Get the Look

This design has been near and dear to my heart since the moment I set eyes on it.  It's simple but wonderful.  Well styled with the single flower, framed photo, and books.  The pillow offsets the transparent ghost chair just perfectly.  Recreating this look for my own house will have to wait, but here's just a few ideas on how I/we can get a similar look. 


Pinterest 



  1. Modern Glass Desk - BluePrint - $499.  Not the exact floating glass look but certainly a similar feel.  If you're after something more exact, it would be fairly simple to recreate by purchasing a 24" deep glass top table from a local retailer.  Pairing the glass top with a desktop hardware solution such as this Silver Arc from Mockett could work as well.  Just insure that your weight and depth fall within your hardware limits.  
  2. B&W Poster - All Posters - $29.99.  Artwork is very personal, so you should always chose art that either means something to you or speaks to you.  To get the look for even less, recreate your own art using B&W photography.  The poster found here was $29.99 unframed but upwards of $300 if you purchase it framed.  Finding a simple black from for a local hobby shop can save you that additional $300.  
  3. Brushed Steel Globe Lamp - Lamps Plus - $39.95.  While it doesn't have a black shade, it is certainly the right style and you can't argue with that price!  Finding a black shade is as simple as a few thrifting trips, finding one online, or recovering this one.   
  4. Ghost Chair - Amazon.com - $125.00.  If you're after the exact smokey grey look, take a look at this one from Lumens.com for $330.00.
