10 Surprising Home Finds from Amazon
Recently I’ve received some really sweet messages thanking me for keeping my Amazon finds up-to-date. Amazon calls it a “storefront” but it’s really just lists, roundups, and images of things that catch my attention… and you know I love some good virtual home shopping & curating, especially budget-friendly finds. Anyway, I was thrilled to hear those have been helpful and it inspired me to share 10 of my favorite home finds from Amazon that may be surprising to you. You’d never guess some of these came from Amazon and I think you’ll also be pleasantly surprised at the price. Click through for 10 really great finds and to see how I use them throughout my house…
1 // Woven Tissue Box
This woven tissue cover is less than $8! I love the simplicity, the texture, and how it elevates something functional that needs to exist on the countertop. It comes in handful of colors- I have the greige.

2 // Pressed Glassware
A couple summers ago, we were hosting a backyard dinner party and came up with a delicious taco spread. Of course I had to make my famous pitcher margaritas and on a whim (hours before our party) purchased a couple sets of these affordable pressed glasses for cocktails. They’re $29 for a set of six, are really beautiful, heavy in hand, ship quickly, and have become a glassware staple in our house over the years.

3 // Woven Cordless Roman Shades
These woven wood roman shades are one of my go-to windows. I love a layered look and these add the perfect amount of warmth & texture! They come in lots of sizes and are around $38 per shade. I also appreciate that they’re inside mount for a custom look.

4 // Sconces with Pleated Shades
Since sharing our maroon guest bedroom renovation, I’ve received a ton of questions about our bedside sconces…. mostly because they look pretty close to this expensive designer version from Visual Comfort. Those run $519, and my Amazon sconces were only $27! I did use some Rub N Buff to update the finish to an antique brass, but they were well worth the effort and savings.

4 // Laundry Room Shelf
We’ve yet to renovate our laundry room because it’s moving to a different location in our home, but I did give it a little update while we’re saving up for the big renovation down the road. Since then, I’m constantly receiving requests for the source link for our floating shelf with the brass hanging rod. It’s functional, gorgeous, has the perfect brass patina & warm wood tone- and it’s only $58. This one always sells out quickly!

6 // Toiletry Dispensers
I love a streamlined aesthetic when it comes to functional items. Rather than mismatched or random shampoo & body wash bottles, I really enjoy having toiletry dispensers in the bathrooms throughout our home. It’s a simple change that makes a big visual difference. I have a couple different favorites (both from Amazon)– one set in our guest bathroom and one set in our basement bathroom.

7 // Dog Toy Basket
Here’s something I don’t think I’ve shared before, but we’ve been using this dog toy basket for 5-6 years… since moving here from our previous home. Our dogs are both toy-driven dogs. They LOVE toys and I hate seeing them scattered throughout the house. I like keeping them corralled in a designated spot, and Cash & Crosby know where to find them…. now if only we could train them to pick up after themselves and drop the toys back into the basket. Ha! In all honesty, I think we’re close. Cash can do it and Cros isn’t far behind.

8 // Deep Pocket Sheet Set
After struggling to make high-end sheets work on this bed, I finally gave up after reworking this room last month. The mattress used to live in our primary bedroom, but after upgrading to our sleep number, we moved our old mattress here. We wanted it to be extra comfy for guests, so we added a thick memory foam topper– which gets rave reviews from our friends & family. All of our existing (expensive and beautiful) sheet sets just weren’t working. Our dog & house sitter shrank one set (bless her for doing laundry though!), the other set wasn’t nearly deep enough and kept sliding off the mattress, and the third set we tried wouldn’t fit at all. I landed on these deep pocket sheets because they have 339,000 five star reviews… seriously! They’re really wonderful, fit perfectly, and are only $50. Our family asked where they could buy a set after visiting. Five stars from us!

9 // Glass Canisters with Sealed Lid
If you’re looking for functional kitchen storage, I highly recommend these glass canisters with lids that seal. They have a classic look, keep ingredients & pantry staples fresh, and a set of two cost $27. They also have a wide mouth for easy filling. I use them for flour, sugar, coffee beans, etc.

10 // Nero Marble Soap Dish
Last but not least, another item for the bathroom… I bought this nero marble pedestal soap dish purely based on aesthetics, but was skeptical because it was only $21. I wasn’t sure what the quality would look like, but it’s perfect! It has a timeless ogee pedestal base, great veining, and is ideal for elevating soap in the shower. It also makes a great gift, paired with your favorite soap bar.

I hope you enjoyed this post and seeing my finds styled throughout our house! Sometimes it’s tricky to tell what certain things from Amazon will look like, or how the quality will be in person. I find these types of reviews and images very helpful, so here’s to hoping this inspired you to save or snag some of my finds. Should we do this again someday? Maybe seasonal finds? In the meantime, you can always reference & follow my Amazon storefront for my top picks in real time. Have a great day!
