Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate: {Antique Style Metal Bed}

Happy Sunday!  It has been awhile since I did a "Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate" post but I am excited to bring this series back!  I always love finding looks for less and sharing them with you guys!  I was sourcing metal beds for a client and came across this look-a-like duo!  There are just minor design differences between these two but the price difference is HUGE! 
Check it out...

Break the Bank:
Affiliate Link: Coleman Bed
$899 (queen)

Cheapskate:
Affiliate Link: Tilden Metal Bed
$339.99 (queen) +take an additional 15% off right now with coupon code listed on site}

Love the versatile style of this bed and it could go with any style of decor.  It would also be a great bed for a child's room, something that would grow with them!  Such a great find!!  What do you think about it?

What's New Wednesday: {E-design Projects}

I thought I would check in and share a few projects I have been working on lately!  I usually do not share my e-design projects since I cannot share the sources due to contractual agreements but I had so much fun designing these rooms, I wanted to share!

Being the mom of two girls, I had a blast working with clients on their son's rooms!

This client is expecting a baby boy this summer.  She asked me if "modern vintage" was a style and something I could pull off and of course, I said yes!  She had some basic ideas of what she wanted, neutral with a pop of bright aqua, so I worked off that!  Here is what I came up with....

She told me she would send pictures of the finished project and I cannot wait!

The second client is a repeat client...I have had a blast working with her!  I designed her entryway and we have had the worst luck making this design happen in real life.  Everything was backordered...then when the bench arrived, it was broken!  Not good!  Hoping for her sake, everything will arrive quickly and in one piece soon!  Can't wait to show you pictures when this is completed.  Her house is gorgeous as is and this will be the icing on the cake!

 

I was thrilled when she asked me to design her son's room.  I had so much fun with this room and again, cannot wait to see it all pulled together.  After I sent the design board to her, she told me her son said it was "sic" so I guess that means I passed the test with him! Ha! While designing this space, I selected items that are "cool" now and that will be "cool" as he gets older!

I hope to get to share the end result in a few months!

Check back soon to see more of my projects!

DIY: {Wood Bead Garland Strand}

Last week I was doing some shopping and of course had to run into Pottery Barn to look around.  I came across this wood bead garland and loved the look of it...

photo: PotteryBarn.com

 

They had a few different options that ranged from $24.95-$34.95.  Now that is not a terrible price, but I knew I could make it for a lot less.  I left the mall and headed to Hobby Lobby where I found some great wood beads for $1.99/package.  I had twine at home but you can find it at any craft store and usually at most dollar stores!

 

 





With the help of my 7 year old daughter and a crochet needle, we simply strung the beads onto the twine...

Once we used all the beads, we just tied the ends together...seriously the easiest DIY ever!

For under $5, I would say this project was a huge hit!

I cannot wait to make more!  What do you think about it?

Friday Find: {Ruffle Shower Curtain}

One of the most frequently asked questions I get on Instagram is: Where did you get your shower curtain?

I actually found it on ebay a few years ago but I did some shopping for you and look what I found: (They carry it in several color combinations. Mine is the silver/black one!)




We love ours and I would order it again in a heartbeat! For the price, it cannot be beat!

Who doesn't love a ruffled shower curtain, obviously I do!

 

Enjoy your weekend!

Shop the Look {Rustic Guest Bathroom}

Happy Thursday to you!  First things first, Don't forget to enter the desk calendar giveaway going on now....click HERE for details!

I have been sharing some photos of our upstairs guest bathroom on Instagram so I thought I would give you the full tour and share some sources to recreate the look in your own home!

This bathroom is connected to a guest bedroom but also serves as the bathroom for the media room and game room.  My plan was to keep things clean, neutral and simple as far as the decor went.

I searched high and low for a linen shower curtain and ended up finding the perfect one at Pottery Barn.  It was more than I had hoped to spend, but I knew it was something that we would own for awhile. I love that we can change up the decor anytime and it will work with any color!  And the ruffle detail...who can say no to that?  Make sure and invest in a steamer if you buy this...trust me!

 

 
This bathroom sat as seen above (no wall décor for a whole year...gasp!) until I was running around Target and came across these paper flower shadow boxes for $29.99!  What a deal!

I love the way the background of the shadow boxes matches the shower curtain. 

I was pretty happy with the room as it stood, but then came across some fun, cast iron deer heads and knew they would be the perfect whimsical touch to add some interest to this room! When I bought the deer heads, they were brown cast iron...(cute but a little drab)

So I gave them a facelift with craft paint I had at home...

So much better...don't you think?

 

 

I am calling this room "done" for now.  I am glad to mark that one off the list and move to the next project! 

If you love the look, check out the "Shop the Look" board below...all sources are listed as well!

Shop the Look: {Coffee Bar}

 Happy Monday, friends!  Today I am talking coffee bars...the perfect topic for a Monday morning!

Our coffee bar is one of my favorite little spots in our kitchen.  What I love most about it is that it is welcoming, looks nice and is functional!

 

Every time I post a picture of it on Instagram, I get tons of questions asking where I purchased certain items so here is a list:

Chalkboard bins for K-Cup storage, sugar/creamer set, tea towel, white mugs: Homegoods
Numbered ceramic pieces, fox and deer mugs: Tuesday Morning

Since those stores do not offer online shopping,  I found some great items that will give you the same look!  All sources are linked below!

Click for source links:
3 tier "drying" rack  / Monogram Mug / Distressed Wood Chalkboard Bins / Embossed Mugs / Chalkboard Mugs / Letterpress Mugs /Sugar Container / Creamer Pitcher /  Coffee Canister / Cinnamon Shaker / Tea Towel

Happy Shopping!!

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Leather Barstools}

Long time, no chat!  I took the summer off from blogging but have enjoyed keeping up with everyone via Instagram!  I hope you had a great summer!  We enjoyed ours, but it always goes so fast!  Regardless, my girls are back in school and I am excited to get back to work!  

So...let me jump right in and show you some fun finds I came across while sourcing bar stools for a client.  She liked the leather look and she knew she wanted to keep things budget friendly.  Easy enough....here is what I came up with:

Break the Bank:
Link:  Crate and Barrel Lowe Barstool
$299

Cheapskate:
Link: Kirkland's Faux Leather Barstool
$149.99

Another style we considered:

Break the Bank:
Link: Pottery Barn Manchester Barstool
$399

Cheapskate:
Link: Kirkland's Everitt Leather Barstool
$129.99

I just love that Kirkland's has some affordable, yet stylish, options! I think my favorite is the Everitt...I am a sucker for the nailhead trim!

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Tufted Linen Chair}

I received an email from Linda asking if I had any suggestions for a cheapskate version of the chair below.  I actually had considered ordering two of these chairs a few months back for my living room but ended up finding something perfect at Home Goods instead.  I really do love these chairs though...everything from the tufting to the nail head trim...and they look really comfortable!

Break the Bank:
$800 (on sale)
Link: Cardiff Chair

 

 

 

 

 

Cheapskate:

$329 (on sale)

Link: Tafton Tufted Chair

 

 

 

If you do not love the dark legs on the "cheapskate" version, a little paint and some stain will give you the same look of the "break the bank" version...and you save over $400!  That is a great deal!
