The Nancy Meyers Living Room on a Budget: This Week's Facebook Marketplace Finds
Share
If you’re not already sipping tea in an oversized sweater, contemplating your love life against the backdrop of a stunning living room, are you even Nancy Meyers-ing? One of our followers on Instagram challenged us to create their dream living room with a budget of $3000. Their style? Nancy Meyers chic. Their location? New York (of course). Let’s see if we delivered.
1. Crate & Barrel Lounge Pull-Out Sofa
Originally $3500, listed for $500
Pickup: Chelsea
Nancy Meyers’ movies are built on cozy, oversized seating that screams, “Come cry on me while wearing cashmere.” Enter the Crate & Barrel Lounge sofa in cream. It’s also a pull-out bed because this is NYC, and dual-purpose furniture is a requirement.
2. West Elm Anton Coffee Table
Originally $600, listed for $230
Pickup: Manhattan
A solid walnut coffee table that’s modern yet warm. Pair it with a perfectly styled stack of books and some organic-shaped pottery, and you’re ready for your close-up.
3. 8x10 Jute Rug
Originally $600, listed for $200
Location: Inwood
No living room is complete without a neutral base. This jute rug adds texture without competing for attention, leaving the drama to you (and maybe your ex).
4. Jonathan Y Chinoiserie Table Lamps (Pair)
Originally $216 each, listed for $160 for the pair
Location: Fairfield, CT
For the obligatory pop of blue and white, these chinoiserie table lamps bring a coastal grandmother vibe.
5. Crate & Barrel Swivel Lounger Chair
Originally $1600, sold for $879
Source: Furnish NYC
Every Nancy Meyers living room needs a deep, comfortable lounge chair where the main character will be captured perched with a book. This Crate & Barrel glider delivers on both charm and comfort.
6. Vintage Dresser & Hutch
Listed for $75
Location: Upper East Side
A vintage dresser for under $100? It’s giving character. It’s giving ‘family heirloom’ without the actual family drama.
7. Striped Blue & White Roman Shades
Originally $600, listed for $300
Location: Fairfield, CT
Add a tailored, coastal touch with these striped Roman shades. Because yes, your windows deserve to be dressed better than most New Yorkers at brunch.
The Total: $2344
That leaves you $656 to splurge on candles, throw blankets, or perhaps a small pastry that costs more than it should. Living your best Nancy Meyers life in NYC has never been this affordable.
