Leanne Ford for Crate and Barrel, Styled two ways
If you were a long-time reader of my blog, you may remember a series back in the day called “two ways,” in which I chose an item and created two very different looks around it. Well now that there are two designers around here, I thought it would be fun to revive the series, only Lauren and I would each create a look.
At the same time, we both fell hard for the new collection at Crate and Barrel by the designer and HGTV star Leanne Ford. The collection reflects her specific aesthetic with lots of casual pieces, sculptural shapes, light wood, and white. All together the collection looks like “her,” but there are tons of great pieces to mix in to your own aesthetic.
We didn’t set any rules for ourselves except that we decided to both do a living room and to use at least 2 pieces from the collection. I love how these pieces can lean sexy and modern (Lauren’s look) or freshen up a more traditional space (my look.)
Lauren used the bar cabinet, Williams chair, and primitive vases from the collection.
I used the white couch, black leaner mirror, and light wood coffee table.
We both mixed in additional pieces at all price points, including some major splurges. It’s all about the mix!
