One was this little piece of pink heaven. For this Living Room, they only spent $2,593 to make it look this good. I love the two side tables they used to make a coffee table as well as the soft pink hues that give this room its girly chic vibe. The four framed mirrors stacked vertically is a cute idea also. The sofa was only $430 and the floor lamp only $60- what a steal!
Room #2 that I can't seem to forget is this one designed by Jennifer Eisenstadt. They did it for $2,018 and were only $18 over their budget. I must say that's impressive! This Manhattan rental's Living Room was a mere 265 square feet so a multitasking layout was in order. Love love love the paint color in here with the crisp white accents. Who would have thought that pink would look good with navy but it looks like perfection! I think the best part was how they made the window treatment. They made valances from IKEA curtains which were staple gunned to plywood and completed with grosgrain ribbon. Wow can I move there? Or just to New York in general! That would be nice!
West Elm just came out with the Sawhorse Worktable for $449. Has a glass top that sits upon steel plated legs with a black nickel finish...I am loving the price on this one...it looks a little familar- saw something similar not too long ago at...
William Sonoma Home- I have always had my eye on this Mason Glass Top Desk- has a metal base finshed by hand in polished nickel plate. The small size is $950 (comparable to West Elm size above)

I just received the new Pottery Barn catalog and apparently this fall it is all about the graphic print! Whether it's on a piece of furniture, rug, bedding, or pillow, their new fabrics are sure to make a very large statement. P Barn's 50 distinctive fabrics give customers a lot of options. They can also choose from five chair frames (see above) to get upholstered in a PB fabric of their choosing. 
I love the neutral graphics- a subtle way to bring a lot of excitement into your Living Room!
