Low: Eclectic Bedroom

To re-create the look of the costly lithographs for just $50, Sabrina used decoupage medium to attach ribbon to foam boards, then popped her artwork into ready-made frames. A machine-made rug looks similar to the inspiration rug but costs only $850. Design assistant Chris added doors and drawers to an unfinished bookcase to replicate the look of the high-end room's desk for only $300.
