Sidewalk sale: Here’s how you can own decor from Tamara Day’s ‘Bargain Mansions’
If you love how Tamara Day decorates the Kansas City area homes on her show, “Bargain Mansions,” you can soon own some of the furniture and accessories she chose.
Patio furniture, bar stools, couches, nightstands, coffee tables, throw pillows and more will be available at a two-day “As Seen on Bargain Mansions Sale.”
Day, a Leawood mom, will host the sidewalk sale from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday outside her store, Growing Days Home, 5324 W. 95th St. in Prairie Village.
“They can watch the show and see the piece that’s in their own home and feel like they’ve gotten to take a little bit of the show to their home,” Day told The Star.
The sale will feature hundreds of items discounted by 50% to 80%. On Instagram, she’s offering a preview of the items with photos on the accounts @GrowingDaysHome and @TamaraDay.
“We’re not giving away prices, but you’ll get to see where they were used on the show as well as what pieces are for sale,” Day said.
“There are a lot of great, inexpensive accessories that we used over and over and over during the season,” she said. Some larger pieces are “attainable but aspirational,” she said.
She’s also selling a few pieces from the store as she makes room for new fall items.
Two food trucks, Taco Republic and Kona Ice, will also be at the sale.
The most recent season of Day’s show got an upgrade. The first two seasons had aired on DIY network, but this spring, season three moved to HGTV, which goes into 39 million more homes.
On the show, she works alongside her father, Ward Schraeder, renovating homes in the area, including a 1970s Tudor, a 1908 shirtwaist house in Kansas City and a French Provincial in Leawood.
Day said people are now noticing her around town more.
“Everybody always loves what Dad and I are doing and tells me how cute my dad is,” Day said.
Day opened her retail store in December. She says the weeks she had to close because of the coronavirus pandemic allowed her time to take inventory and focus on online orders.
With school closings and shutdowns, Day said she’s been able to spend more time with her husband, Bill Day, and four kids. She’s cooked more, spent time outside and watched all of the Marvel movies.
“We really enjoyed the not racing,” Day said.
But she’s recently become busier. Day started filming new “Bargain Mansions” episodes a few weeks ago, although a premiere date for season four hasn’t been released yet.
“We have more episodes coming as quickly as we can make them,” Day said.
