Up To 30% OFF One Kings Lane ~ Site wide Additional Discount

Bookmark and Share

This deal really caught our attention…

One of our favorite daily discount home accessories sites, One Kings Lane, is applying an extra 20 to 30% OFF your total purchase, through September 17 ~ for current members’ purchases.  I am not sure how they are choosing who gets which discount, but there is not a promo code this time.  You do have to log-in to your current One Kings Lane account to get the discount.

Not a member?  Get a $15 OFF credit when you sign up to become a One Kings Lane member (membership is FREE).  You can use this $15 credit towards any One Kings Lane order of $30 or more (woo-hoo)!  It looks like you have 30 days to use the credit before it expires, but other than that, there are no other strings attached. Please note that the $15 credit is only offered for new account sign-ups and that it is FREE to join.  Also, new accounts do not qualify for the additional 20-30% off discount.

Here are some of the goodies we swooned over:

 

^This fun flower pillow ~ $33 after 30% OFF discount (reg. $115).  I started thinking about how to make this to save a bit more, but after considering the effort to cut out and sew all those little pieces, I could not justify the time & materials (and potentially losing my mind ~ ha!) vs. this discounted cost. (I found this in their “Pillows to Inspire” boutique).

^Set of 3 Wire Organization baskets ~ $33 after 30% OFF discount (reg. $115).  These are a bargain at an average $11 a piece.  The smallest looks like the perfect size for corralling magazines and mail.  I love the rustic look, and removing the liner would give these a modern industrial look.  (Found in their “Get the Lodge Look ~ Alpine Accents” Boutique).

^Chevron Travel Accessories ~ Starting at $9 after Additional 30% OFF discount.  That big pop of bright graphic chevron is found on yoga bags, personalized iPad and iPhone cases, totes, and more. (We found this in their “Chevron Travel Accessories ~ Zig Zag” Boutique).

:: Go on your own One Kings Lane discount hunt here.
