Design Dilemma

Design Dilemma | Sarah Eisler Great Room

copycatchic interior design dilemma a modern farmhouse living room and dining room for around $3000 luxe living for less budget home decor and design

copycatchic interior design dilemma a modern farmhouse living room and dining room for around $3000 luxe living for less budget home decor and design

Last month I started this new blog/YouTube series with Coby O’Sullivan’s sitting room, and this month I took on Sarah Eisler‘s great room! I’ve followed Sarah on Instagram for awhile now, being a equestrian lover and her being in the horse world. So when I saw her design dilemma submission come through, I knew I wanted to help a fellow horse-lover out 🙂 Sarah moved into her new home not too long ago and needed some help with her combined living and dining room. AND she needed it all on a pretty tight budget…for around $3,000. So I put together a design for her that covers the main pieces that she’ll need to outfit the space and she can fill it all in with accessories as needed. Take a look and let me know  what you think!

I have to admit it was hard furnishing what was basically a dining room AND a living room for $3,000. So I decided to show you what $5,300 will get you 😉 Links to the products are above!

Here is Sarah’s before picture of the room. This is the sale listing photo, so not her furniture. She’s also painted it Sherwin Williams Tree Swallow and Requisite Grey.

And the inspiration images that Sarah gave me were all client work that I did in the past! You can check them out here: Naomi’s living room, Julie’s dining room, Dani’s living/dining room and Anne’s dining room.

I’m starting a new YouTube series with videos helping you guys with your decorating questions.

The Return of Reader Requests and Welcome Kayla!

I have a fun announcement for you all: We are bringing back our reader requests feature! I hope you all are as excited as I am! I used to take on reader requests a few years ago, but discontinued the service because I just didn’t have the time. Fortunately, I’ve found a home shopping expert that will now be working exclusively on your requests.
I’d like you all to welcome Kayla Taylor as the latest member of the Copy Cat Chic team. She’s as passionate about chic home decorating on the cheap, just like I am. Her home was just featured on one of my favorite blogs, 6th Street Design School. You can also follow Kayla on Instagram @kaylawtaylor.

I’m Kayla Taylor. I’m a college graduate, wife to a graduate student, momma-in-training to a baby and toddler, ballet teacher, and die hard thrifter. I live for Target clearance sales and half-off Saturdays. I love fabric, pillows, and custom upholstery and reupholster almost anything good I can get my hands on. I hoard brass footed bowls and faux taxidermy. In my next life, I will be an abstract artist.

Kayla has already sourced a few of your reader requests located on the Reader Request Pinterest Board. Here’s an example of one!

HORCHOW AMBELLA TITAN CONSOLE
horchow ambella titan console

$2,400




WISTERIA ANTIQUED ART DECO CONSOLE TABLE


wisteria ANTIQUED ART DECO CONSOLE TABLE

Reader Requests and Keep.com

I wanted to thank all of you that filled out my reader survey! It’s been so helpful so far and it’s still open for those of you who’d like to leave your feedback 🙂 I’ll be talking more about the changes coming up as a result of the survey in the next few weeks.


One thing I’ve been noticing a lot of lately is reader requests. There were a couple of comments on the survey from readers who would love for reader requests to be opened back up. While I won’t be taking on reader requests (on a paid basis), I will be organizing them on my brand new Keep Reader Request Board. 





So from now on you can email me all of your requests and I’ll post them on my request board. That way I can remember them and you guys can see them as well! If you ever happen to see a cheaper option of a reader request, feel free to comment on the product and help us all out!


Oh and just a side note, if you email me a reader request, I most likely won’t respond to each and every one. Rest assured, I’ve most likely have seen it. I just don’t have time these days to respond to every email. I wish I could, but it’s hard with amount of emails I receive daily. If you’re anxious to see if I’ve received your request, check my Keep board and see if your product has been added. I’ll also add a hashtag with your name (#FirstLast), unless you specify otherwise. That way you’ll be able to find your product (and any cheaper alternatives posted by others) easily.



Now, let’s talk about Keep.com. I’m very excited to be a brand new curator and “keeper”. I just created my account yesterday! You might have heard of Keep already from Jenny, that’s where I first heard of it. It’s very similar to Pinterest but I like the fact the interface is fresh, sleek and just a little more hip. I also think it has the potential to be more organized. I like Jenny’s idea of sourcing products on Keep and using Pinterest for inspiration. I need some major help in the organization department, that’s for sure, so I’m looking forward to a fresh start!


Come and join me on Keep and let me know if you already have an account, I’d love to find some more people to follow!

Pottery Barn Kids Dream Rocker

I hope you all have fun weekends planned! Take advantage of all three days! The hubs & I just went to Ikea and bought two Applaro Chaise Lounges from this post. Loooving them so far 🙂 We’ll see how they wear though. They were easy to put together too! And they look GREAT, makes me want to go lounge…sigh.
Anyways, let’s continue on with today’s post shall we? 😉 It’s reader request time!

I’m shopping for a glider for my living room since I’m expecting twins J I love the PBK Eco Glider and Ottoman but I don’t love the price. Any chance you might be able to find something similar for cheaper?? I hope so!

Best,
Cara

Pottery Barn Kid’s Eco Comfort Swivel Glider = $850+
Walmart’s Dorel Rocking Chair = $229.88

Pottery Barn Bedford Project Table Set

OK this a reader request! I know you guys have seen plenty of  knock-offs of this Pottery Barn desk. Target’s is sold out on their website and JCPenney’s no longer has one available…Any other ideas?

I have been looking for a Pottery Barn Bedford Project Table for around $400.00.  It is almost impossible.  The Pottery Barn Bedford Project Table is currently on special for $949.00 which does not include the shipping.  With shipping it will probably be close to $1,200.00 easily.

I was wondering if you or your readers found anything for a little less than $599.00?

Take care,
Anya

Pottery Barn’s Bedford Project Table Set = $949.00 (on special)

Hayneedle’s Venture Horizon Project Center Desk = $599.99
