If you're an HGTV junkie like me, you'll recognize this title as Sabrina Soto's show on the channel. On her version of the show, she creates her clients dream room (living room, office, bedroom, etc) with an unlimited budget (high), shows it to them, they fall it love with it, and then it all goes back to the store. Sabrina then needs to recreate the same look and feel with a budget decided by the clients (low). Sometimes her dream rooms cost $40K, and the clients only have a budget of $5K. Pretty big gap, yet I've never seen Sabrina fail at the task.
My version of the High/Low project will center around getting high priced designer looks, for low(er) prices. My first challenge: fall fashions!
