I love Mondays! It's a brand new week and a fresh start at spending money...lol!
Check out some of these Save and Splurge Monday finds! Enjoy.
This sofa from Kravet is GORGEOUS, I love the tufting and the simple lines of the high arms. The nailhead trim detail is and interesting touch as it creates a pattern on the apron of the sofa. Since this is a custom piece the price range varies depending on fabric choice. However I can guess at the starting price of $2200. That's before you have to buy the fabric....jeepers!
How I love Barbra Berry....let me count the ways....one (elegant style), two (clean detailing), three (super sexy curves)....four, ok I could go on for a while. They gave this armchair the PERFECT NAME, Graceful! Yes I find this chair to be just that. Graceful, elegant and pristine. Like a fine tailored business suit. The structured back, the tight seat cushion and the contrasting exposed wood. This armchair is beautiful and CRAZY expensive. We used this chair in a design a while back. I can't remember the exact price, but I do remember it was a tough sell because of the price.
This one is made by a company called Bailey Street. They have changed up the style slightly by making the back a little straighter. It doesn't follow the same rounded back as the Barry chair. They have removed the arms and added a scalloped detail to the apron and legs. However, it still carries the same oval cut out detail on the back giving this chair the same elegance at $498.00.
Let's touch on lighting for a second....This fixture is sooooo pretty. It gives your space that vintage look and would look phenomenal in a dressing room, closet, or even a chic dining room. Actually there are so many places I would use this piece. The teardrop glass pieces remind me of a summer rain storm (corny I know, but it does). I love that they paired the droplets with an antique filigree finish on iron. The contrasting finishes adds wonderful texture to the piece and makes you appreciate it's individuality. I also LOVE that it's rectangular. Most dining rooms have rectangular shaped tables or oval so this little baby would look even better keeping with the shape of a table. This is from Pottery Barn and it's called the Clarissa Glass Drop Chandelier and it's a WHOPPING $800 buckeroos! BUT GOODNESS it's pretty!
This Crystal Glass Drop 3-Light Antique Copper Chandelier from Overstock.com works perfectly as the Clarissa stunt double and at a price tag of $170.00 you just can't beat that. It's smaller in size to the Clarissa but the design is just as pretty. I have used this chandelier in a small Manhattan apartment and the client and I couldn't have been happier. YES it was a gamble purchasing this one from Overstock.com after seeing the Clarissa, but I'm glad we did. It still cast a fair amount of light and it was lite on the the pocketbook...lol.
I hope you enjoyed that! I did! I love sharing bargain deals with you and I hope that you subscribe to my blog so I can continue to inform the FRUGALISTAS of the world about the look for less!
Ciao for Now!
