I am delighted to be included in another fabulous iVillage round-up — this one, the top tips and tricks to get a high style look on a budget. I mean, who couldn’t use that? Every mom I know wants to use her money wisely. We mothers of multiples know how expensive it is to buy double (or triple!) the diapers and formula … and I can hardly bear the thought of double (or triple!) college tuition.
No matter what your budget — big or small — there are almost always some areas to splurge and others to save. For my boys’ room, I saved on this inexpensive chair and personalized art so that I could splurge in other areas. See the results, along with some other incredible DIY transformations and designer secrets — over at iVillage!
What’s your favorite “save” versus “splurge”?

Pretty chair Traci, do you have it in a different fabric for the boys’ room or did you keep it white?
