Room Recipe

I've gotten lots of questions about where some of our furniture/decor comes from so I thought it might help if I break it down, starting with the master bedroom. Exact items that are still available for purchase are linked below...keep in mind that I got every single thing in this room on sale, so it pays to be patient.
1. Bed - Z Gallerie - Victoria Sleigh Bed
2. Table lamps - Restoration Hardware - Crystal Banister Lamps
3. Nightstands - Bombay Company
4. Mirrors - Ballard Designs
5. Linens - Restoration Hardware - Italian Satin Stitch Bedding
6. Bench - Ballard Designs - Simone Bench
7. Rug - Jonathan Adler
8. Vanity Mirror - Wisteria - Embossed Bone Flower Mirror
9. Floor lamp - Local store
9. Chandelier - antique
10. Vanity and Chest - antique


Some of our stuff is no longer available or is an antique/hand-me-down so I've listed budget-friendly substitution ideas as well. I went as cheap as possible, because I know that most budgets are super tight. Just keep in mind that I'm not vouching for the quality. 

I'm a big believer in high-low, however, there are certain pieces that I'm willing to pay more for. In this room, those items included the bed, crystal lamps, and linens. After I pulled the trigger on those, I filled in the gaps with cheaper finds. On bargain items, I like to see/touch before purchasing or make sure that returning the item is an easy option (for example, Target stores accept returns). The last thing you want, is to receive something that looks cheap and it ends up being too expensive to ship back. This factor is what makes thrifting/antiquing worth it...plus you can usually bargain with sellers.


Bed


Nightstands

If you're over the mirrored furniture thing, this would be a great alternative!

Crystal Lamps

Mirrors
Ballard Designs - Kenton Chain Link Mirror
(Spray paint ivory, if you don't like the mixed metals look)

Linens
Overstock.com - Hotel Collection
I really like the platinum color or black.

Bench

If you want more flexibility with the rug options, go with a solid instead of a stripe
The Company Store - Tufted Skirted Storage Bench


Rug
West Elm - Circles Rug (this one could go with the striped bench)



Vanity Mirror
Ballard Designs - D'Orsay Mirror

Chandelier

New at Ballard

I clicked through an email today to preview Ballard Designs' 2010 collection. Favorites...

Love the print on these drapes






Of course, more geometric fabric...and it's linen!



For an industrial touch, there's the Weston Floor Lamp



Wish there were more size options in this Athene Rug


The Geneve Indoor/Outdoor Rug is in the running to be put in my breakfast room

This one's cute too: Farrah Indoor/Outdoor Rug


Durham End Table, seems like a pretty good value at $249


Bone Mirror - such a pretty shape and color.


Lily Mirror...would look SO good against black/dark walls!


Cavaillon Chain Mirror, very interesting. Comes in three different sizes...thus the LARGE label.
