Thrifty Tuesday: Top 5 Affordable Products


Today I want to share with you my Top 5 Affordable Finds. Each of the items I selected pack a lot of punch for their price tags.

1. Finn Sofa

I really love the new Finn Sofa from West Elm.
It is well designed and under $1000.00
I really can’t wait to use it in a design!

  

2. Tonic Living Fabric
This new fabric from Tonic Living gets me excited. It could be paired with so many colors and geometric patterns. I love it when I find a new fun floral.
It is only $22.95/yard. You could easily whip up pillows and without spending much!

3. Molded Plastic Arms Chairs
These Eames inspired molded plastic arm chairs are such a great deal. Two for $170.00 is an awesome price! That is about $85.00 each. 
Don’t you think I need these for my new little dining area?
4. Casablanca Rug
This Casablanca rug is on sale at Z Gallerie.
The Gray rug is on sale for $149.00 for a 5′ x 8′.
I think the trellis pattern will look great in any space.
5. Parsons Console Table
This Parsons Console is on sale for $89.00!
It is so versatile and you just can’t beat that price.
There are also lots of great sales happening this weekend! I’ll be sure to round-up my favorite times so you don’t miss out.

Buying a Rug From Ebay?


Last week I saw this awesome home tour on The Every Girl.
Although I loved the entire home, the entry really got me excited.
The black door, gold chandelier, bust lamp, and that a-m-a-z-i-n-g rug!

It’s elegant, quirky, and perfectly styled.
In my opinion the rug really makes the space.
I have been eyeing persian rugs forever and have yet to find the perfect one.
After a few minutes n Ebay I did find a couple contenders, and I am always surprised at how reasonably priced they are.
I really love this runner on for $165.00, pretty great right? 
I also like this faded one. I love the worn in look.
The colors on this one are pretty fantastic! 
I have purchased  a few things on Ebay in the past and have had great success. Of course it is always important to look into the sellers history, but for the most part I have been pleased with my experience.
Would you buy a rug from Ebay?

Office & Master Bedroom E-Design Plans


I recently finished up a few e-designs for an awesome client! She was such a blast to work with and I love her style.
She has a small office space that doubles as a guest room. She wanted an overall eclectic feel with pops of color and scattered semimetal pieces.
When a client sends you an inspiration picture like this, it’s hard not to get excited!

 We had some functional restraints to adhere to, but I love the way the design plan came together.
We incorporated her existing chalkboard wall and paint colors, added in a gallery wall, pull-out bed, personal accessories, and pops of color!
I really can’t wait to see it come together.
I also worked on a design plan for her master bedroom.
The goal for this space was to create a little oasis. I filled it with neutrals, lots of textures, and of course a little pattern.
This is the initial design plan I sent her…

And just to add that special touch, we went with a intricate dental crown molding.
Yes please.
I really feel so lucky to be able to design for a living.
It really is the best job.
Happy Friday.

DIY Painted Pillows

I really want to attempt some DIY painted pillows. I love the idea, cost, and outcome.
Burlap and Lace recently created a couch full of black and white DIY painted pillows and I couldn’t be more in love.

I obviously have never seen them in person, but they look super legit to me. You can find the turtorial here.

This project reminds me of my DIY spotted table cloth, so easy and I loved the end result.
We can’t talk about DIY painted pillows without mentioning Sarah Dorsey’s incredible pillows.
She simply used stencils and went to town.

They look so good it’s ridiculous. 
You can find the tutorial here.
There are several geometric patterns that I have my eye on and I think this DIY would be perfect.
Would you attempt painted pillows? It’s tempting right?
