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.

High-End vs Bargain: Velvet Tufted Chairs

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 Clear Acrylic Modern End Tables

These chic yet cheap end tables are a way to integrate modern upscale design into your space without spending a lot of money.  These tables are a great deal and are at about the same price that a regular side-table retails at, but they lend a high-end aesthetic to any room.

I personally dig the nesting tables, they would be great for entertaining.  Which one is your favorite?  Do you guys even like acrylic?

While there are always concerns about yellowing over time, even if yellow, these tables are classic yet modern at the same time.

Modern Arm Chairs Under $270!

Check out these amazing deals on modern arm chairs, both in solid colors and modern patterns.  The chairs are a great bargain and they feature clean lines.  The first two chairs really work as basic and timeless neutral pieces.

The bottom two chairs stole my heart.  The chairs work because the shape is simple even if the patterns are loud.  The adorable floral canary pattern is cute yet simple and modern.  While its a floral, it would not be in your grandmother’s  living room; it would be perfect in a nursery.  The chair with the turquoise / teal ikat pattern blew me away.  Which one is your favorite chair?  Tell us how you feel about buying furniture online in the comments.
