While helping a dear friend with her son’s graduation announcements I did a little scavenger hunt myself and found this gem – a Crate and Barrel Vendome Bed for only $300.  Now that’s a really good buy and if only I was in the States and not in Canada – I would be the first [...]

Love the 70s furniture that i grew up with and truly if it wasn’t so expensive – i would have given this as a  personalized gift to the brother-in-law who was moving into a new house.   But for almost $470 USD – it’s way off my budget.    But having said that if you look at [...]
