Who'd like a fun "look for less" on this Wednesday morning?
The bargain I've found is a nod to spring and the sunshine to come!

I'm going share with you a few budget-conscious options for recreating the look of the Re-Trouve chairs and ottomans designed by Patricia Urquiola for Emu; but before I do, drink in the deliciousness of the original:
(via Steelcase)
(via Design Icons)
(via Liever)
They invoke life on the French Rivera in the '60's or something (because, yeah, I have lots of experience with that)...I can imagine Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney recalling better times while sitting at this table in "Two For the Road".
If you don't have the $1,000+ it takes to purchase one of these spectacular designs, let me offer you a few options. For one, Anthropologie offered their own version of the Re-Trouve chairs (for $248), which appears to be out of stock:
(via Elle Decor)
Don't get discouraged, though.
Here are some still-available pieces that offer a similiar look to the Re-Trouve chairs and ottomans at a wallet friendly price:

With a little imagination, a can of spray paint, and a lot less cash, you could have the Re-Trouve style in your garden this spring.
Now, if only I had a garden...
Ohh great finds! Definitely keeping these in mind for my deck
ReplyDeleteYou are the resourceful one aren't you? Great finds & I love the look.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect for my sister's loft. She has a definite french-bohemian-lazy-afternoon chic going on in her space.
ReplyDeletePB teen has some surprisingly chic options. I need to check there more frequently!
ReplyDeleteI am really liking those chairs. Unfortunately I have no place for them. I thought my sons room but I think they are more on the feminine side.
ReplyDeleteKim, I was going to say the same thing - PB teen often has some really cute, fun things! And often more reasonable than the parent store.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...I'll be on the look out on CL for those from now on. I really like them in fun colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and a fun outdoor look. (Or indoor, for that matter.)
