Redecorating with CSN Stores

Did you do any Christmas shopping at any of the CSN Stores?

I certainly did.

With over 200 stores to choose from there was plenty for everyone on my list.

Now that Christmas is over my next big project is redecorating.

My living room and bedroom both are in desperate need of a makeover.

I think I'll start with the bedroom- it could really use some new bedding. Maybe a splash of fresh color with a new duvet like the gorgeous red one pictured above.

They have so many modern duvet covers it's hard to pick 'the one'.

I am very biased towards red in the bedroom though- passion, vibrancy, power. That's red. I've always loved red- and then when I started studying feng shui red I discovered red is perfect for the bedroom- feminine, sensual- everything you want in your bedroom.

I would like to change things up, but I don't think I can part with my red. However I can and will happily change the wall color, change the furniture around and declutter. And add gorgeous new things- in red.

Maybe with a goal in mind- like a new sexy look for my boring bedroom I can get motivated and start in on the makeover. Soon. I've been dragging my feet for...awhile.

Maybe if I look around the CSN Stores for more inspiration I'll quit dragging my heels.

CSN Stores Review: Cannon Pixma Printer

CSN Stores offered me the opportunity to review another item from their store- with so much to choose from it took me forever to pick something out.

They have just about everything- from dining tables to shoes. I couldn't decide if I wanted to get something for the kids to start Christmas shopping or something for the hubby...or something for myself.

Shame on me for being selfish but it's my birthday this week so I chose to get something for me. Something I really need.

Once I discovered that CSN sold printers- well I knew what I was getting. My printer has been giving me hell for months. It won't scan or copy and it only prints when it wants to- half the time sucking up the whole stack of paper from the tray as it goes. That never ends well- ten pages with a strip of ink here and there.

So a printer was my birthday gift to myself.

I ended up choosing the Cannon PIXMA MP490 All-in-One Photo Printer, Copier and Scanner. It is now out of stock at CSN but very similar to this one.

I am so thrilled to once again have a printer, scanner, copier that works the way it is supposed to. I was so surprised to see that CSN sold printers and other office supplies. They even have digital cameras.

I love that they keep adding new stores and categories. I can't wait to see what they add next.

I already have a bunch of stuff on my wish list- but I am so happy I picked the printer this time around.

As a writer, work at home mom, a printer is a necessity for me and the kids. I need it for work they need it for homework and now that I once again have a multifunction printer we're good to go.

Thank you CSN Stores for offering such wonderful products and opportunities for bloggers to test them out.

I know where I'll be doing a lot of my Christmas shopping.

Disclosure: I was offered the opportunity to choose an item from the CSN stores at no cost to myself in exchange for a review

What Do You Want from CSN Stores?

I absolutely love CSNStores.com- there is always something new to look at.

With over 200 stores to choose from I can find something for every room in my house and everyone on my list.

With Christmas coming soon (much faster than I'd like)- I would love to get started on my holiday shopping.

My house could use a few updates for holiday parties- like maybe some throw pillows and festive decor.

CSN has it all. From throw pillows to dining tables I could give my home a festive makeover for the holidays.

I have the chance to review something else from their massive list of offerings. I'm just not sure what to get this time around.

What would you get if you had the chance? Bookcase? Storage bench? Gifts for the family?

I guess it's time for me to go shopping and figure out what to get for review.

A Review of Deck Storage Bench from CSN Stores

I received $100 credit to use as I wished at any CSN Store- I just had to write a review on what I purchased.

I decided to purchase this deck storage bench. It was $109.99 with free shipping- so all I had to pay was the $9.99 and believe me it is well worth it.

The deck storage box solves 2 of my problems- 1- I have a small deck with little space for seating and 2-storage was non-existent.

Now I have a place to sit and enjoy the outdoors and shove all my garden stuff in the storage part when not in use- instead of it being strewn all over the place... and mainly getting lost because my little guy runs off with it.

Did I say I absolutely love this bench?

I see many other things in the huge network of CSN Stores that I would like to buy now.

Number one a storage ottoman for my living room - yes my house has the same issue as my deck- small and without enough storage. I spotted a great storage ottoman - its small but cute and would be great for me to put my feet on while I'm reading. Of course these damask cubes are cute too.

Then there's the beds-my little guy needs a new bed. He doesn't seem to like his toddler bed and really needs a big boy bed. And the CSN Stores have lots of beds.

I also spotted an awesome toaster over, toaster combo that I would love to have. My husband has been wanting a toaster over but the last thing I need is another kitchen gadget that takes up space- but now my toaster is biting it. And I spotted this toaster over toaster combo on CSN and want it.

Tell me that's not just nifty. :-)

Anyway if you are needing new stuff CSN is the place to shop they literally have everything and as far as I can tell the prices are pretty great.

CSN Shopping Sites

Before today I didn't know about CSN.

This amazing network of shopping sites has over 200 stores with everything you could possibly want- furniture, beds, outdoor stuff, sheds, greenhouses, lighting and so much more!

I am in need of a new bed and I could use a lot of outdoor gardening stuff, I spy a two in one deal- a deck box that doubles as a seating bench which would be great for my (future) patio.

I also see a nice padded storage bench that would be great for my living room.

I spotted those by doing a quick five minute search through their sites. Wow. I can't wait to see what else they have but I'm not going to look yet.

First I'm off to write some more articles to earn some $$ cause I am in need of a shopping fix.
