Copy Cat Design for Less

 

Like many of you, I just love a good deal.  I spend a lot of time pouring over design magazines seeking inspiration and trying to figure out how I can get "the look" for less.  I few years ago I visited Jonathan Adler's LA store and became obsessed with his drum shade chandelier.



                                                    Jonathan Adler Meurice Pendant $375


When I was searching for something similar I came across a very good likeness at Overstock.
                                       Overstock Beige Fabric Chrome Chandelier $80.99


I am happy to report and that I bought the Overstock Chandelier and am feeling quite smug about the savings.  This is just one example, but are lots of design items just like this.  Some places that I like to go to find great designer knockoffs is Zgallerie and Cost Plus.  I also follow a blog called Copy Cat Chic which is devoted solely to finding great copy cat items.  Reichel Broussard writes the blog and she, along with readers submit their great finds.  If you like decorating on a budget, you will want to check this one out!
