part 2 of this insane waste of my time. i kid. sort of. what? doing the lord’s work for free is my speciality.
the yellow living room in the rental of the irving sisters is a collected and layered showstopper.
finding mass quantity or even limited quantity furniture dupes from this space was a near impossible endeavor. the dupes i did find where more than one of you could purchase were probably more than the antique versions. ebay and facebook are your saviors here if you’re lucky. even the sofa is a discontinued ikea sofa covered in a very expensive fabric. so you can’t have that either. the best you can do is throw a pretty fabric over yours and call it a day. i mean, there are a ton of similar fabrics out there to be sure and for far less. and if you are looking to recover and need my help sourcing that i am for hire. but this is just for funsies ok? anyway….the closest i got for the moodboard’s sake is this serena and lily number that is headshakingly expensive. this one too. pretty but c’mon. there is a floral ikea sofa available but too scandi for this room. it’s not terrible tho.
the room is chocked full of carolina irving fabrics- starting with ciara on the little fireplace screen. which after reading i discovered it was used to cover up their ac unit in their old nyc apartment. i looked everywhere for an upholstered fireplace screen. so it’s a fair guess that this one was custom built. but 3 pieces of MDF cut similarly and attached with hinges and then padded and covered in a similar fabric would be so easy.
i especially love the mimosa vine fabric curtain with the seashell curtain clips. another thing i scoured the internet for.
the overhead box pleat pendant is alice palmer. i like this one too.
the mirror in the room is an antique (it all is) the one in the moodboard just fit the thickness (that’s what she said). but i daresay the black against the yellow walls is important here.
speaking of yellow walls….another paper and paints color but this one from clare paint is very similar.
framed butterflies and here.
a large tree of life wall hanging and a suzani wall hanging are incredibly important here. and if you want this look you should def incorporate.
more brass candle sconces. mint green candles.
4 irving and daughters bud vases. affordable too. would make a great gift.
the rug is a great find. it’s deeply discounted. and comes in a variety of stripe colors.
the furniture. ugh. here’s what i found- ottoman. again…easy to replicate with any old cocktail style ottoman recovered in a gorgeous fabric. you wouldn’t need much.
sofa.
*bobbin, spindle and turned legs in your facebook/ebay searches
and leopard is an easy find to recover a club chair.
the vase is by artist katy stubbs and her stuff is amazing. no dupes given. support artists.
the pillows are all carolina irving fabric. almaty and patmos stripe.
the chinese prints are affordable and awesome.
and for the full ambience- santa maria novella carta d’armenia incense papers.
