Who has not seen and fallen in love with the Hallings Secretary by Thomas O’Brien for Hickory Chair?
It even made it into Big and Carrie’s room in Sex and the City 2…..
The price isn’t for the faint of heart. But, for less than 1/2 the cost, what do you think of this number from Global Views? Not a reproduction by any means, but similar lines don’t you think?
I am liking the mirrored front and the orange interior.
I love the idea of using images from books as an inexpensive way to get good bang for your buck for collections of wall art. One of the best examples of this is from designer Lauren Liess who used the pages of a da Vinci sketchbook to frame art for high impact in her foyer.

Check out the Illustrations of Olaf Hajek for some beautiful and vibrant images that would be spectacular as part of a collection of wall art….
And I am loving these sketchbooks which are waaaaaayyy more affordable than the shoes themselves. How fun would these illustrations be in a dressing room or a tween’s bedroom? I am loving these images!
What about you, any great books you would recommend as sources for wall art? I’d love to hear about them.
Finally, don’t forget to enter to win a yard of Kelly Wearstler’s Imperial Trellis Fabric.
Loving this casual dining space in the home of designer Leslie Sachs….

How about this as an affordable rug to help re-create the look?
The “Zuel” Rug from The Rug Market.
What do you think?
Quick post today. Our house officially lists and I am headed to Dallas to *hopefully* finish house-hunting. This time, Daddy is watching Maddie and I am enlisting the help of my mom and sister for the search. So looking forward to some girl time, even if I am cramming 4 school tours and 17 houses into three days.
Anyways, love this office from Sarah Richardson.

And, while I don’t think this is the exact source of the pendant above, I think this number from Uttermost has got the look, no? It also comes in an aged metal finish and in sconce versions…
Uttermost “Alita” Champagne, Metal Hanging Shade
I quite like the price points of the Uttermost line. In fact, I have on of their chandeliers in my foyer…..and everyone is always amazed that I scored it for under $200.
P.S., don’t forget about my giveaway of six yards of the new Thom Filicia fabric! The winner will be announced on Monday.
This Suzanne Kasler designed dining room has been in my inspiration files for a while now. In fact, it sealed the deal on the round vs. rectangular debate when I was shopping for my dining room. (The table below is by New Classics and was out of my price range….but I love mine by Henredon just the same).

I also love the mirror which was from Mrs. Howard in Atlanta. So, today while doing some research for a client, I was excited to come across this newish mirror from Theodore Alexander. Not bad in the look alike category, in my opinion. Do you agree?
And, for those of you wondering about the other products, the chairs are from Artistic Frame. The fabulous grasscloth is from Phillip Jeffries and the fabric for the draperies is from Kelly Wearstler via Schumacher. I love it all!
On an unrelated note, thanks for all of the comments and emails of encouragement after my last post. I got a TON done off my to do list this week—which is making me feel much better. Today, while sitting through my joyous 28 week glucose test (praying I pass) I even made progress on one of the potty training books recommended (thanks Mindy)….so maybe success in that arena will follow soon too!
Regardless, hope you have a great weekend!
I am totally in love with this pattern (Flowering Quince) from Clarence House.

But, I also realize that every budget may not allow for fabric that is over $170 per yard or wallpaper that is over $80 per yard. So, check out this fabric from Braemore called “Flowering Branch.”
Here, designer Caitlin Creer used the fabric to upholster a chair. Doesn’t it look fantastic?
Can you guess the price on this look alike? If you google the pattern you can find it available for as low as about $15 / yard! Do you have your heart set on the wallpaper? Consider having the fabric paper backed for use on the walls. Now, that’s a look for less, don’t you think?
