The best post I've read in a long time!

I think I sighed out loud today when I read this wonderful post by Lauren over at Pure Style Home. Dealing with budgets on projects can be one of the trickiest parts of a designer's job and I think Lauren took a really frank approach to explaining the whole approach in her post.

I also loved how she posted this chart indicating the difference between a bare bones budget and a high end budget. This can be a great resource if you are trying to figure out what to budget for a room and how much to plan for on certain items.

Yes we all love to get a good deal and quite a few bloggers and designers will pride themselves on being able to source a look for less, but there is always something to be said about investing in quality.
