How to create that magazine look using Craigslist, Ikea, and the internet.

Most people think they have to spend thousands of dollars to create that House Beautiful, Traditional Home or Veranda look. In truth, those designers usually do spend large amounts of money on products. How many times have you loved something in the picture, quickly flip back to the resource guide only to find "To the trade only" or find the site and that one candle holder was $369!!!!

Chairs found on Craigslist and reupholstered, rug ordered online using 20% new customer discount


I get a lot of jobs by letting my clients know that mixing the high and low is real the most bang for your buck!! Take a look at a few of these photos and guess what you think is high and low....

Potted Arrangement using stems at JoAnn Fabrics $3.99 a stem

Linen Blend Napkins Ikea $6.99 four pack

White Plates from World Market set of 12 for $19.99

See there are plenty of ways to save money and still get that designer look everyone wants in their home.
Do you have a high, low project you'd like to share?
