A Space Worth Recreating

Hey friends! So, ever since this Persian rug fetish post, I've had this image stuck in my mind. I'm crazy about the bluey-green floral of the chair and the leaning artwork and the Persian rug. All together. All at once.






source unknown...anyone?

I'm no designer, as we're all aware. I'm simply a girl who loves a great interior. But just for fun (and because I'm just that interested in recreating this space), I wanted to see what similar items I could find.

 

eBay has a great selection of Persian rugs lately; this one is close to the inspiration photo:

One of these chairs. Of course, the shape's not exactly the same, but the effect would be awesome if they were reupholstered...

KSL Classifieds (Utah's version of Craigslist)

...in one of these:

Lewis & Sheron

  

Richloom  



 

Premier Prints

 

(This one's outdoor fabric, ergo, kid-friendly. Sweet.)

Calico Corners

 



Add in a small but beautiful wood secretary (this one's on sale for under $300). I love the drawers on top:

Brookstone

 (Maybe if I were feeling particularly adventurous, I would attempt to build my own. Except...nah. So many little cubbies!)

...and a brass desk lamp (this one captures the look for only about $60):

Throw in some great modern art, or channel your inner artiste and create something:

...in clean-lined poster frames like these from Target:




or the Fjallsta from Ikea (in the lighter birch finish):


A few accessories will complete the scene, like these or other vintage or heirloom treasures:

I think it could be pulled off! Maybe.

Do any of you have a dream piece or space you'd like to recreate? I'd love to see it! Email it to me at brittneynsmart [at] yahoo [dot] com. (If you want to up the ante a little bit, give me a budget you're trying to stick to. Just because...budgets are real-life, and I'm a real-life kinda girl.)
