Friday Tip: Shop Around!

Today I want to share one simple tip when designing a space.

SHOP AROUND!

It seems obvious right?  But sometimes we get so hung up on one specific piece or item that we neglect to see something better!

I have the perfect example.  Remember the green diy dresser?  I found some knobs for it that I ADORED from Anthropologie.

They were $8.00 each:


SO pretty, but I needed 10 knobs totaling $80.00 - which was almost the price of the dresser I was putting them on - not cool.

So then I started looking around but I knew what look I had in mind.  I found these from Pier 1:

Pretty right?  Nearly the same as the other knobs and HALF the price.  $4.00 each.  SO much more doable when it is totaling $40.00 instead of $80.00.

I think they turned out SO pretty on too...


Shopping around can save you so much money and regret!  The more I look around the happier I am with the end product ALWAYS!  Even if I do end up going back to the first item I liked to begin with.  Shopping around always ensures I LOVE the piece I've chosen the most.  So trust me when I say patience truly is a virtue!
