Lissa Lowe + Lowe's?

Nope, it's not nepotism. Lissa Lowe is over at Lowe's HQ for a stint, taking a fresh look the company's in-house home decor brands, and making recos during my stay. 

Betcha' didn't know that the cute powder-coated turquoise plant stand (Garden Treasures) and that mix+match fillable glass table lamp with studded drum shade (allen+roth) seen here are both exclusively sold at Lowe's....Under $50 each!

Wow. I didn't. Not until now.

Love that margin-driven private brands housed within this expansive chain of retail home improvement stores are stepping up the style game for all of us budget-conscious DIYers out there.

Now that's what I call a door opener!
