High Low Decor - Restoration Hardware/Home Decorators

I've always loved Louis XVI chairs so when Restoration Hardware launched their latest line, I had to visit the store and take a look.  I fell in love with the 19th century stately Empire chair that is hand-carved from solid oak with rope twists, acanthus leaves, fluting and flowers hightlighted by a soft weathered finish. 

I soon fell out of love when I saw the price tag. They are currently on sale $1145 - $1465 depending on your choice of a wide selection of fabrics and leather.

Once again, Home Decorators to the rescue!  I found this lovely Marie Arm Chair that is similar in both design and size to its more expensive Restoration Hardware Louis XVI counterpart.

The Marie Arm Chair features an antique-inspired design with padded seat, back and arms is sure to enhance most any room in your home.  It does however offer a more limited choice of upholstery options.  A bleached-oak finish completes the antique look at an extremely attractive sale price of $319.

Truly, high end design on a low end budget.

Let me know what you think....

  3. Home Decorating is a very personal decision, different with every individual. Your home decor reflects your personal style and individual quirks. If you're having problems making a decision about your home decorating theme, consider a Tuscany theme for your home. Tuscany style combines subtle elegance and simplicity, using a palette of earthy warm tones. Tuscany decorating comes from the Tuscany Valley in Italy and is meant to bring the outdoors in.
