high end vs. good old fashion bargain hunting

I love home decorating just as much if not more than shopping for shoes and clothes and I find that the same bargaining principles are in home shopping as well. You need a) patience b) a computer and c)imagination.

Neiman Marcus has some of the most amazing home furniture pieces around but not everyone can afford thier pieces, myself being included. Here are a few things I found at Target that are close enough to make your home have the same statement pieces but at a FRACTION of the cost!

These chairs around a dinning room table...Molto bella! Even different colors! And you would save SO much buying them this way, you could afford to have them recovered or better yet do them yourself (and maybe even some nailhead trim!)!

If these "looks for less" would appease you...you could save $2,759.01!!!!!!
