It looks like something from the Memphis design movement.

White furniture (especially bookcases), lots and lots of lighting. FYI dark colors can make a room look bigger sometimes. It's a myth that white makes a room look bigger.

I love PB for their modern country styling however I should warn you that PB quality is not that good. Mostly all of their stuff is manufactured in China or are toned down rip offs of Henredon of Horchow pieces. If you're going to save up and drop that much money I would buy something made in the US. Here are some brands:

If you aren't that concerned with where it came from or the quality, I would try hacking something from ikea:

Or sacrificing the arm detail:

Or just finding something sort of similar with different accents:

Tacky as it was, I had no idea that using the term disgusting was so foul and offensive, it should be listed as a curse word.

I love how you people are stalking my profile. Obviously I hit a nerve. My intention was not to insult anyone here. With all due respect, I won't close the door on something that i think is ethically wrong.

Donald,

Why are you insulting me?

"No matter how you rephrase it," it's theft. Oh and FYI, that tutorial you keep going on about was on how to make a rug out of a tarp. It had nothing to do with ripping off designer work. I hardly call a 2D image of chevron print intellectual property and I really don't think you understand how the industry works and why its unethical.

OMG, It's sooo not the same thing! You're comparing the of support manufacturers who blatantly knock-off designer work and to hand-make something inspired by something you love and cant afford. If she want to try and hand make that day bed, more power to her. My issue here is with the support of companies who make a fast buck off other designers intellectual property.

Replace the red Ikea storage unit with a real night stand and yes, move the bed to center. New bedding or at least do some crisp pillows with symmetry.

As a designer who values other designers work, I find it disgusting that you would post on a design forum that you are looking for a "reproduction"; Which is essentially a nice word for plagiarism, knock-off, and a spit in the face to Eileen Gray.

People have some nerve!

If they don't like your smoke they can close their door. I would never let my neighbors dictate what I do in my own home. You should be free to enjoy the occasional ciggy on the balcony. If I were you I would outright ask them kindly and stand by my rights. I'm not even a smoker.
