get the look

some spaces are so drool worthy, we cannot help but want to redo every room in our house one hundred times over. 

when we stumbled upon the city sage's post on the hunt, we knew we had to use this picture for our next get the look:

 

for the wainscotting, we chose ash from restoration hardware from the slate collection.

we've found several lamps that would suit this room:

pottery barn: $269 

 

pottery barn: $149  

west elm: $99 

 

sundance: $175  

now, we know this tub isn't exactly the one in the picture. but our feeling is that no claw foot tub is wrong. and that restoration hardware does no wrong. so the more we stare at this tub, the more we drool and find it absolutely necessary for our next bathroom renovation.

  

restoration: $3110-$3410  

we like these restoration curtains ($99-$139) in white, with these pottery barn rods ($69-$89) in antique bronze:

and our favorite piece, besides everything else in the bathroom:

 

the train rack from restoration: $279 in the chrome finish.

then we'd like to top it off with restoration's turkish towels ($8-$46) in white:

 

of course we need a 5 gallon water jug to  accessorize our look:

$22.95 

 

and we'd like to put our new jug in this vintage farm basket for $43.

what do you think?

get the look

we often stumble upon interior styling perfection. by often, of course, we mean daily.

many times, we look at a picture, it gives us warm fuzzies and we wish we could make our spaces look like the picture. but we shrug it off as a professional photo shoot and something that we could never achieve.

that is until now.

every wednesday we're featuring a 'get the look' segment. we'll break down a room so we, as well as all my lovelies, can achieve what was once the unachievable.

when we stumbled across this picture (warm fuzzies in tow), we knew it had to be the inaugural get the look. we love the colors, the intricate, delicate, and unexpected details, and that gasp worthy clock (which we trolled the internet for days trying to locate....which we did!)

first we need a modern poster bed. we found this one from room and board for $999. but you can think of the bed as a blank canvas, you can funk it up, dress it up, make it mod - do whatever you want. so this look would work on almost any bed.

this tapestry, from urban outfitters for $28, is pretty darn close to our inspiration picture:

our next issue is the pillows. don't be afraid to mix colors or patterns or sizes! (or textures, materials, etc)

the tailor striped sham  from west elm is a doable stand- in for the large black and white print pillow.

now for some good shapes and patterns, from our dear friends at anthro (respectively: $68-168, $88, and $50):

 and from urban outfitters (respectively: $20, $24, and $28)

 

  

 

  

we're loving this one from z gallerie:

and then there's the union jack pillow. 

this one is from urban outfitters, but is no longer available.

 karen hilton designs has this one available on her etsy shop for $66:

for a carpet, we like this option from ikea for $399. it's not as busy as the one in our photo, but we're digging the color choice:

instead of the cute little stool in the picture, we've picked out a folded chair from anthro, for $199:

and last, but certainly not least, the large clock on the wall. at first we thought that this clock was porcelain. but it looked like a pillow. and after scouring for something remotely similar to this clock (for two weeks, may we add)  we found it. the conran shop has this clock (it's knit!) for $575. 

quite dissapointing. 

THEN, this VERY MORNING, we found THE CLOCK for....

wait for it....

SIXTY NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY FIVE CENTS. $69.95. 

of course, we found it on anthro:

so we put it all together....
(okay, it's not that pretty, but we can see it all at once...)
