Lovely for Less: Home Decorators

 See ...  In some cases, I think I even like the Home Decorators version better.  It's a great lesson in decorating and something I think we all do in fashion as well.  We see an $800 dollar lamp or a $2000 dress that we love in a magazine. No, of course we're not going to buy it ... but we can be inspired by it to look for something with similar lines, colors, patterns, etc. that is a little more friendly to the pocketbook. 

What are some of your favorite "Lovely for Less" pieces?
