Wall Street Journal covers thrifty decorating

Hello thrifty warriors!

This article thrills me not merely for its inspiring (and inspired) content, but also for the fact that the long-revered king of financial newspapers, the Wall Street Journal, is touting the advantages of thrift.  Who woulda thunk it?

LIVING ROOM | The Dunbar mosaic tile cocktail table, now worth $18,000, was a $60 flea market prize. Even the Saarinen Tulip table was a deal (no tax, no shipping) online, at circa50.com.

For all of us who are life-long thrifters, the prices here may seem steep by our $12.99 comparisons, but those of us who love Mid-Century Modern furniture will appreciate the designer finds.  In all, I applaud the Wall Street Journal for actually approving an article about living in fashion while staying on budget.
