Beautiful bargains and pricey pieces

A thread for the materialists.

What are the bargain items in your home you're proudest of?

What are the pricey things that you're glad you splashed the cash on?

I'll go first. My bargain is a lampshade that someone I knew was about to chuck out. After lots of elbow grease the brass bit is shiny and looks like new. Not to everyone's taste but I love it.

My expensive thing is an antique bureau style desk with unusual dimensions that I bought to fit in a very specific space in my home. It has great storage, is a perfect wfh space and brings me joy to look at. It was around £700, which was a silly amount of money for me to spend but I'll have it forever and it makes me happy so I think was worth it.
