| Pottery Barn's Samantha Entryway Collection |

Tuesday, March 31, 2009


Another fun entryway post. If you looking for a nice addition to your mudroom or your front entryway, look no further! I love Pottery Barn's Samantha Collection, it's classic. And you know what? It's not really even that expensive....but of course, there's always a cheaper option!

Pottery Barn's Samantha Entryway Collection for $499.00


JCPenney's Clark Wall Shelf & Bench for half that price, $249.99! And guess what? That includes the baskets & the cushions.

Now that's a great deal!

| Adirondack Chairs from Pottery Barn |

Monday, March 30, 2009


It's officially Spring time now! And I figured it was time for the Copy Cat to get with the picture. It's time for an outdoor-focused post. Now tell me, how can you not be excited! ;)

Okay, Adirondacks have got to be the most well known style of outdoor chairs....really. And Pottery Barn offers us a great solid quality version. BUT throw The Company Store's version in the mix and there's just no contest.



The Company Store's Adirondack Chair and Ottoman one for $129.00 or TWO for $198

| Gallery Wall |

Friday, March 27, 2009

Okay, I promised a picture of my new West Elm bedding, I know, I know. You guys will just have to be patient though :) I'm waiting until I find the perfect shams! BUT, here's a little tidbit for you. The hubs and I just put up a gallery wall in the bedroom. We gathered pictures/frames from everywhere in the house and threw it up there. Not too bad huh? You'll have to overlook a couple of the empty frames...lol...it's not quite 100% complete.


Happy Friday and I hope you guys have a great weekend. The weather is gooorgeous here in the SF Bay Area so I know I will!

| Sapien Bookcase from DWR |


Yet another chapter in my home office quest ;) You have to admire the sleek look of a spine bookcase. What a unique way of storing your book collection! This is a very modern look, not quite sure if it will go with my sort of old fashioned Oak home office. But I'd love to make it work. They seem so precarious though, anyone out there have personal experience with them?

Anyways, there's quite a few options out there now!

The Sapien Bookcase from Design Within Reach for $298.00


The West Elm Cadman Spine Bookase for $149.00


JCPenney's Spine Book Tower for $129.00


Home Decorator's Collection Spine Book Tower for $119.00



Spine Book Tower
$109.99

Quite the plethora of options, I'd say...

| Organic Pin-Tuck Duvet |


Okay I've been eying the Organic Cotton Pin-Tuck Duvet from West Elm lately, but they haven't been carrying it in white which is what I need for the ole' master bedroom. I've been seeing this bedding EVERYWHERE, haven't you? I was browsing www.WestElm.com and it looks like they now have it in white! Woo hoo!

I was planning on using this post as one of my Chic Finds,
but now I can't...you'll see why ;)

West Elm's Organic Pin-Tuck (Queen) Duvet in White for $99.99


Target's Kissing Pleat Comforter Set in White for $99.99

Okay so my Chic Find isn't such a find anymore...lol. BUT there are a few differences to note. One the Target bedding is actually a comforter, not a comforter cover. AND the Target set also includes two shams and a bedskirt.

| KWID Trellis Continued |



Is anyone out there tired of this pattern yet? Suprisingly...I'm not! Unfortunately, I was a procrastinator and never bought those delicious Z Gallerie pillows I posted about. Today I was putting around my local outlets and walked into Marshall's. Lookie what I found for only $10! Even though I'm like 2 years late...here I am ;)


Also I picked up these yummy bamboo sheets from Target. They even have a grey embroidered line for trim (I'm sloooowly updating our bedroom to a monochromatic white, gray & black theme.) The sheets are so soft and guess what? They're only $22.49 down from $89.99! A STEAL! They are available online too so hurry and get your orders in before they run out.

| Avery Bombe Chest |

Sunday, March 22, 2009

Here's a fun one! I love this elegant little chest, I know a few of you are too. It would make such a great entryway addition or even perfect for the guestroom. Fun but not too stuffy. It has the perfect touch of modern and yet its still traditional. Convinced yet?

| Pottery Barn VS... The Company Store? |

Friday, March 20, 2009


Yep, that's right! It's battle to the death time... j/k. Try not to squint and cheat, but guess which one is Pottery Barn and which one is The Company Store...not what you expect, huh?


Pottery Barn's Brady Entry Way Suite will set you back $1,289, but now The Company Store has the Westfield Hallway Bench on SALE for only $287!!!! Holy smokes, now is that a deal or what? And you know what, I like the look of the Westfield Bench better!!! :D

| Robert Abbey's Peacock Ceramic Lamp |

Wednesday, March 18, 2009


This Young House...this one's for you!

I was browsing one of my favorite, most inspiring, all around fun blogs: This Young House, and I saw on their side bar that they are "Digging" this Robert Abbey Peacock Ceramic lamp. What a fun lamp and it would make a nice pop of color in a neutral room. It's $179.91 though...a little bit more than I'd want to spend...So I found a couple of similar alternatives :)


Robert Abbey's Peacock Ceramic Lamp = $179.91



PBTeen's Fluted Lamp in Blue = $59.00



PBTeen's Bubble Up Lamp in Pool = $59.00



Pair either of these lamps with a nice neutral Ripe Shade from IKEA for only $6 and you're good to go!

| Williams Sonoma Home Office |


I've been slowly redoing my home office, so in honor of that...Presenting my newest Room Redo!

This home office from Williams Sonoma Home, is very chic & sophisticated. I've taken a few liberties, for example I chose a wall color that would compliment the Copy Chat Chic room. The Navy is just an interpretation of what I think the room would look good with, that is, if you don't have floor to ceiling wood paneling!

Also another side note: Little did I know when tackling this inspiration image, how difficult it would be to find a tartan/plaid wing back chair. Ouch! So instead, I used a chair with a different (but just as classic) pattern: Houndstooth. In fact it looks like Williams Sonoma Home doesn't carry the tartan fabric anymore, but they do have houndstooth! ;)

I hope you enjoy!



Williams Sonoma Home Total: $4,428.99
Side Chair: Carved Bamboo Painted Side Chair = $395.00
Desk: Mason Glass Top Desk Large = $1,450.00
Storage Boxes: No longer available online = $79.99

Wastebin: No longer available online = $68.00
Desk Lamp: Loft Table Lamp = $325.00
Vase: No longer available online = $148.00
Rug: No longer available online= $595.00




Copy Cat Total: $930.91
