DESIGN DILEMA

My project for the week is done except..............

I love the colors, I love the comforter and I love the picture (painted by yours truly). For a very small room it came out bright, crisp, just like a small room should look. I also was pleased that it did not cost much. I pledged I would be frugal in there because 1) it is a spare room and no one sees it often in the back of the house 2) it is small and you can't put too much into it.

So when I decided a chest was needed I went hunting for the bargain. If you know anything about me I do not shop for bargains...I do not shop for anything. The online shopping was no help so I took a walk to this junk store on the next block and struck gold. 2 matching chests, just the right size. I did not need 2 but for $20.00 each I could not pass them up. I struck pay dirt. Got them home and painted the one to match the room. I was excited until..........

As you can see in the picture there is no hardware on this one or the other one. As a unprofessional, in her dreams designer I look for the details. I decided to use copper colored accents. I pulled things from around the house and used my handy copper paint and added accents in copper for no cost. Frugal.

Then I went looking for hardware for the $20.00 chests. Home Depot had the most extraordinary pulls that were copper and peacock blue. The exact match for the bedroom. What a designers dream or nightmare. About $120.00 for drawer pulls for a $20.00 chest. They were perfect, but the cost. I walked up and down that aisle 10 times and then out the door.

No I did not buy them but I did not buy any. I am now going to have to let time go by and leave it alone for awhile cause right now I will not find anything that will work or anything I will like as much.
