I’ve been re-decorating my room and have been looking for a new desk, I really like this one from PB teen, but its a little spendy. If you can help me find a similar one i would be so grateful!
Thanks!

Design Dilemma
| Pendant Chandelier |
My husband and I have been living in our first home for about two years now, making it our own (as it was in perfect move in condition when we bought it). One thing I’ve been having a hard time with is our dining room… I can’t seem to find a light fixture to fill the space and match the look we’re going for. We have vaulted ceilings in that room, and furniture/textiles that give off a comfortable contemporary look. I’m really into Pottery Barn right now, but there’s no way I can afford it, so I was wondering if you know of any “knock-offs” that are similar to this chandelier?
Thanks so much, I love following your blog!

“I really enjoy reading your blog, and I was wondering if you might be willing to put your bargain shopping powers to work to find me a cheaper version of this Moroccan tray.”– Samantha
This West Elm table is very similar, BUT it’s not quite as decoratvie as the inspiration piece.
Hammered Tray + Medina Stand = $139
Here are a couple I found, but they’re not really the right size…Can anyone find anything better?

” You are my last hope. I found this great mirror at PB Teen – it swivels and has shelves on one side ( with an added bonus of a cork board on the side and hooks on the other side). It is $600 at PB Teen. I have scoured the web looking for something like it – to no avail – but I can’t imagine PB are the only people to come up with this good idea.”
– Leah

Reader Request: Williams Sonoma Home Cosmopolitan Console Table
Happy Friday Guys! I’ve decided to start another feature for the blog! I’ve gotten a few requests from readers and sometimes I’m just not able to find a good “copy cat”. Sooo, I figured more heads is better than one. How do you all feel like helping out a fellow reader? Let’s give it a shot shall we?
This week’s reader request is from Lelis. She’s looking for an alternative to Williams Sonoma Home’s Cosmopolitan Console Table. This is a gorgeous piece, but the price tag? Not so gorgeous. 😉 At $1,250 it’s a little more than the average person would want to spend on a console table, dontcha think?
Williams Sonoma Home’s Cosmopolitan Console Table = $1,250.00
So help a reader out folks…anyone out there seen a similar table for less? I’ve looked at a few of my usual suspects, but haven’t quite found anything that looks anything like it.
