'Sale Into a New Year'

In 2010, you probably had the following good intentions: replace or discard old, outdated home accents like curtain rods, drapes and swags. But you never followed through.

This year, you can turn it all around. Stock up on home décor essentials with end-of-season stock now marked up to 50 percent off.

Wild About Fur

Go wild with this wild cat blanket

Embrace the exotic tribal trend without having to physically go on a wild safari. This wild cat faux fur blanket is a dynamic piece to sling over your couch or throw around your shoulders during cold winter nights. Especially if you’re drawn to classic décor, your guests will be in for a pleasant surprise.

Integrate this piece into almost any décor setting thanks to its mix of brown, white and black fur. Easy to wash, this versatile piece also comes in two small and large sizes.

Spare the Rod

Hannah Rust rod

If the last time you bought curtains rods were two or more presidential elections ago, consider yourself in dire need of an update. Often times you can change the entire look of a home space by changing one single simple item.

For a traditional touch, choose from this Renovation series of curtain rods in rounded, square and knob shapes. The Hannah Rust rod (above) is my personal favorite, with a rounded pearl finish and decorative band at the end. The Priscilla Antique Gold rod has a clear knob ending with antique gold rod. The Kingston Antique Brass and Westminister Bronze both have classic shapes and finishes.

Seeing Red

Pinstripe curtains in burgundy

Complete the look with a rich set of curtains, like this pinstripe curtain in a deep burgundy color. The crimson color brings a richness never before seen to your living room or bedroom.

The weighty curtains have a triple-weave design for insulation and blocking out unwanted noise and light. The set comes with two panels of 52”curtains with two different hanging options, depending on your preferences.

What are you waiting for? Time to sale into a new year!
