bang for your buck

blogger is on the fritz, bare with me will ya, photos to come. i promise.

wow, urban outfitters is really beefing it up for spring. every week or so there is a new product to find. great for dorm living or loft living - i mean once you grow up and make the jump into the real estate pond, who has gobs of cash to spend on decor and more? so, in the mean time urban ourfitters has thrifty finds for those who love design, especially trendy design. and yes we have an urban outfitters in downtown toronto on yonge st, it's just that online the pricing is in US dollars. so canada, hit the store and see what you find.



i came acrros some fun fantastic plastic with official andy warhol style; four colors of contoured lip plates based on warhol's original prints. even the box is a handsome addition to any room, and the plates are perfect for hors d'oeuvres $20.00 US. if lips are too peppery for your decor, then try the tacoma plates in four different tones of pretty petals. if not those then what i call official spring gear; the 1960’s flower plates, definitely iconic of the pop art maestros flavor.

flutter into spring with the butterfly leg table, simple and elegant next to your imported italian sofa or the do it yourself ikea lounger. either way, there are three colours to choose from and at 42.00 US you could grab a bunch. dress your walls for success with the walter wall series, the square series is my personal pick and they have adhesive on the back so stick’em on the ceiling if you can! 8 pieces per pack and $42.00 US and there are circles or hexagons too, you decide. the resin ball lamp goes nicely with a previous choice I posted: the cherry blossom shade, $36.00 US. the lamp topped with a different shade, would go nicely next to the bed that is swathed in a cotton red rose bedspread with a concentric border trim $32.00 US.
