affordable design edit

March 5, 2014

Here on my Blog I present an edit of things I see and like, I love to share these with you. Some are expensive that we can only dream about owning but often others are more affordable.

Good design isn’t always expensive and unattainable as some would have you believe. My own house is filled with a mixture of high and low furniture and lighting, some I haves saved up for, some brand new, some vintage and some shop damaged (for a better price) and others that were on sale. To be honest i love a bargain just as much as saving up for something special. I am not a fan of replica furniture sorry if you are. I think it’s important to value authentic design.

So I have searched far an wide to find an edit of good design from a variety of stores that I think is also is well priced… here you go I hope you enjoy!
