I recently installed the fourth model home for a group of home developers out of Winston-Salem, NC. Now that we have worked on several projects together, these clients are very familiar with my style and they trust me enough to let me design whatever I like as long as I stay within their budget. However, I don't mind a budget at all; in fact, I like the challenge of making a room feel warm and inviting without spending a fortune. My favorite type of room is one that appears the items have been collected over time rather than one that looks like someone went into a big- box store and bought everything to match, without much thought behind their selections. When you are decorating on a budget, you often have to shop around for the best deals resulting in a finished room with that collected feel I like so much!
For this Master bedroom, I found great bargains at places like Tuesday Morning, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Ikea, Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, and some local consignment shops!

| The sunburst mirror and framed marsh prints were ordered from my to-the-trade art vendors. The Euro shams and sheets were TJ Maxx. The duvet and insert were from Ikea. |
 |
| The upholstered headboard, mercury glass lamps, mirrored nightstands, and chevron pillows were all great Tuesday Morning finds. The coverlet folded at the foot of the bed was from HomeGoods. |
 |
The midcentury modern dresser and the framed photo was from Ikea. The large, round, beaded mirror was a great consignment store find. The lamp and accessories were all TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

| The midcentury modern chest of drawers was from Ikea. The framed photo from Hobby Lobby. |

In the end, the room felt warm and cozy while staying well within the budget, making my clients and me very happy!
