Are the big box stores right for you?

 
Most people usually think of big box stores as a place for plumbers and builders. What about those big box furniture stores where most people can't imagine achieving an expensive look? Well, they couldn't be farther from the truth. I did some online shopping and found 2 different looks for a home office. Both rooms are about 12' x 12' in size. One office was purchased with furnishings and accessories strictly from Home Depot Online and the other IKEA. You'll be surprised to know that both rooms had a budget of $1,500.00. All it takes is the right combination of pieces and the correct scale in furnishings.

Not bad considering most of us spend more than this a year for our fancy coffees. I know I do :)

Enjoy,
