Style Secrets
Michele Adams and Gia Russo, founders of Los Angeles-based MiGi, have some suggestions for decorating on a budget. Recently
Russo coveted a pair of chairs that cost more than $3,000 each. She found a run-down look-alike pair in a warehouse and was
able to have them refinished for $300 per chair. She also recommends shopping at fabric stores for pillows, linens, and napkins.
"It's usually cheaper to buy fabric than purchase finished linens," Russo says. "For simple pillows, I take the materials
to the dry cleaner and ask for their tailor to make them. Most dry cleaners will sew linens for a fraction of the usual cost."

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
