As I have nothing but time on my hands as we wait for permits etc. I’m doing what most girs in my situation would do…imaginary decorating. 🙂
But a brand new house means a lot less money in our pockets so I’m trying to find cheaper versions of stuff I love.
For example…
the Pottery Barn Basic Sofa in Brushed Canvas: $1,200 (on sale)Â
 Compared to the Ikea EKTORP Sofa in Svanby Beige: $600
  The Pottery Barn Tanner Cube: $250 each
 Compared to the VITTSJO Nesting Tables: $60 for a set of 2
Pottery Barn Cole Task Floor Lamp: $200 (the closet look to the picture they are currently selling)Â
Compared to the Ikea BRASA Floor lamp: $70 (and a closer match to the original anyway)
Pottery Barn Heathered Chenille Jute rug $450 (on sale) for 8’x10′
Compared to Ikea’s TARNBY flatwoven, natural rug: $150 for a 7’x10’ish size
That means $2,550 for the Pottery Barn version as compared to $950 for the Ikea version.
Not bad for less than half the price.
I love a great look for less $$$! That means more money for accessories 😉 xo
