Michelle Adam's Look for Less

We all have seen the images floating around - pin after pin of the gorgeousness that is Michelle Adam's (Editor for Lonny Magazine) bedroom.  I wanted to try to recreate some of the magic for the price of one her glorious Schumacher bed curtain panels.





So a little gets lost in translation, but for the most part, it carries over.  This wallpaper gives a similar look and feel at an iota of the price.


This room weighs in around $1400 (depending on how much wallpaper is needed)!

Initially, I wanted to cover some simple white Parson's X-benches (Ballard has the best price in town at $189) in Jamil velvet from Calico Corners (a steal at $40/yard) but any time you buy fabric by the yard and recover something, you can get stuck down a steep rabbit hole with workroom/upholstery costs and extra yardage.  A great option for the DIY upholsterer, though!  Another easy DIY would be to paint abstract polka dot art for above the bed for the minimal cost of a canvas.


If you have a room that you'd like to send in, we always love a good challenge.  Let me know what room you'd like to recreate on the cheap and we'll try our best to feature it on our next Look for Less segment!

  5. Pretty paper! I think I'd pull in a little of the soft blue that's barely there in the fabric, just for fun!
