Those will ...First, i love the pictures you bought! Those will look even prettier when their up on the wall. That was a smart investment too. Anybody can grab cheaper framed pieces at a big box store, but hunting out art that speaks to you & can be used as a decorating point of view is so much better.<br /><br />Did you see the article in last month's Southern Living about the recent college grad living in Atlanta? It was all about cheaper ways to furnish a home but still super stylish. It really was beautiful! Check SL's site for the piece - i'm pretty sure i saw it online as well.<br /><br />Anyways, one of the places she looked for inspiration & fabric choices was Ballard Design. I have several pieces from Ballards as well. LOVE their catalogs! You should request one & peruse their website for ideas, if nothing else. <br /><br />Start going Estate Sale hunting on the weekends.
