Design Synthesis: The Gilded Home

Posted by Steph Auteri


[$698, Anthropologie

I am so addicted to furniture I don't need (or can't even fit into my condo) , so of course this side table from Anthropologie caught my eye. Now, of course, I'm going to obsess about all the pretty pretty pieces I can surround it with.

 

 

 

 

I went a little wild on ShopStyle, pulling together an entire bedroom around the tiny Anthropologie table.

The bed I "picked up" from Macy's, on sale for $1,299. The rest of the furniture comes from JCPenney. I was pleasantly surprised by their line of French Country pieces, such as the chest ($499), mirror ($169), and armoire ($199.99) pictured above. They also had a great set of drapes ($14.99-$16.99) that matched quite nicely. As I've been in lust with boldly-patterened wallpaper lately, I decided to add in the above wallpaper ($310 for two rolls) from Design Public. Following in the theme of gold embellishments, I also included candles ($9.95-$10.95) from Crate and Barrel. All of this, in my opinion, would look fabulous with some carefully chosen, deep purple accents. For now, I've shown a Ralph Lauren throw pillow ($157.49), and vases ($38-$98) from Unica Home.

Think you could do better? Send in your suggestions!
