Thanks for stopping by for my 3rd installment of the $1k room challenge. If you missed the first two, you can check them out here and here. I chose to share rooms that are very different styles, so that I can convince you that your dream room is literally only $1,000 away. I really have a passion for affordable design; heck, my first apartment in NYC was furnished with basically all IKEA and Target! My current upper west side apartment is still furnished affordably, but more creatively.

I’m just going to say it: this was HARD. Lately, I haven’t had to focus on budgetary restraints as much as I would normally. This has its advantages: it’s very, very freeing. I loved picking out beautiful things that are literally from my dreams. As you would imagine, it is pretty fun to shop on that side of the scale for a while. I couldn’t get enough. It’s like once you dip your toe in, you love it so much you just run and cannonball into the wealth pool and float around on a giant inflatable swan.
