Happy Thrifty Thursday, or shall I say ThrifTEA! 😉 For those that don’t know, my sister started her own blog a few months ago and it is growing at a great rate. Many of her features are done behind the camera with video content. Initially, while she already invested in the photography equipment, most of the posts were shot in front of a plain white wall. And while that’s okay, she wanted to create a set a little more inviting for her guests during interviews. So last Monday, her and I went to our local Target and Marshall’s to pick out of a few pieces. She wanted a cozy look and I suggested a color scheme with a lot of metallic, white, and blush to brighten up the space. I thought it would be really pretty when her lighting (boxed and ring lights) bounced off the silver hues. However, since not all of her guests are women, we added a bit of masculine flair with wooden based rustic chairs. While remaining in her budget and finding quaint items to fit the office space, I was able to pull a few things together for a grand total of $220. This includes the chairs, tables, pillows, curtains, and accessories. I have included pictures with prices. I even found most items are on sale after revisiting the stores. So if you’re looking for similar, go get them now!

Now for the breakdown of cost. Every piece individually was $60 or less. We bought the chairs at Marshall’s for $50 each then I found them at Target for a set of 2 for only $38!!!! Ugh, don’t you hate when that happens?! But Target’s furniture is currently 30% off, so run and look at their options first!

I’ll have a few more ThrifTEA projects coming up in a few weeks because my family is moving to a new home in 10 days. So if you’re interested, stay tuned!
