Retro-luxe Design on a Dime (or not)...

Fine readers, in this post we'll examine a well designed room and see if we can recreate this look on by shopping locally at vintage stores and perusing Craigslist.



For inspiration, we've selected this room for it's vibrant orange and nod to Chinoiserie, a Retro-luxe favorite.

First, imagine these in an energetic, acid orange:





Found here on Craigslist, and quite a bargain at $170.00!

Why not add these chairs for more of a maximalist effect? They'd make Kelly Wearstler and Jonathan Adler proud!





Groovy, plush, velvety goodness found here for $200!

Go with a cream color on these end tables so as not to compete too much with the orange:

Found here on Craigslist for $50.00.

Craigslist/Thrift Store gods are not smiling on us in the lamp department. So I checked Overstock.com and found this one for $139.00. It fits the vibe in the photo.



Or, you could go totally maximalist and get over to Room Service right now to score this over-the-top fixture. It would make the room come alive!
