“What am I doin’? What am I doin’?/Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me/I’m doin me/I’m livin’ life right now, mayne/And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over/‘Til it’s over/But it’s far from over” ~ Over (I’m Doing me) by Drake
Good Morning Design Minds! Today, I’m unveiling a new feature on A Design State of Mind called Chic & Thrifty. I believe that good design should not break your wallets. And everyone, regardless of their financial situation, should be able to decorate their home without going for broke. Therefore, I will show Design Minds where to find a stylish but cheaper version of their favorite high-end home decor accessories. Chic & Thrifty is like “The Look for Less” version of interior design. Enjoy.
I took a stroll in the Georgian Terrance Hotel in Atlanta and had a love affair with the lobby decor. The swanky suede couch and stainless steel side tables caught my attention. I pictured myself relaxing in the lobby while waiting to have sushi at a trendy restaurant and lounge in Buckhead.
The Pumpkin Side Table can be found at Hive Modern furniture store based in Portland for about $2,000.
