While we were in the States after Christmas, I picked up a stack of current home magazines to flip through once we arrived back in Austria. There are, of course, European versions of interior design, DIY and decorating publications, but sometimes it's comforting to read something from home. And now that we know we're moving back to the US, I'll want to have an idea about where to find things there again (Target, sadly, has not made it to Vienna yet!).
Flipping through this month's issue of HGTV Magazine, I loved this little spread on stylish yet affordable throw pillows (especially in light of my own need for inexpensive pillow options). I looked up and saw whose piece this was-- our dear friend, Frances Bailey of 400 Square Feet!! You may remember, she and Melina watched a taping of Martha Stewart's show together. Doesn't she look amazing in that photo?
Frances' nine picks offer such a wide range of fun prints and colors that I want them all! One example of inspired decorating on a budget uses the look of the famous (and expensive) Imperial Trellis fabric.
The real thing: the Imperial Trellis throw pillow in navy costs $260.
The low-cost option: Target's Blue Fretwork Pillows only set you back $24.99... for a set of two!
A perfect example of how you don't have to spend a fortune to get the look you want. Like we always say, champagne taste on a beer budget. Thank you, Frances!
Happy Friday
