She said, “Cheap but stylish.”
And in another video she showed off a white wardrobe from budget store The Range.
She showed how she transformed her bedroom with the Lara Wardrobe, which features a sleek, contoured door that gives a modern look.
This wardrobe is not only stylish but also practical. It is easy to assemble and easy to clean.
