Design On a Dime: Redo your Living Room for Under $40,000.00

Room by: Jean-Louis Deniot  www.deniot.com
Well Ladies and Gents it's that time again...our house is far from completed and today we have to somehow manage to redo our Living room for under $40,000.00...last time if you remember correctly we managed to redo our Bedroom for under $30,000.00 and we came in right at $29,462.50, and that was only because we had enough left over to get 12 drinking glasses with which to toast to our success!  I think we can do it again!

So...that leaves us with a grand total of....drum roll please!

* Please note, I thought the Ellisworth Tufted Sofa was cheep, my current couch was several hundred more,  and that was after nagging on the bitch (she's actually very nice) for an hour for a discount, and I got to choose the leather and fabrics...Never pay full price, hold out for a discount ladies and gents, it's not being cheep, it's managing cash flow!
