Last summer Therese from Fresh Idea Studio got to spend quality DIY time with her oldest daughter updating her bedroom. One of the things her then soon-to-be high schooler wanted in the space was a beautiful Mongolian lamb fur stool like Jonathan Adler’s $1,595.00 one. Yikes!

Lora from Craftivity Designs has always loved a striped runner and was dreaming of one for her office. The Birmingham Black Woven Cotton Rug from Dash and Albert is one of her favorites, but $133 was more than Lora wanted to spend.
