Only the real thing? Or reproductions okay? Where do you stand

It's a hotly contested subject in most industries, especially fashion and design.  Is it okay to buy reproductions or "inspired by" pieces?  Or is it a no-no?

There are so many fabulous furniture designers that I love, Jacobsen, Saarinen, Knoll, and Gray.  The problem. Budget.  I'm don't yet have the savings that allow me to invest in an authentic piece.  Does this mean that my home should go without a piece that I love?

It is undeniable that designer furnishings, like a classic Chesterfield can make a HUGE impact on your space, even if it's just one piece.

I actually have one of these rocking chairs in white....

but I bought it a long time ago before I knew that it was an imitation of one of the most famous lounge chairs!  I still have it and still like it, but I know a lot of designers would cringe.

So, what are your thoughts?  

If you love a design that isn't accessible to with your budget, are you fine with having a reproduction?  

Do you buy authentic only or go without?

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I think that until I decide I will try to find beautiful, well designed pieces in consignment and antique shops.

I'm a happy girl today because my boyfriend finally returned from his seemingly never-ending vacation to Chile. However, since it is rainy today, and, well, it's Monday - why not some gratuitous prettiness? Enjoy!

A plethora of designer and antique eye candy

Cause a girl can dream, and because it's finally Friday. All of these are from Fyndes, which "...is a showcase for art, photography, antiques and contemporary designs. Our aim is to provide a central, global marketplace where independent artists, dealers and designers can achieve exposure. We provide a setting in which they can display their collections, as inspiration for home decorators and interior designers."


Svend Madsen desk! I love it!


I am smitten with this chaise. It's linen and burlap, which is modest and down-to-earth, but it's bones are beautiful and elegant.




I love globes as decor!

Alicia Bock's nostalgic photography is actually really affordable at $35.00. More of her stunning work on her website.
