Design Sleuth
December 12, 2008
Who is the 'sleuth', well, we don't know! A note was sent via a trusted emissary, you know, the kind with an eye patch and dressed in Prussian military regalia, and suddenly, with a click of heels and a curt bow, we at largom were kindly informed that every week the sleuth would send us the best in homes and design, written on an old legal-pad, that we were then under strict instructions to burn.
Rumour has it the sleuth lives behind an old fridge on Ebay, but that’s just rumour, conjecture has it the sleuth lives under the floorboards at IKEA, searching the discount aisles at night for the best bargains, but that’s just conjecture. All we know with any certainty is that every week the sleuth brings us great home ideas that won't break the bank! This week the sleuth sleuthed auctions and found some rough gems.
Open the gallery at the top of the page to see this week’s sleuthing, individual items and prices are listed below.
