I'm so thrilled you guys seem to love these copy cat posts from Colleen as much as I do! Colleen has the best eye and knows when to splurge and when to save. She also is a FANTASTIC flea market partner in crime. We always find gems together. My favorite find was these midcentury chrome and brass coffee tables for Colleen's living room. So gorgeous!!
Here's Colleen with an amazing dining room redux:
If this room were for a client, I'd trawl the flea market and Ebay for a vintage option, but I'm quite enjoying this new chandelier that nods to the original Murano. For a different but still lovely Murano-style look, try the Calais Chandelier from Z Gallerie.
Celerie used shagreen chairs of her own design in this room. Grey chairs with Mid-Century lines are still faithful to the look. Another option are these Klismos chairs from West Elm.
Complete the chairs with plush mohair in a chocolate hue.
I've been dreaming of this flatware for months now. It's on my "when I'm rich and fabulous" list. Target fortunately has an interpretation in stainless.
One of the Jonathan Adler decorating tips I've taken to heart is to replace your hardware with lucite. It's instant glamour!
To keep window treatments from being over the top, pair the lucite rod with linen drapes.
These ceramic artichokes would be cute on a mantel too.
The art in the room is by Alex Timchula, but framing wallpaper is a great option. You could also get botanical prints from Etsy.
Most lightly-stained farmhouse tables would do the trick here. Top with simple glass plates.
This pale peachy-pink evokes just enough glamour.
Spray paint the hardware a brass shade and you'd be good to go! For something a little more Regency, try this buffet from Home Decorator's.
Awesome! Just learned of some great new resources. I also like that you included additional resources for certain items.Thx

ReplyDeletefantastic!!! i love what you found! I especially love your idea of framing the floral wallpaper, because as I was searching for LARGE artwork similar to shown, I realized how incredibly pricey it is. I also love the peach shade of paint you chose. Thank you for copycatting this dining room!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, informative post! I esp love the tip about using lucite curtain rods to add a small touch of glam. Much more budget friendly than splurging on a lucite coffee table or side chairs!
ReplyDeleteI love the chandelier and artichokes! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of very similar artichoke pieces at HomeGoods this week, for a lot less! Hmm, maybe I need to go back!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Lots of beautiful ideas for the dining room! Hope you get a chance to stop by my blog sometime! ♥ http://organicglam.blogspot.com/ ♥

Julie, thanks for the tip about that flatware! Someone already snapped it up, but vintage seems to be the way to go for those!
ReplyDeleteI really love what you did with the curtain rods and the paint color. In fact, I chose a similar color for our foyer/hallway paint... BM HC60 - Queen Anne Pink. I love it! It adds a little *light* where I have none. :)
