#25!! ......Come on DOWN!
Thanks for voting!! I loved seeing everyones' preferences. And, I agree. This bedroom is beautiful. But quite a doozy to piece together... The one full of antique furniture and inherited collectibles? Sure, let's go to Target.
Seriously, I tried my best to find an inexpensive alternative for this timeless bedroom.

Voila! #25 on a nestegg.
I'd like to state that I do not recommend decorating your room with really cheap furniture. I just wanted to give a new perspective on those stunning magazine pages that seem "impossible." If you were my (real-life) client and you handed me the bedroom picture I would first ask to go shopping in your attic (or your mother's) and then tell you to start reading. In fact, that brings up my last (but least $) item for the room:
Books**
That's your job. I recommend going here. Oh, and in case you were wondering the very close runner up was: #17!!
