High Style Low Budget Design - Horchow/Target

Mirrored furniture adds sparkle and style to any room.  Horchow's John-Richard Collection is a handcrafted 20" square cube that feature beveled mirrors on a wooden frame. It truly lights up a room at $899 less 25%.

Target's Mirrored Cube Living Room Accent Side Table although similar in design is a bit smaller 15.75" square.  It will also add elegance to a contemporary decor at a much more affordable price of $99.99.  It is made of a wood-composite that is covered with clear mirrors that reflect the light back into the room. 

Sparkling high end style on a low end budget....

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.

High Style Low Budget Design - Restoration Hardware/Home Decorators

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.

High Style Low Budget Design - The Foundary/Target

The Foundary is one of my favorite flash sale sites and recently they offered this fabulous 41"  3 Piece Nestable Leather Ottoman set.  The set includes 1 large ottoman made of Espresso bounded leather and 2 smaller ottomans  Priced at $285 discounted from $555....it appears to be quite a steal.

Again, Target to the rescue!  This Sheridan Black faux Leather 3PC Double Storage Ottoman with Tray Plus 2 Side Ottomans is virtually identical at a much better price point of $129.99 with free shipping. 

It is a great piece for a small apartment or a family room for extra storage.

High Style Low Budget Design - Restoration Hardware/Ballard Design

Is it purely coincidence that the Restoration Hardware Fall 2011 Source Book and the Ballard Designs October 2011 catalogue arrived on the same day in my mail box?  I think, not!!!

Restoration Hardware's Reclaimed French Floorboard Coffee Table is crafted from thick 150 year old salvaged floor boards set on iron bases that are hand finished with an antique industrial patina that complements the pine planks.  Each table is unique given variations in the wood and metal work. 

The smaller table measures 55"L x 32"W x 18"H and is priced at $1195.

Comparable in design and size to its Restoration Hardware look alike, Ballard Designs' Durham Cocktail Table is inspired by a vintage bricklayer's table with heavily distressed planked solid hardwood top set atop an aged steel frame.  It measures 18 1/4"H X 50"W X 24"D but also offers a generous lower shelf which provides plenty of storage and display room.  This table is currently on sale for $269 for a limited time.

Truly, high end design on a low end budget....

Introducing High Low Decor.....

I intend to showcase High End style at Low End prices so come along with me as I discover the hottest decor at affordable prices.

This beautiful Frances Palmer Pheobe Vase is one of the artist's fabulous handmade pieces.  It's "deliberately asymmetrical, with quirky misaligned fluting that dramatically expresses the hand of the artist".
The retail price is $135....a bit steep for a vase!

This Target  Magnesia Vessel Vase is very affordable at $29.95  Although this vase is made of resin, it has a ceramic look and can accomodate a variety of large floral decor pieces according to a customer review. 

Place it on a vintage table with character and fill it with flowers and I think you'll be pleased with your high end style on a low end budget...
