Maybe you're trying to set up firm for guests this holiday season.Maybe you're in the heart of a room renovation and the budget's a wee too close to get the ideal man of furniture. Or maybe you're just always on the outlook for a big care to add to your home's decor.
While we all wish we could scarcely walk into any store (or upload any website) and buy any part of furniture we desire, sadly that isn't the world for the bulk of us.
nd while the adventurous DIY'er may need to simply make a look-alike piece themselves, sometimes time, tools, and supplies don't give much room for the effort.So what do you do when you take a piece of furniture that looks great, is of quality, but won't stop the bank?
We thought we'd share another one of our favorite, best-kept-secret design blogs, Copy Cat Chic.The preface is simple: the author Reichel Broussard, a freelance interior designer and former marketing employee of multiple brands, scours the Net for knock-offs of popular (and generally very expensive) home furnishing brands. Then she posts the inspiration piece and her "finds" on her blog, including links to all products involved.
Reichel's eye for style is extensive and wide, so no matter if you're looking for mid-century modern pieces, American traditional, vintage French, or anything in between, you're certain to get it on Copy Cat Chic.Also, she makes mood boards for readers upon request for a modest fee, and directs individual item requests to her Facebook page, where all the readers of Copy Cat Chic can help each other see the better deals.She's not shy to place the best finds from other readers on the blog front page, either, with proper recognition of course.
So if you're in the marketplace for some furniture that looks like a billion bucks but definitely doesn't cost it, check out Reichel and Copy Cat Chic to assist you in your quest.As always, please let us love your furniture buying secrets and prized possessions in the comments below - maybe we can begin to aid each other furnish our homes as well!
