October 2015 Linen Crate – The Living Room Box

LinenCrate is a membership based club that allows you to receive Home Linens, Decor and accessories monthly and the products are yours to keep! Each month features a different room in your house, beginning with the Bathroom/Powder Room (all subscribers will receive the Powder Room box as their first box regardless of when they subscribe).  As I mentioned, subscriptions begin with the Bathroom / Powder Room box and then will continue on to that month’s “featured” box.  It’s all explained in the FAQ, but I wanted to mention it here too.  The box schedule for 2015 is: October 2015 = Living Room , November 2015 = Bedroom and December 2015 = Powder Room. And for 2016: January 2016 = Dinning Room, Feb 2016 = Kitchen , March 2016 = Living Room , April 2016 = Bedroom , May 2016 = Powder Room, June 2016 = Dining Room , July 2016 = Kitchen, August 2016 = Living Room, September 2016 = Bedroom, October 2016 = Powder Room, November 2016 = Dining Room, December 2016 = Kitchen.  If you order today you will receive the Powder Room box this month and will then receive the “Dining Room” box in November 2015.

I also want to mention that LinenCrate is under new ownership and has changed a few things.  They now offers two box options, which can only bone purchased monthly.  Subscribers can choose between the Prime Decor Box $109 (plus $5.99 shipping) which includes 3-6 items (I received this box to review) or the Elite Decor Box $75 (plus $5.99 box) which includes 2-3 items. In addition, they have removed the style profile builder from the sign up process and moving forward the box they will be focusing on Modern / Contemporary styles.

The Box

LinenCrate boxes are shipped around the 25th of the month. I received mine early for review purposes.

Second First Look

I wasn’t too sure what to make of the first look.  It was a little out there for my taste, but I was willing to give it a chance.

The Information Card

My October LinenCrate “Dining Room” box included the following items:

~Shiraleah Bali Pillow (+ Insert) ($60): So my feelings on this pillow are mixed.  Sometimes I look at it and I love it.  Sometimes I look at it and think no way.  B calls it the “minecraft pillow”.  LOL! It’s 100% cotton, but it’s got a metallic look / texture to it.  It’s definitely a decorative pillow and not one that you’d snuggle up with.  And probably not one I would pay $60 for on my own, but I will make it work somehow.

~Shiraleah Agate Coasters ($68): I love these!  They are formed from agate stones and are so gorgeous.  Because they are from natural stones no two are alike.  I’d be a little worried about putting these on a glass table, but I don’t have a glass table so I don’t have to worry.

~Torre & Tagus Hammered Metal Vase ($48.55): This is another piece I am just not sure about.  It’s cool, but I don’t know that it’s “me” or my house.  I can totally see myself looking at this and admiring it elsewhere and I love the hammered detail, but I don’t know where I will put this.

All totaled I came up with a value of about $170 for the October 2015 “Living Room” LinenCrate.  The value was there, but I wasn’t loving all of the items this month. They were just a bit too modern for me personally, but I know some people would feel otherwise.

    My target has square pillow covers with initials on them for sale for like 8 dollars–I wonder if yours does and if you could stuff the pillow cover with the above pillow to make it more your style!

    Those coasters are GORGEOUS! Probably wouldn’t pay full price for them but would absolutely love to receive those in a box.

    I hate when I get only one throw pillow. I feel like my couch looks lopsided with only one! I think their new focus on modern stuff takes this box out of contention for me. We have a historic farmhouse from the 1700’s so we are rustic d?cor. Modern would look way out of place.

    I love everything in this box. I could totally see everything in my living room.
