You've found the house you love, but have you thought about what it will cost to furnish it? From sofas and beds to drapery and delivery fees, there's a lot more to plan for than most of us realize!
In this episode, I'm joined by Ellie Stein of Stein Studio, the talented interior designer who helped bring our lake home to life. We're talking honestly about the cost to furnish a home with quality pieces that will last, where it makes sense to invest, and where you can save without giving up a beautiful, pulled-together look.
We're using our lake home as a real-life example, walking through everything from our TWOPAGES drapery and Quince bedding to the art, rugs, and custom touches that made it feel like home. From there, Ellie shares how to layer color and texture for a collected, timeless look.
Whether you're furnishing a new home or simply refreshing a room, I think you'll come away with some very savvy ideas!
