And The Winner Is?
Make A Rustic Sawhorse Table For Under $40
When I was young, I remember how much I envied my best friend's daybed. It seemed like the perfect place to plop down, flip through a few teen magazines and gossip about how Billy (almost!) picked up my pencil in the lunchroom.
Now that I'm a bit older (and hopefully less reliant on writing-utensil flirtations), I still have visions of the perfect daybed: Cozy and comfy with a touch of personality. I'd love to invest in a quality daybed for my sun room or perhaps for a lovely fireplace nook. Of course, if I ever grow tired of having a daybed in my living room, I suppose I could hand it down to my future daughter -- if she promises not to flirt with any Billys.
Here are a few daybeds I've got my eye on:

ReplyYour article is off base about 390 degrees! I didn't see any for EVERY BUDGET!!!!!
Wow, Linda - 390 degrees, huh? That's pretty awesome, considering full circle is 360 degrees.
They show you daybeds for $100 - $2100 in this article. If you want one for less than $100, I'd suggest Goodwill or a Salvation Army store. You could also check the classified section of your newspaper.
