Comments on: Eryn’s Design Dilemma http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/12/eryns-design-dilemma/ Two Young People + One Old House = Love Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:03:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: YoungHouseLove http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/12/eryns-design-dilemma/comment-page-1/#comment-8136 YoungHouseLove Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:21:20 +0000 http://www.thisyounghouse.com/?p=5800#comment-8136 Erica- Thanks so much for the Belifort Furniture tip. We'll definitely have to check it out! <br> Sara- Thanks for the curtain warning. We think we remember seeing them in person and they appeared to be soft and muted. Is there any way you were confusing them with these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10117486 or these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10112016 Those are two of their brighter (and less green versions) with similar patterns so I wonder if they threw you off? Either way if Eryn snags 'em and they look too bright, she can always go with a solid soft green that matches the wall color or even a pale cream or white for an equally tranquil feeling in the space. Hope it helps! <br> Katie- The other colors in the palette represent other tones that we'll be bringing in through wood furniture (the deep brown), and a few other pieces (the creams and neutrals represent everything from the rug and the couch to the pillows and the pendant light). And our pale gray-green on the walls (represented by the second swatch) will really tie everything together and enliven all the neutrals. Can't wait to see those afters! <br> Jbhat & Blayne- Thanks for the shopping tips! We're all about taking the theme and running with it so it's great that Eryn knows where to dig up other options on a dime! <br> xoxo, Sherry

Can't wait for the afters! Love the mercury glass bowls. Also, Target has some mercury glass items in their Seasonal decor, I don't remember if they had any bowls but they definitely have candle sticks. Looks gorgeous! Can’t wait for the afters!

That red is hurting my eyes! Oh, and I was just at Urban Outfitters at lunch and they have a beautiful metallic pillow on sale for even less at $20.00. (I almost picked one up!)

Wish I had a way to work in that pendant somewhere in my house! Unfortunately, I hate to burst your bubble...those curtains look WAY different in person. If they are the same ones I saw (I am 99% sure they are...leaving 1% since my last IKEA trip was in Sept.) then they are very green. Not at all calm and relaxing like the online picture. Be sure to check em out in person. Can't wait to see the finished product! Love the moodboard. Wish I had a way to work in that pendant somewhere in my house!

Just a tip, no one can beat your coffee table find at the thrift sale... but I just bought an (almost) identical coffee table from a store in my area called Bellfort Furniture. They have tons of "Pottery Barn" look-a-likes. Our's ended up being around $200 which is a savings from the PB version! Can’t wait to see the end results.
