Promising review: "This is a really great faux plant. It has convinced a number of my friends and family! The color and pattern is beautiful, natural-looking, and the pot it comes in is small enough to fit easily into a better-looking container, or plant stand. The plant itself is tall, full, and very realistic. It was also packaged incredibly well! The only drawback was the initial plastic smell upon initially opening. There are a few leaves that have small, plastic spots on them, but they're rarely noticeable unless you're super close to the plant." —Kiley

Promising review: "This mirror is so pretty and much less costly than a furniture store mirror! It's classy, unique, and looks great on the wall in any orientation. I used the strongest 3M Command Strips to hold it up. Just make sure the allowable weight is more than the weight of the mirror. Then you don't even need to use a level, since the mirror is asymmetrical. I love how it has no frame, but the black backing is visible from the sides and looks great. Get this mirror!" —Foomin

Promising review: "One of my favorite B&BW candles for myself or for a gift. The fragrance is warm and cozy, not too heavy. Brings to mind that well-worn flannel shirt that belongs to my husband and being all cozy on a cold winter's night, snuggled up to watch TV." —Mel51

Promising review: "This is a very classy-looking diffuser that goes great with the decor in my house. It’s white, stone, and somewhat discreet. It’s not too big, so it doesn’t look bulky in a room, but it’s also not too small where it doesn’t diffuse the scent throughout the space. It was very easy to set up, and my favorite feature about this whole thing, aside from the looks, is that it is very quiet! Great purchase!" —Tambra Riddle

Promising review: "My first time ever buying pillow covers and I’m so glad I went with these!!! The style and quality are over the top. I get compliments on them every time I have guests over. The best part is that I didn’t need to pick out each pillow case separately and do a ton of guessing games because they’ve done the hardest part for you — put together a very nice, cohesive, and homey look and feel. I can’t stop staring and admiring my pillows every time I walk into my living room." —Christine S

Promising review: "I love-love-love these lamps! I recently bought red (more burgundy-like in color) leather furniture and was looking for burgundy lampshades that would go with the furniture and our area rug. Well, I struck out finding shades, but struck gold finding these gems. They're just the right height as they don't take up the entire end table. The lamps are very stylish — not your typical garden variety table lamp. And the leather base is very nice. These lamps are a lovely complement to the living room, and the price can't be beat. Amazon comes through for me again!" —Deborah Matthews

Promising review: "I purchased this for hand towels in the bathroom. It's sturdy. It does not rust or show signs of it being cheap. It’s bigger than I expected and can easily fit four hand towels. It looks nice in the bathroom and looks way more expensive than what it was bought for. I have gotten compliments on it. I'm very glad I bought it and have recommended it to others." —Valerie P

Promising review: "I love them!!! What I was looking for were gold and white mirrors. The only ones I could find were expensive and had that cheap gold look. I use these mirrors on my wall in the bathroom. They look better than the picture, very elegant and antique and expensive. I purchased two of them because of the size, which turned out perfect. I would buy again." —Trevor Lang

Promising review: "I never could get my old toaster clean, and it was getting sad. I do not like sad toast. This charmer is lovely to look at, and does a great job making toast that is just the right shade of lovely brown. A chart comes with the toaster. I find I needed to set it a little higher to get the toasty goodness I desired. Goes beautifully with my vintage glass dishes. I feel so retro that I may need to invest in a frilly apron." —Margaret C.

Promising review: "I love this rug. I needed a rug for the front entrance that was washable and pretty. This was it!! It's soft and beautiful, yet durable and washable!! I have not washed it yet, but I’m sure it must be hung up to dry. It's very expensive looking!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This looks really nice in person. The size is perfect for sugar, salt, coffee, and pastas. I love it. It make my kitchen look more professional haha. The ball cover design is cute too. The glass feels strong enough not to break but also not too heavy to hold with one hand. Overall great product. I would buy it again." —Song

Promising review: "Everything you’d expect it to be. Such a delicate and elegant feature for all us moon children out there. This shop is also exceptional in everything they do (at least from the three products I’ve bought from them so far, they are extremely thoughtful in everything from packaging to follow-up, plus knowing I’m supporting a woman-owned small business is really the cherry on top of personal satisfaction besides the great product itself. Highly recommend 👌🙌👍" —fernanda kaufmann

Promising review: "LOVE THESE. I didn't want something too sheer or lightweight, or heavy and dark; these are perfect. They have a beautiful drape, weight, and body to the fabric. There's a texture in the panels that dresses them down from a voile sheer, but they're not burlap-style rustic — they're refined and soft to the touch. They're well made; there were no flaws or weird smells in my order. I gave them a quick wash, a light dry, and they came out wrinkle-free and with no shrinkage. I ordered the taupe shade, and they're a perfect dark-beige/light-café-au-lait color. I highly recommend." —RKEldon

Promising review: "I am beyond thrilled with these curtains. They are very soft and solid material (think heavyweight upholstery). LOVE THEM!!! They do keep the light out and help keep the room noticeably cooler. The windows get full sun all day; this room gets hot in summer, and the curtains make it so much nicer. I'd give these curtains a 10 if I could." —Angelia Olson

Promising review: "What a gorgeous piece of practical and artistic furniture. I always seem to need bookshelves for my growing home library but didn’t want to just put a boxy bookcase against the limited wall space I have. This book tree is a fantastic solution. It allows me to display books in a unique manner. I can easily find the book I need. It was not difficult to assemble, and it took less than 20 minutes to have it installed." —Sunshine Mel

"I have two of these shelves in white/oak, and they're just what I was looking for. Sure, they're more expensive than the units you can get at Ikea, but you can tell the difference in quality. Last time my mom visited (oh, prequarantine life), she actually asked if they came with the apartment because they fit so well in my living room." —Chelsea Stuart, BuzzFeed editor
Promising review: "I love this shelf! I needed something tall to fill empty space and store books and plants. Each shelf is very heavy duty, so I can't imagine any bowing would occur in the future, unless it's got too much humidity. Before we put weight on the shelves, it had gaps between itself and the wall, but it balanced itself out after adding books. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shelf. It's definitely going to last longer than anything you could buy at Ikea, and it has VERY little wasted/unusable space. Just do it! I put it together myself, but I had to hold it steady/leveled while hubby secured it to the wall. It's not impossible to do alone, but get a second person to at least hold it still for you." —Mrs K3NNYB0Y

The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless, so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation yourself. Each unit runs off three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!), and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
PS: If you're going for an antique look but don't have the budget to buy vintage, I saw a TikToker DIY these with some gold Rub 'n Buff metallic finish and an old makeup brush, and it looked truly incredible!
Promising review: "For the price, you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over, and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this loveseat!!! I was so afraid to get something so rich in color, but it gets a ton of compliments, and it’s one of my favorite pieces!!

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning and everything I wanted — looks way better and more vivid IRL. I almost didn't buy this because the colors look so dull and old-school in the pics, and I wanted a more modern glam look, and this was perfect. Took two of us to install and three-ish hours with breaks. Took the advice of previous reviewers and bought premixed paste from Home Depot. Definitely don't go easy on the paste; you need enough on the wall to make it easier to adjust and align. Don't worry too much about the bubbles; once it dries down, it all adheres nicely. My guess is the bubbles are excess paste. The quality of this paper is thick and not sheer at all. However, I do think it will look nicer if there's a lighter color under it to begin with. For the price, this is definitely worth it and then some. I would have paid much more for this had I seen it in person. You wont regret it. :)" —Almond Joy

Promising review: "I’m a huge fan of these tiles! Used them in my kitchen as a placeholder while I save up for real tiles. I will say, I don’t feel the urgency to get real tiles since these fool people pretty good. No one realizes they are sticky tiles until I tell them. Basically, peeling the sticker off of the back was the hardest part of the whole process. I had to remove some tiles that had been installed a year ago, and it came off without taking up the wall just make sure to heat it up real good with a blow-dryer. Perfect for renters or if you just want an easy/affordable DIY to update your space." —Jessasmall
