IKEA SALE

At the other end of the spectrum, IKEA’s sale starst May 26, which is tomorrow. I’m off to check out some bargains for my son’s new digs in Austin. My daughter’s friends tell me IKEA makes for great first-apartment finds. Also a Memorial Day sale this weekend at Horchow, where I usually pick up great linens. So…while my husband’s in Africa playing hunter and photographer, I’m back in Dallas…gathering!

WAREHOUSE SALE AT SCOTT+COONER

This Cassina sofa is just one of the treasures you’ll find at Scott+Cooner’s warehouse sale this weekend at 1308 Dragon St. They are moving their warehouse, so I’m sure there will be some great bargains on the really good stuff. I know of decorators who have furnished whole houses from this, and other, warehouse sales. You’ll see one in our next issue!
