Champagne Taste & Beer Budgets. Yes that really is possible. By now I am sure you have all gathered that I have Champagne taste but a Beer budget. Now if I am being honest, sometimes all I can afford is Kool-aid – you know the 5 cent packet and some water. (I haven’t bought Kool-aid for a while, so I was shocked to find out they are now on sale at 3 for $1) Anyway, I still have a taste for Tiffany when my budget insists I need to be at Walmart.
So what is a girl to do? Well, I have a few tried and true tips for you so you can have that high-class look you want for pennies.
Goodwill – For years I think I had the best Goodwill in the country. We lived in a rather exclusive area and their stock reflected all the high-end stuff that was traded in. My $9.99 Louis Chairs are just one example. The cowhide upholstery on the backs is still a winner. You can learn all about them here, and here.
Designer Showcase Stores – Here in Phoenix we have a ton of designer stores. One of my very favorites is called Furniture Affair. They specialize in Model Home Furniture and everything they carry is high-end and current. They are located at 7th St. and Bell Rd. if you live in the area.
Welcome to Home & Decor Encore! This is where we dig into our archives and bring back some old posts that we can update or ones you might have missed or are new to you! Doreen from Hymns and Verses, keeps it all put together and us all organized. Be sure to check out what my friends are sharing this week.
I would love to have the Furniture Affair store near me. Looks like some beautiful pieces. If you shop well and use good places like Goodwill, Homegoods and FB Market place etc. you can find some real bargains. Happy Friday.
