Pegboard High-End Vs Low-End

Pegboard is the trend in office storage.  Now that offices are turning into craftrooms Crate and Barrel has come out with a really overpriced pegboard.  The accessories are not that cute and the hardware store is not only a better resource for this type of storage system, but the price is unbeatable.  I have a silver pegboard in my office.  Do guys like the black or the white?  Tell us in the comments.

High-End vs Bargain: “Hotel” Style Bedding

Bedding is expensive – there is no way around it.  Since you use it every night, its important to splurge.

If you are starting out with basics or want a classic look that is amenable to change in color (accessories, shams) get the clean, modern lines of Hotel-Style bedding.  Its shocking, but E-bay supposedly has sheets that are of higher quality than Restoration Hardware’s version, at half the price.  Compare 200 thread count sheets at RH to 400 on E-Bay!  I honestly can’t even tell the difference.  Can you?  Let us know in the comments.

Punk Spiked Bracelets

Spikes are so 80s punk.  Fast forward twenty years and now they are chic.  For only $14.99 these bracelets would update a buttoned up suit and make it modern and fresh.  I love the pink gold one, which color is your favorite?  Tell us in the comments.

Stylish Steal: Acrylic Stool/Table

We seem to get a lot more hits when we post acrylic furniture deals, so we will continue to feature this type of furniture.

This stool/accent table is a great example of how a small piece can transform a room.  Its smart to invest in a couple “splurge” pieces and save money on things like couches.  A moderately priced couch with exquisite pillows and luxe accessories  for example looks better than an empty room with a lone, expensive couch.

I really like this as a side table or nightstand even.  Its petite, but it also has some storage.  For $89.70, you just can’t beat the price.

Curved Accent Tables: High End, Moderate and Bargain

Accent tables for your bedroom or living room can be expensive, but there are affordable options.  If you are going for a modern, clean look that is affordable, the Peekaboo table from cb2 is unbeatable at $179.  Compare it to Wayfair’s version and to the designer version.  Compared to those, its a bargain!

As you can tell from the many other postings including clear acrylic furniture, L.S.B. is totally obsessed with clear and white furniture.  Do you like the modern end table style or are you a traditionalist?  Tell us in the comments.

Cheap Cheeky Pillows at Zara Home

These adorable and FUN pillows are not only a great deal, they are a chic way to have fun with decor.  While I can see the red heart pillow in a child’s room, it would be especially fun in an all white living room.  Would you buy a pillow like these for the living room?  I would!

Steals: Black & White 1920’s & 1960’s Era Dresses

 Check out these great deals on black and white 20s and 60s dresses. Downtown Abbey inspired me to look for a modern take on  drop-waist dresses.  Drop-waist dresses are not for everyone, they are for women that are very thin.  Because of this, I’ve traveled forward to the sixties to provide a couple of mod dresses that flatter all shapes and sizes.

Though I wish I could wear the white drop-waist dress, I have to say I prefer the mod houndstooth dress.  Do you think 20s dresses are unflattering?  Let us know in the comments.
