Someone once said to me: “I wouldn’t call you cheap, I’d call you a strategic spender.” I shop sales, buy refurbished but drive a nice car and have kids in private schools. I am VERY picky about where I spend my money. I don’t care about labels… but I like nice things. I’ll splurge when necessary… ie my kitchen! 🤑Who’s with me? On that note, I feel like IKEA gets a bad rap… like once we reach a certain tax bracket we should no longer buy IKEA and instead pay for custom pieces only?!? Eff that!!! I worked with @ModernTwigLA to spruce up my IKEA Besta units… saying ✌🏼 to the generic white fronts and swapped those out for a real wood version. These walnut fronts and top are so lovely! It would have cost twice as much to get something custom made for this 13’ wall… and your girl ain’t about that! Swipe to see some looks of the past… — t a g s — #mcm ⁣⁣⁣#midcentury #midcenturyhome #midcenturymodern #midcenturydecor ⁣⁣⁣#atomicranch  #interior #postandbeam #midcenturydesign #ranchhome #midcenturymodernhome ⁣⁣⁣#homearchitecture #architecture #homedesign #homedecor #interiordesign #interiordecor  #ikeahack #ikeabesta #walnutfurniture #moderntwigla #gifted
