Blue and White Room Perfection: Sourcing an Iconic Room for Less

When I first saw this room I about died and went to heaven. Isn't it gorgeous? I think it's a masterpiece in restraint. It would be so easy to choose pillows with pattern, a fancier hanging light, etc.  But here, the designer showed admirable restraint and there is just enough detail to make it a perfect example of quiet elegance. I love this room.

If you can pay $3500 plus tax and delivery for the sofa and $4500 for the rug, then run don't walk to Williams Sonoma and copy this room. I absolutely adore Williams Sonoma and their designers, but sadly, can't usually afford it. So of course I had to try to source this room for less.... a lot less.

Here is my less expensive version:

The cocktail table and rug are a bit of a splurge, but not as much as the originals, by a longshot. The coffee table in particular is hard to find. There are a lot with silver legs, but only a few with gold in normal price ranges. And I picked the rug because it is one of my favorites ever. The furniture is from PB, CB, etc - my staples for good quality and relatively affordable basics. Here are my picks, and then some options:

Sofa 

Blue Chair

Wicker Chair 

Ikat Rug

End table (must see!)
