Decorating with Vintage Decor Retailer, Chairish.com

Vintage Bar Stools Steal the Show 

As a busy E-designer, I rely heavily on my favorite online retailers to curate a catalogue of wonderful and unique furnishing options to include in the virtual design boards that I send to my clients. One of my preferred vendors, Chairish.com, is a great resource for buying (and selling!) really cool vintage furniture.

A unique and treasured piece will often make or break your design so for today's post, I want to share a recent mood board that I put together for a young bachelorette in Manhattan. She wanted a space that she could use as a bar to enjoy with friends and family without disrupting the flow of the living room or compromising too much space.

One of my favorite decorating tips that I often use when working on a small space, like a NYC apartment, is to place a long console table behind a sofa or under the TV, along with a couple of barstools.

This allows you to do a few things; first the console table becomes multi-functional, meaning it can be used for storage or as a bar/buffet when entertaining or enjoying a "night-in" at home without taking up too much space or requiring more furniture pieces. Second, choosing the bar stools really lets you get creative! This is a great opportunity to incorporate a pop of color, a fun pattern or texture, something that really caters to your personal style.

I love the "Contemporary Reclaimed Wood Bar Stools" from Chairish (you can shop their full barstools collection here) because when you're not using them as a seat, you can tuck them away under your dining table (or kitchen island if you have one) or even use as them as a side table! Most importantly I love the natural and organic touch that these wood grain and saddle seat stools incorporate into the otherwise contemporary living room. There is a lot of white and crisp furniture throughout the room however the stools help create a very fresh vibe in the space by pulling from the earth tones of the coffee table, pouf and faux potted plant. These comfortable barstools are sure to bring a modern and updated look to any home.

Shop The "Design Board" Look:

Contemporary Reclaimed Wood Bar Stools (Set of 2), $270, from Chairish.com

Peekaboo Acrylic Console Table, $379, from CB2.com

Faux Potted Fiddle Leaf Tree, $299, from Pottery Barn

How To Decorate Your Bathroom on a Budget

An Affordable Bathroom Makeover with Nate Berkus

One of the most challenging, and admittedly fun, parts of my job as an interior decorator is selecting items that are beautiful yet wallet friendly. When I created Beyond Interiors Co., my mission was to prove that interior design can be an affordable right, not an unattainable luxury! One of the ways we cut back on expenses at Beyond Interiors Co. is working on all Design packages virtually. This allows me time to shop, stalk and scour the internet for the best deals out there! 

Today I am sharing with you an example mood board image, that comes as part of a typical Design package, for a client who came to me online asking for a bathroom makeover that would cost her less than $200! For this, I knew exactly where to go to find the perfect look. Target and Nate Berkus have teamed up to take over the home decor and decorating world! I am absolutely in love with everything from the Nate Berkus for Target collection because of its creative beauty, cutting edge and chic products and most importantly, the affordable prices! 

When I was designing this bathroom makeover, I selected items that won't take too much work fro my client, meaning you don't need a contractor to help you make the updates. This includes pieces like a new shower liner (not all of us are blessed with glass shower enclosures), fresh towels and accessories for the vanity top. The below bathroom design came to a total of, drumroll please......just $147.00! Not only did we help give our client an updated and stylish bathroom makeover but we did it under budget. That's every decorator's dream! 

Visit us online to purchase your own custom E-Design package for just $210/room OR if you shop with us on Etsy, you save money on all packages as they start at $199/room!
