The Real Deal...

Decorating on a reasonable budget (also considering two small children live in our home) I'm often fraught with whether a temporary fix is really worth it when in some ways, it never quite compares.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect fabric for cushions when I really wanted some Kravet. I adored the Ikat and short of importing it or paying a high price I have spent so long trying to find a cheap replacement.

Enter the craft show last weekend.

There was so much more variety than the usual Spotlight etc etc I nearly brought everything I saw.

And yet, while nice, I'm still stuck on the Kravet.

So last night, I found a seller on Etsy who makes cushions with the fabric I love (on both sides), so I swallowed my pride (and inner bargain hunter) and bought the bloody things! Haha! Anyone need some blue and white fabric? ;)

Then today, in Spotlight there is a cheap replica of the Karlsson clocks I have been eyeing off. It's $40 compared to about $150. So tempting, but really, I end up spending more money in the long run!

So I'm learning patience is a virtue. Again.
