Restoration Hardware look for less??

12 years ago

I am furnishing, decorating and in some rooms remodeling my new home and am madly in love with this restoration hardware table as well as their beautiful oversized natural linen couch and glamorous but a bit rustic chandeliers. With all the money that goes into furnishing a new home from scratch I am wondering if I could get these reclaimed light barn wood type pieces that look stylish elsewhere for less money, any ideas??

Are you familiar with the website Copycat Chic? She posts many higher end products and then the less expensive option. Many RH options on there! Also, check around on Craigslist, Ebay local, etc as I've found that if people are redecorating or moving, you can find some great steals!! Overstock is another option to find chair sets and tables, just be mindful of buyer reviews. I once purchased some shelving that the picture was completely different from what was delivered (of course you can return when this happens.) I did see another post here where a woman purchased a similar style table from World Market.
Another great idea is look around your area for local furniture makers. You might be surprised to find that you can get similar style custom pieces, but better quality, by going custom.
Also, if you have a Habitat ReStore location near you, look there for lighting. A co-worker just found a $900 Kichler chandelier for $250!!

One last idea for your home -- we are local to Arhaus in Cleveland, and they donated a ton of new furniture from their showrooms to the local furniture bank. You'd be surprised where you can find furniture! Check around to see if you have any furniture banks in your area! You never know what you might find!!

Not a problem, happy to help! I about fell over myself typing a response to a woman on Craigslist who was selling 6 Arhaus Jordan side chairs for $500... they are now in my dining room! You never know what good deals you'll find. Also, don't be afraid to visit Goodwill, Salvation Army, resale shops, consignments, etc, for accessories! There is nothing that a can of spray paint cant change! Picture frames can be expensive, so these stores are great places to find them--painted white, silver, gold or black, they all coordinate even if they are a different style!

There is a place called Home Emporium. I know that there are more than one around, but the one that I go to is near Cincinnati. They have MANY replicas of the Furniture from Restoration Hardware. I heard the person who originally designed for Restoration Hardware now designs for them, but who knows if this is true. Literally identical products, but 1/2 the price. I love the Home Emporium. If you google it there may be one near you!
