Edmonton Interior Decorator | The Look for Less | Fashion Police Set

This look inspired by: Fashion Police set by Jonathan Adler

If you're familiar with the phrase, "Bitch Stole My Look" then you are a devoted Joan Ranger! I regularly tune into E! online to watch Fashion Police on Friday nights. My favourite segment is their "Bitch Stole My Look" installments. (They candidly compare celebrities in look alike outfits to determine who wore it best.)

I decided to do my own take on "Bitch Stole My Look" and create a look-for-less of this Jonathan Adler designed set. From the Mongolian lam fur stools, to the Meurice chandeliers, I knew this room was going to have a haute couture price. By my estimates, this set look would cost a minimum of $24,000 (including accessories and lighting)!

The Fashion Police set for $24,000




The Look for Less by www.BuySellDecorate.com for $3500!!

So, do you think Joan Rivers would approve? Or would she say, "Bitch stole my look"? 

Want to know how to get this look for less? Drop me a line!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Get the Look for Less | All Hale the Navy

You see an amazing photo in a decorating magazine and you ask yourself, "How can I get that look? And how can I get it for less?"

Here's the inspiration: a masculine, eclectic inspired living room. I'd estimate the original cost at $9695. That's quite a big chunk of change if you're redecorating an entire house.

The inspiration



Here's how I got the look for MUCH less!
While the items I selected are not identical replicas, overall it would still create the same masculine, eclectic look. My shopping around allowed me to create the look for nearly $6000 LESS!

Mirror - $358   Artwork - $30/ea   Lamps - $99/ea   End Tables - $215/ea   Sofa - $1999   Ottomans - $199/ea   Area Rug - $170   Cushions - $30/ea

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Get The Look | Life is But a Dream

You see an amazing photo in a decorating magazine and you ask yourself, "How can I get that look? And how can I get it for less?"


Here's the inspiration: a chic, Hollywood Regency inspired gray and white master bedroom. I'd estimate the cost at $4500. Which, is not BAD for a master bedroom, but who wouldn't want to get the look for less??


However, here's how I got the look for less than 1/2 price!
