my monthly under $100 column for domino is now online! for september i decided to focus on hardware: knobs, hooks, hinges, pulls and much, much more. but instead of 20 pieces there are 30 great examples, ranging from vintage-style glass knobs and door bells to whimsical doorstoppers and antique hinges. click here to view the full selection of 30 designs- all available online and ready to buy. if you missed any of the other under $100 columns i’ve done over the past year just click here to browse the full series.

when i was putting together this month’s under $100 column for domino we thought it would be fun to try for under $1 finds. but after a week of searching i thought it just couldn’t be done. so i went with 25 products under $10. but now it looks like my friend katy elliott has done the impossible- a great list of products under $1! she’s always got her eyes on something gorgeous so i was psyched to see her list live on domino’s site. click here to check out katy’s incredibly budget-friendly product roundup.

every month i round up a selection of themed products for domino- all under $100. but this month we set the bar even higher (or lower) and the roundup is all under $10. i was a little worried that i wouldn’t be able to find much for that price range but surprisingly there were some great pieces out there. so click here to check out this month’s selection of 20 great products under $10. if you missed any of the previous month’s under $100 columns you can click here to see the full series.

[quick ps/explanation: the orla kiely notebooks listed at $12 had been on sale at a different site for $10 but unfortunately sold out so you'll see the orla kiely notebooks are $12. i figured they were still close (and cute) enough to include]
