High/Low Style: Coral Crush

(other than the coral-colored lanterns, this photo is completely unrelated to the rest of the post...please just go with it : )

Welcome back from the weekend, kids! Did everyone enjoy a couple of days of rest and relaxation? I know you've been waiting with baited breath to see what I did this weekend, so I'll provide a brief recap:

Friday night was SUCH a fun, fun night, ya'll! We ventured on over to Fayetteville and revisited some of our favorite little haunts, complete with 4 inch stillettos and poofy hair. Now a couple weeks ago, Dickson Street was D.O.A. I mean, the weather has been totally uncooperative this year, so folks haven't been going out much (snow in March, anyone?)

But Friday, it was like someone gave Dickson Street a sizable shot of espresso...so many people out and about and it was all alive and stuff again. Yay for summer almost being here!

Ok, now for the post-toast-toast....

I stumbled across this beautifully styled dressing room from Style At Home and just had to read more about it. Coral is, after all, such a hot color for spring/summer. Well, apparently there are two versions of this room...the way expensive version that only we multi-billion dollar earning bloggers can afford, (ahem, yeah totally me)...and the other, equally fabulous and less expensive version for "normal" people.

This is the expensive one.


This is the less-expensive one.


Which one looks better? You decide.

  2. Ahh I love those dressing rooms!! I very slightly prefer the more expensive room, because I am not the biggest fan of yellow (clothing, home decor, etc). But honestly they both are gorgeous and you would never know they have very different price points!

  5. Oh I love both pictures, of course the less version looks closer to me! I saw them on Style at home and couldn't believe the cuteness I'm seeing! These colors are so great!

  7. they both look so similar, they did a good job in copying the expensive one, but i think i like the least expensive one, cause i like the chair color and print more, much more brighter with the yellow.

    thanks for sharing hun.

  12. They're both such fabulous rooms, but I like the scale ratio of everything in the more expensive room more. (Go figure!)
