Sometimes I see something at Target and I’m like…OMG they nailed it. And sometimes I think that’s awesome but what would I do with it? This summer I saw a Nate Berkus Rope Vase and so I decided to re-create it.
Serena and Lily Living Room For Less
July 19, 2014During the past two months, I’ve received over 20 home catalogs as we look for furniture to furnish a full second level (we’re currently in a one-bedroom apartment). And as I look through these different catalogs, I can’t help but think, “Why is this stuff so expensive?”
But I am a conscious consumer so I’ve been bookmarking and keeping track of the general themes I like. Like my looks for less, I am starting a new series Home for Less — where I look at rooms I love from these catalogs and make them up without spending a ton! Here is my first one.
The base total for this rooms is $9,413 and this doesn’t include all accent decor. With shopping around a bit, I was able to find complementary options that were half the price.
- Pottery Barn Sofa $899
- Pottery Barn Chair $599
- Moroccan Pouf $130
- World Market Coffee Table $229
- Pier One Kubu Mirror $200
- World Market Chandelier $200
- Square Lacquer Tray $34
- Madison Stripe Pillow, $43
- Target White Pillow $20
- DENY Yellow Pillow $39
- Target Navy Applique Pillow $25
Total: $2,216
Total Saved: $7,197
