How To Take Inspiration And Make It Work Within Your Budget

Terrain is a place of great inspiration for me.  I love the plants, the greens, the homewares.  But I don't love the prices. They are not a store within my budget for many things.  

However, you can take ideas from their displays and look around at stores with in your budget, you can recreate the look you want.

For example - 

These are zinc houses at Terrain.

This is a metal house at Christmas Tree Shops

Here is a lovely string of lights at Terrain

Same kind of lights at Christmas Tree Shops (sorry for the weird photo!)

However, I did see the best artificial tree I've ever seen.  Even to the touch it is soft and amazingly life like.  The price is amazing too!  The 7ft tree is less than $200!  There is nothing I've seen like this tree!

Anyway, I hope this post encourages you to take your inspiration and make it work in your budget.  

Here are a few photos I took today of things that caught my eye -

I always like their outdoor living inspiration, even for winter!

 I liked these colored bottle brush trees with the faux birch bark tea light holders.  

 They had a lot of metals in all colors in their candle holders and vases.  They all looked great on the shelves and that showed me that I could mix colors like this in my own home and it would look great, too.

It's always crowded at Christmas, so pardon the people in the shot.  I really love this lighted sphere, and the shot of all the trees with the lights on them!  So pretty!

Let me know what you think, and we'll chat in the comments!
