Home Style "Leg Work"

Ok so I mentioned style on a budget so...here are some examples of what is out there.

Here is an interior from Pottery Barn. Couch $2099-, Coffee Table $699-, Pillow Covers $39- to $49- Each, Lamp $259-, Side Table $399-. So if you shopped Pottery Barn, your room with out accents like rugs or knick nacks would be roughly $3500-. Not terrible but what if you don't want to spend $2099 on a couch?  Or $259- on a lamp?  Or can't?
Here are some options...
Instead of the mercury glass lamp at PB, you could try these options at Target Here or Here or Here . The floor lamp Here or slightly different Here or Here or Here or a more expensive option yet still half price from PB Here.
What about a couch? You don't want to skimp on quality there...
I found Bari Leather Furniture will ship for free and the leather sofa is less expensive than the fabric one from PB.  See like style Here or  Here.
At target they sell a set of two nesting tables that would serve as the side table and one of the twin coffee tables. You would need to buy two sets however, it would still save you money to do it this way.  See Here and I have seen this one in the store and it looks expensive, yet isn't. Here and a coffee table to match Here
Pillows...well depending on your style or what you want you can check out ebay...or you can see similar Here or Here. The solids I am sure you can find anywhere...Fred Meyer usually has a nice stock on hand as does many other retailers in the area.
So what have we done?  The room that would have cost you $3500- with out shipping remember...would now cost you at least half.  And your room wouldn't look half the cost.  Looks like you might have enough left over to do your bed room...:)
