EVERYTHING I'VE GOTTEN FOR OUR NEW (RENTAL) HOUSE

I've been wanting to do this blog post for a while, but until recently, all I'd really gotten was a bunch of bath mats and storage bins. As we add more things, I'll continue adding to this post because even though we moved in 3 months ago, we still have a decent amount of stuff to do! We've been waiting since September to get our tv mounted and it's been a whole mess but HOPEFULLY, that'll be done later next week (but my hopes aren't too high, considering our luck so far). I've basically been waiting on that to get done to finish decorating our living room area, so we currently have a lovely fancy couch, and at the other side of the room ... an outdoor sofa we don't know what to do with. So, it's been a PROCESS, to say the least. Maybe when it's all done, I'll do a little video tour or something... we'll see.

Anyways, since nobody asked about any of that, let's just get into this post!

We've gotten a decent amount of stuff from HomeSense, so I'll do my best to find something similar in looks / price (and I'll let you know when it's a similar item, rather than the exact one). Of course, nothing is sponsored and any images I use are taken from the website and do not belong to me.

ENTRYWAY

Bath mat: Wamsutta Duet 20" x 34" Bath Rug in Forest (not 100% sure if this is the exact one I have - I checked mine and there's no tag so if it isn't this, it's very very similar)

Hand towels: hometrends Solid Hand Towel

Candle: Peach Bellini (this isn't the candle I have but I got mine at a grocery store and can't find it online, so this is similar; also, BBW doesn't have a Canadian version of the site, so I have no idea if you can order from this site to Canada? I assume so but I've never tried so good luck if you do)
