A few things make the holiday season so special: Spending time with family and friends, putting up all the fun and festive decorations, and of course, the seemingly endless home shopping deals we can count on for the rest of the year. The days following Thanksgiving—Black Friday and Cyber Monday—are when the discounts really start to kick off. With so many sales, narrowing down what you want to buy for yourself and the people on your gift-giving list can be hard. In times like these, we look to our favorite experts and interior designers to share what they think is worth a swipe of the credit card. So, we asked Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of The Brownstone Boys to tell us what's currently on their sales weekend wishlist.
Bordelon and Slocum are Brooklyn-based newlyweds and business partners who've spent years restoring and decorating historic houses, so you know they have an eye for pieces that look good. In their list of must-haves, the duo focuses mainly on items that look good and perform well, from deluxe coffee makers to ultra-soft sheet sets. Check out what they're buying for Black Friday ahead, and get the items for yourself before they sell out!
Best Deal
"We love ending our day with some reality TV. What we don’t love is the look of a clunky television in the middle of a beautiful room. Our Samsung Frame TV has solved this for us by being both aesthetically pleasing and high definition!"
—Jordan Slocum
"Coffee makes our world go round, and this espresso machine is the best of the best. We love being able to make Italian-Cafe-grade coffee in our own kitchen!"
—Barry Bordelon
"The perfect gift for anyone interested in home renovation! We give all our tips from buying to building and everything in between!"
—Jordan Slocum
"Lighting has the power to change the vibe of an entire room. In the evening, we like to switch to low or red light to promote better sleep and relax. These smart bulbs, which you can control from your phone, make it so easy to switch up your lighting throughout the day at the touch of a button!"
—Barry Bordelon
"This time of year ignites a lot of people’s renovation itch. The updates you’ve been meaning to make for ages suddenly become more urgent with your in-laws coming in for Thanksgiving. Our advice is to stick to low-lifts with a big pay-off. Switching out your bathroom vanity is surprisingly easy and makes a huge difference in the bathroom's overall aesthetic. We love this one from Wayfair for its modern hardware, pop of color, and sleek design!"
—Jordan Slocum
"As our guests float in and out of town, we always want to make sure we have enough sets of sheets to switch in-between uses. We love this set from Beautyrest for its temperature control feature so our guests can be as comfortable as possible!"
—Barry Bordelon
"With winter swiftly approaching, we know that our beloved pup is going to track in all sorts of snow, mud, and muck. We love this steam mop because it makes cleaning up pawprints (and every other kind of mess) so easy and painless!"
—Jordan Slocum
"These are such a great gift and perfect for the college student or busy bee in your life! We love that [Drew Barrymore's affordable slow cookers] come in such great colors that won’t detract from your countertop aesthetic."
—Barry Bordelon
"Make decorating that much easier on yourself with this cordless drill! We use ours constantly and it also makes a great gift!"
—Jordan Slocum
"Our most-used styling tool is hands down the tried-and-true Command Hook! We love how versatile these are, and this variety pack ensures you’ll be set for all your holiday (and beyond!) decorating."
