxes. Top entry boxes are the best for keeping litter from getting everywhere.

Cat Bed — Our cats have yet to connect with a cat bed, though we tried with this cute option from Cat Person.

Cat bowls — We use our regular cereal bowls from Year & Day, however, we need to upgrade to bowls that are better for their posture and splatter control (our cats are on a 100% wet food diet).

Scratchers — not all are created equally in the hearts and minds of cats. It’s important to test out different scratchers if your cat doesn’t take to a particular one. Some cats love the carpeted ones, some the cardboard styles. Still, our cats are so wild for the heavily woven styles similar to those linked below, that I think they’re a pretty safe bet.

Cat bowls & cat bowl stations — sure, you can use standard bowls for this (as we do), but I’ve found that the higher off from the ground your bowls are, the more comfortable your cats are able to eat, and the less mess they will make.

Cat beds & perches — cats LOVE to be on high ground and they like to curl up in hidden corners. Still, some kitties just want a comfy spot to curl up in, so i tried to include a little bit of everything here.

Litter Boxes & litter box furniture — oof it’s never easy finding a litter box solution if you want sometime inconspicuous. I managed to find a few fun options for when you’re lacking in room, but don’t want a big litter box taking up precious floor space. I’ve also recently been introduced to litter boxes with entry at the top. Apparently they’re better at controlling the mess around a litter box aka the trail of litter that inevitably follows every visit to the box.

Kitty towers & hammocks — Did i mention cats love to climb and especially like to have a nice high perch to preside over?! They love the security of being off the ground and I don’t blame them. Speaking of which, I’m currently in the market for a window hammock for Kiki.

Pretty much ever since we moved to Brooklyn 5 years ago, I’ve been enamored with the interior architecture of historic Brownstones and townhomes here. In our own apartment, I’ve tried to decorate with that architecture in mind, and bring in elements that I felt would only enhance the Parisian decorating style that I love so much. These elements include a mantel and most recently, a Pier Mirror. Now that we have our mantel, I want to bring in an overmantel mirror to layer into our already styled mantel. I have found SO many gems on my search, and I’m excited to share the keywords I use to search, the websites they’re most often found on, and of course, links to some of the best ones on the market right now.

My go-to resources for finding mirrors include Rubylane, Chairish, Liveauctioneers, Etsy, eBay, Anthropologie, Wayfair, and good ol’ Google Shopping.

When it comes to searching, you want to use a combination of the following terms —

1. gilded

2. giltwood

3. ornate

4. French

5. Parisian

6. overmantel mirror

7. mantel mirror

8. buffet mirror

9. antique gold mirror

10. Victorian mirror

Something to keep in mind as you search, especially if you find one that you love but it’s not in the finish you want, is you can always paint, spray paint, or use Rub n Buff to get the gilded look. I wouldn’t recommend doing this on an antique piece unless the original finish is in bad shape. However, so many new styles that are more affordable would great candidates!

The mirrors linked below are a mixture of antique, vintage and new. They’re all gilded gold, but many also come in silver, and the shapes and sizes vary. I tried to add in a mix of price ranges, so there’s something for every budget.

I’ve spent the weekend plotting our living room redesign for which I will share plans for very, very soon! While looking for inspiration for the design, I’ve naturally found myself window shopping online to help inspire me to bring about some change.

I have spent many hours scouring the below sites for decor inspiration, and they all have MDW sales on now! Happy shopping, my friends. : )

We’ve had our coffee table now for about 2.5 years and still love it so much. It’s asked about ALL of the time and solidified my love of round coffee tables, especially with sectionals. Still, I spilled 100% acetone on ours a few months ago (maybe avoid doing your nails at the coffee table eek) and so I feel like we may replace ours sometime in the near future. That got me thinking that I should do a coffee table round up, not just so I can start planning our living room changes, but also because it’s fun to share some of my favorites on the market right now!

I tried to include a variety of shapes and materials, as well as price ranges. I’m drawn to wood and circular or rounded styles, so naturally, you’ll see a lot of those added below. I’m especially partial to the plaster styles though. hubba hubba.

Many of the tables linked below are on sale right now! Which is your favorite?!

1. Chunky Plaster Coffee Table from Oken House Studios

2. Wooden oval table from the Leanne Ford collection at Crate and Barrel. This whole collection makes me want to cry happy tears.

3. For those looking for more color in their lives. From Urban Outfitters Home.

4. No joke, I want everything from Industry West. That’s probably why I’ve included three different styles from their site to this round-up. Remember, these are all 20% off!

5. One of the more affordable options and in the builder grade category at West Elm.

6. Yep, I still love terrazzo. Love this piece from Pottery Barn.

No 8. For those that want a little more glam in their lives. This mirrored coffee table is on sale at Urban Outfitters Home.

No 9. Probably my favorite coffee table option on Industry West. I love the unique shape and both sizes it comes in. Would be incredible to get both and display as pictured.

10. Sarah Ellison Studio has created SO many beautiful pieces, including this rattan table with brass details.

11. Another affordable piece from West Elm. I love the minimal look to this coffee table.

12. Sarah Ellison Studio strikes again with this glass topped table.
