It happened late on Saturday afternoon, it was one of those disastrous family trips to the shops that ends in tears, tantrums and more money spent than was budgeted for JUST SO WE CAN ALL GET OUT OF THE SHOPPING CENTRE ALIVE.
We were in Kmart, my toddler was mid-tantrum on the shop floor, my husband had bailed to find socks, and on my way to disown collect my unruly child, I did a double take. Wait, was that…it couldn’t be…were those kitchen stools really only $29? I’ve seen them in designer stores for much more than that. I squeezed in a quick road-test on the stool, and made a mental note to come back to buy two for the place we’re currently renting.
I haven’t been able to get to back to the shops without my toddler in tow, but then the Kmart catalogue arrived on my desk and in the mail. I haven’t been this excited about a furniture catalogue since I was 14, and dreaming up future interiors while pouring over the biannual Ikea shopping bibles. And I wasn’t alone, the shiny brochure got passed around from desk to desk in the Mamamia office with cries of, ‘I want that,’ ‘No, I want that.’ Behold, the 15 things we want to buy at Kmart right now. Just don’t get there before I get a chance to, okay?

4. Knitted Ottoman – Natural $29.

I've never seen so many negative comments for an article geez its just furniture & home deco. Great ideas to add to what you already have I thought. I'm going to check it out tonight. So now I guess I'm a horrible person???
Ick. Wouldn't let Kmart pay me $6 to put that rubbish in my house. Who the eff wants to sit on a metal chair drinking their kale smoothie out of a jar that they paid for that had no contents!
Half dipped, half finished, whatever trend is going to pass by and all this is going to end up in landfill like all the other lava lamps. If you don't like the polished just buy second hand. Or put some tape around the legs of your old table and paint them with the leftover wall paint that is going to sit in your shed for 30 years
