everything is lovely (as always!), but i was sad to see the original sofa go. it had an interesting texture and nice clean lines. you could have probably just done away with the odd assortment of throw pillows and it would have looked amazing! :)

Great job, guys! This is definitely a more modern look from you and you did a lovely job.

Overstock.com for the bookcase. I bought two. They are 109.99 with $1 shipping!!! More expensive for the same version from Target with more expensive shipping. Go with overstock…best price for the same manufacturer. I painted mine and they look fab.

Hey Copy Cat Chic,

Great post! I’d say go for it. It’s a total classic and it’ll add vertical interest and iconic style. Hooray for less expensive alternatives!

xo,

I’ve found a few cheaper options for that bookcase too! Check out my blog post about it: http://tinyurl.com/dglzav :) I love it. I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to get it for my home office. Still haven’t made up my mind!

I think this may be a cheaper version of that bookshelf (which I’ve had my eye on ever since my roommate got one!):

I love it all! So young and fresh! I have the bookcase and I absolutely adore it! I highly recommend it. It fits perfect in tight spaces!

I went through the same thing with a light fixture last weekend. I found what I needed at Home Depot for $8. I believe what you need is called a canopy kit, and it generally comes with all the hardware you’ll need to mount the fixture to the box in the ceiling.

Oh I can not tell you how excited that makes me, the fixture I have been eyeing looks like it is the same one you have in your dining area and I might have to run off and hunt for medallions right now! I didn’t think it would be that easy!

Thanks a million! I should send you a picture of my horrible fixture so you can see what you have saved me from!
