Larissa's Look for Less

When I first began blogging, I thought it would be 'worth'while to share affordable options for designer looks, furniture and decor in High Style Low Budget.

Well, I don't know about you but there is nothing I love more than a million dollar look on a dime store budget. So when I find a great deal on a designer look, I'll be sharing it with you.

And here is my first....

Restoration Hardware's 17th Century Monastery Rectangular Dining Table in Brown Acacia finish features balustrade and trestle design is priced at $1195.

Home Decorators Tufted Arch Headboard is comparable in style and glamour to Horchow's Benson Tufted Headboard.  It will add graceful elegance and high end style to any bedroom at a much more affordable price.

With an arched, scalloped design that features deep tufts for the look of soft, plush comfort, this headboard will add the look of traditional elegance to any space. You can choose from a wide range of beautiful, top-quality fabric options to create a piece that you are sure to love versus the limited selection at Horchow.  Home Decorators has it available in Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King sizes with sale prices, ranging from $319 - $359!!!!

High Low Decor - Restoration Hardware/Home Decorators

I've always loved Louis XVI chairs so when Restoration Hardware launched their latest line, I had to visit the store and take a look.  I fell in love with the 19th century stately Empire chair that is hand-carved from solid oak with rope twists, acanthus leaves, fluting and flowers hightlighted by a soft weathered finish. 

I soon fell out of love when I saw the price tag. They are currently on sale $1145 - $1465 depending on your choice of a wide selection of fabrics and leather.



Once again, Home Decorators to the rescue!  I found this lovely Marie Arm Chair that is similar in both design and size to its more expensive Restoration Hardware Louis XVI counterpart.

The Marie Arm Chair features an antique-inspired design with padded seat, back and arms is sure to enhance most any room in your home.  It does however offer a more limited choice of upholstery options.  A bleached-oak finish completes the antique look at an extremely attractive sale price of $319.

Truly, high end design on a low end budget.

Salvaged factory cart coffee tables are everywhere.   Restoration Hardware has its own version of an early 1900s industrial factory cart that was once used to transport furniture, fabric and other supplies across the factory floor.  The cast iron wheels, bolts and plates are original and the North American solid white oak top has been cleaned and oil.  Each cart is a vintage original with variations in distressing, cracks, finish and wheel construction. 

Given it handmade and hand-finished, each item is unique.  No two are exactly alike and the result is a $1095 price tag!!!

 

Made to resemble a wheeled cart used in a old factory, Home Decorators' Holbrook Factory Cart Coffee Table is crafted of century-old reclaimed wood for a rustic, weathered look.  The base is made of iron with a rust-free coating.  this rustic table from the Holbrook Collection is similar in design and size to the more expensive Restoration Hardware cart.  

At the online outlet price of $391, it provides high end design on a low end budget.
