Make it your own: A Lonny dining room

I made something for you!
Another, Make it your own post. I love love this dining room from Lonny.
The relaxing shade of blue and perfect pairing of the modern white tulip table with the rustic chairs.
So, if you could make this look, here are some items that are either exactly the same or pretty darn close.




So glad it's already Tuesday. Also, I need good sources for finding curtains!

Make it your own: Angie Hranowsky style

Good laud, (that's what my kids say) this was one tough "make it your own" search. It took me two days, granted I worked on it whenever I had a free minute or two!
I've always loved this room by Angie Hranowsky, it has the perfect mix of colors and texture!


Isn't it just gorgeous (I try to do the "cool" thing and shorten my words like other bloggers, like instead of gorgeous I would say "gorg"..but I just can't do it..I feel like I'm trying too hard!)





1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

(the chair that I have listed can be painted white)
A few extras that wouldn't fit....





This pendant shade is probably the same exact one from Circa Lighting. Insert arm and leg! If your crafty and really want this look, I say buy a similar shade, get some gold flashing (for the inside of the shade) and swing by Lowe's and grab a light electrical kit to put it all together!
I left out the dining room table and rug, because I searched and couldn't find anything online, but I'm sure you could find a similar table at a vintage or antique store.

What do you think, please share some other sources for rugs and lighting!!

Make it your own: House of Fifty


I'm really loving the new House of Fifty magazine.
Have you seen it? You should definitely check it out!

My favorite was Saudah Saleem, she created her
 own "closet" out of her old master bedroom. I love the mix of items in this room
from the pendant drum shade to the chevron inspired rug, and the mix of vintage and modern.
Sometimes we (I) look at rooms, drool over them, sometimes store
 them as inspiration and move on, but I would
really like to find similar peices that are in the room (on a less expensive scale)
and share them with you! It's actually simple, and with a few adjustments
you can easily get the same look!
This is Saudah's room...

And here are similar peices....

Table: West Elm
Pendant drum shade (Looks exactly the same to me!): Bellacor
Bookshelves: Ikea



Side table: Crate and Barrel
 

Chevron rug: Amazon ($109..people you can't bet it!)


Class it up with a few Fashion Illustrations, I found these on Pinterest.

I would search through your local antique stores and Craiglist for vintage settees and chairs, that's where I always find mine, and for great deals!
