The Decoration

Our newest Sponsor's mission is simple:

And they want you to do it at a price that you can afford.

(Music to my ears!)

That is why BULX is the internet's best source for luxury home improvements at private sale prices. Think of BULX as an online outlet store for all of the coolest sinks, faucets, toilets, flooring, and moldings on the market.

For the amount of money you might spend on low- to mid-range fixtures at one of the large national retail stores, you can upgrade your home with top-quality, stylish products. All of the products BULX offers have been hand-selected based specifically on its timeless design and high-quality production.


Still not convinced?

Here is a cool video that Matt put together about BULX...



So if you have been thinking about upgrading that dingy bathroom (goodbye, pink sink!) or your outdated kitchen lately, BULX is the only way to go!

Here is how it works:

Starting each weekday at noon, a new 4-day sale begins for a new line of products. But once the sale is over, or once a product has sold out - those deals are gone for good!

So if you love it, you better grab it!

Here is a sample of the products that will be on sale this week...



As if their prices weren't good enough already (most products are offered at 75% off of retail!) BULX is giving away a $150 Gift Certificate to one lucky reader of It's The Little Things...

Did you see that?

$150 to spend as you wish!

Matt has put together a list of ways that you can enter, and as you will see, you can go as little or as big as you want - the sky is the limit on how many times you can enter. It all comes down to how badly you want it!

6. Invite your friends to BULX (see how here) - one entry for each friend invited - this is where the sky is the limit - the more you invite, the more entries you receive!

And be sure to let them know you are visiting from It's The Little Things...
(ITLT for short!)

It is completely free to sign up (Will and I each joined!) and membership will give you access to some of the most incredible home improvement deals on the web!

If you have yet to discover Maya and her blog, Completely Coastal, well then...you're just plain missing out!

It is one of my favorites.

Oh - who cares!

I'm saying it...

Completely Coastal is one of my favorite blogs! It is one of my go-to spots to browse and gain endless amounts of beachy inspiration.

Here are a few images to tease you with, and a glimpse into what you will find when you visit Completely Coastal...

(Could I see myself living there? Oh yeah!)

Maya's old wooden door...transformed into art - sitting pretty next to her weathered oars.

Gorgeous images of coastal homes...

and book reviews to gain even more insight into living life on the coast

(even if you don't)...

She does the leg work for you, finding beach house decor to fit even the most discriminating coastal style...

A little about Maya, in her own words:

If you have never paid Maya a visit (or even if you have), head over to Completely Coastal to see what's new. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

But wait...

there's more!

Maya is hosting a giveaway that you're not going to want to miss.

Head over to Completely Coastal to see Maya's Giveaway from Artist Shari Curtiss who runs an Etsy Shop called Beach Grass Cottage.

Enter for your chance to win a $40 Gift Certificate.

My favorites from Beach Grass Cottage:

these solid wood Beach Buoys...

and this gorgeous Seashell Picture Frame with Shark Eye Beach Shells...

There are many more items to choose from, but you'll have to visit Maya to get the whole scoop.

And just in case you can't seem to think of a place in your home to set a wooden buoy or a seashell frame...I can! So go ahead and throw your entry in the hat for me!

(kidding!)

Enjoy your visit to Completely Coastal and...

It is my pleasure to introduce the newest sponsor at
It's The Little Things...

And let me tell you, you're in for a treat!

When Eileen, of Leen The Graphics Queen, contacted me to let me know that she would like to be a sponsor, I was thrilled! Eileen makes vinyl wall decals for your home and runs a very successful Etsy shop.

I'm just going to go ahead and confess...
I cannot pick a favorite item.

She has made some really cool designs!

you are a better decision maker than I am!
