    So funny because I design pillows and last week I ordered this same ikat from L&S (I will be listing them on ebay soon!).
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    You read my mind, I've been looking for some bentwood chairs. Sadly I think I'll have to go with the ikea ones. But I've had my eye out for them when I hit Goodwill.

    great job!! love it!

  12. Claire Watkins, ASID allied says:

    Nice work!! Love the blue and the combination of elements. Thanks for the SyRoco tip, too, I did not know that. Did a post last week on Thonet chairs (the dining chairs featured in the room). They were mass produced in Europe and can often be found on Craigslist or Ebay, as well. Just search 'bentwood chairs' or 'Thonet'. I found 6/$180 last week on Craigslist before noticing that Pieces (in Atlanta) offers them for $450/ EA! Wowzers!
    Also, big snaps for the bird paper yesterday!

  13. Kimberly says:

    Thank you thank you! I've been looking for some things in this exact design, and it's like you've done all the work for me!

  14. Starfish and Sundresses says:

    Wow, this is fantastic! So many great finds!

  15. LindsB says:

    Very pretty kitchen, I think I even like your budget version better.

  16. Laura@JourneyChic says:

    I've been eyeing that toss pillow fabric for ages – I think I'm going to use it for a faux roman shade in our powder room.

  17. RLG says:

    Sara's kitchen was featured in Domino (the book) and was THE inspiration for my own kitchen makeover. I love greige walls and navy accents. Probably my all-time favorite combination. So fresh. Great post! xoxo

  18. Design Darling says:

    you found some really great lookalikes! the unfinished furniture site seems like a great resource and that settee is incredible! i really enjoyed this post 🙂

  19. Julia says:

    I have LOVED this room forever. Thanks for the great post.

  20. Christine says:

    Thanks for the tip on finding mirrors on ebay!

    I have been watching a few on ebay for my dining room and one was just like the gold one you show and my plan too was to paint it white.

  21. Full House says:

    I especially think you did a fabulous job on this look for less because I just happened to have sent for a fabric sample of that blue from LS Sheron.

  22. meredith says:

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]

Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]

What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]

I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
