I’m so thrilled you guys seem to love these copy cat posts from Colleen as much as I do! Colleen has the best eye and knows when to splurge and when to save. She also is a FANTASTIC flea market partner in crime. We always find gems together. My favorite find was these midcentury chrome and brass coffee tables for Colleen’s living room. So gorgeous!!
Here’s Colleen with an amazing dining room redux:
I’m so excited to do this reader-requested Celerie Kemble dining room; I worked on the issue of Lonny in which it was featured! It was absolutely my favorite interior.
If this room were for a client, I’d trawl the flea market and Ebay for a vintage option, but I’m quite enjoying this new chandelier that nods to the original Murano. For a different but still lovely Murano-style look, try the Calais Chandelier from Z Gallerie.
Celerie used shagreen chairs of her own design in this room. Grey chairs with Mid-Century lines are still faithful to the look. Another option are these Klismos chairs from West Elm.
Complete the chairs with plush mohair in a chocolate hue.
I’ve been dreaming of this flatware for months now. It’s on my “when I’m rich and fabulous” list. Target fortunately has an interpretation in stainless.
One of the Jonathan Adler decorating tips I’ve taken to heart is to replace your hardware with lucite. It’s instant glamour!
To keep window treatments from being over the top, pair the lucite rod with linen drapes.
These ceramic artichokes would be cute on a mantel too.
The art in the room is by Alex Timchula, but framing wallpaper is a great option. You could also get botanical prints from Etsy.
Most lightly-stained farmhouse tables would do the trick here. Top with simple glass plates.
This pale peachy-pink evokes just enough glamour.
Spray paint the hardware a brass shade and you’d be good to go! For something a little more Regency, try this buffet from Home Decorator’s.
Awesome! Just learned of some great new resources. I also like that you included additional resources for certain items.Thx
Very interesting article … Thanks for sharing this with all that we value these small details ..
regards…
Maters of Style blog just did a post yesterday about a complete vintage set (12) of that flatware they have for sale. You should pop over and check it out!
I love articles in magazines that show you how to get a certain look for less and I love that you've done this with houses!
The wallpaper source, Secondhand Rose is great – Love the Copy Cat features- Super job, Colleen!
I am really enjoying this series and she is always spot-on with her picks!
Love this one! I am so enjoying this series! :-) Thanks for sharing.
Love that look, thanks for showing us how to recreate it!
fantastic!!! i love what you found! I especially love your idea of framing the floral wallpaper, because as I was searching for LARGE artwork similar to shown, I realized how incredibly pricey it is. I also love the peach shade of paint you chose. Thank you for copycatting this dining room!!!
Awesome, informative post! I esp love the tip about using lucite curtain rods to add a small touch of glam. Much more budget friendly than splurging on a lucite coffee table or side chairs!
I love the chandelier and artichokes! Great choices!
I saw a lot of very similar artichoke pieces at HomeGoods this week, for a lot less! Hmm, maybe I need to go back!
Love your blog! Lots of beautiful ideas for the dining room! Hope you get a chance to stop by my blog sometime! ♥ http://organicglam.blogspot.com/ ♥
Have a great weekend!
Julie, thanks for the tip about that flatware! Someone already snapped it up, but vintage seems to be the way to go for those!
I really love what you did with the curtain rods and the paint color. In fact, I chose a similar color for our foyer/hallway paint… BM HC60 – Queen Anne Pink. I love it! It adds a little *light* where I have none. :)

Just saw this great panel art and thought of your copy cat dining room, Jenny. It's a peacock and I think it's priced right! :)
