Look for Less: Megan Young Designs
Last week my jaw dropped when I saw the work of Megan Young Designs featured on Daniela’s blog.
I loved how the space had neutral wall paint, rug and furniture picks yet it was full of color in the accessories. I space I would totally love to call my own.
So I decided to recreate the look myself on a budget.
1. Amazing fretwork style mirror for $427. Love the scale and detailing on it.
2. Clean lined console that is all wood and can be repainted in Benjamin Moore Slate Teal.
3. Natural fiber storage baskets for underneath the console.
4. Cozy leather and hemp rug for seating area. Only $92!
5. Reproduction Wassily chair in brown. *Checked for a camel colored version and came up empty handed, but perhaps you can have it recovered in this camel colored leather.
6. I would probably have one splurge and pick up a Chiang Mai Dragon pillow, but if I wanted to save my pennies I would use this fabric instead. It has a similar vibe and is only $15 a yard. Also available in a red background. Of course seeing this little peek into the room made me completely curious as to what the rest of the space looked like. Let me tell you it did not disappoint.

Love the pop of blue in the piping!
Bravo Megan! Great job!

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.
I had just given up on ever having chiang mai….now I want it all over again!
My we have a name for the red and white curtain fabric, too? (hoping it comes in a green or navy!)
That room is fantastic! Gorgeous teal!
