Welcome to my newest edition of Thrifty Decor!
Every week, I shop on Craigslist to find great deals and I make a complete room out of it.
This idea came to mind as I was working with a client who had a limited budget (don’t we all?). My client was surprised to see how we could re-use furniture differently or find used items online.
If you want to save money, on your decor, thrifty is the way to go!
So far on my Thrifty Decor Series I have done a living room, a bedroom, a dining room and even an entry way but I’ve never done an office! So today I went shopping looking specifically for office deals. Here’s what I found:
Vintage Wooden desk – 165$
This vintage desk is still in good condition (according to the owner), it’s not surprising that it would still be in a mint condition since vintage furniture is re known for it’s sturdiness. And I love the golden hardware.
Teak foot rest – 35$
I found this random foot rest! I love the pop of color!
Industrial Shelf – 400$
Since the desk surface is pretty small, I was on the lookout for shelving and this one caught my eye. The price seems a little steep but you can always negotiate with the seller. Look at the price of similar items to justify your price. Often, I can negotiate a good 100$ off justified by the fact that I have to pick up an item, spend on gas, mileage etc. It’s worth a try!
Eames Chair – 69$
More and more small companies are posting new items on craigslist. This is a case with Warzo furniture a company that I love! I find they have a great price point for good replicas of vintage or industrial furniture. I picked this orange chair to go with the foot rest.
I love to finish a room with a splurge! A brand new item that brings it all together.
Mid Back Office chair @ Wayfair – 60$
I love love love this office chair. I find chairs with wheels are more ergonomic for an office and the brass finish is a nice touch with our desk.
Lets see how to bring this all together
The result is an inviting and energizing office!
