Deal of the Week: Poppy Bedspread from Urban Outfitters

When I bought my new house a year and a half ago I had a lot of bedding to buy. My interior designer tempted me with tales of custom-made bedding, but carpet was our first budget priority, so the custom stuff had to go on the wish list and I had to find a way to make do with what I could find at the stores. Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Home Goods (all the same company) are excellent sources for designer bedding at low prices, but it's hit or miss-- if you need something immediately they may not have the size or color you want.

Here's a better place to search for chic but inexpensive bedding when you want a designer look but need something right away-- Urban Outfitters. This Asian Poppy Tapestry bedspread is so cool I wish it went with the paint in my master bedroom, and at a full price of $32 it's not only a deal, it's a steal.
