POTTERY BARN DIY!

Hi Hi Hi!!!! I'm excited to show you my Pottery Barn DIY!!! I LOOOOOVVVEEEE Pottery Barn!!!!!!!!!! That is one catalog that stays in my magazine rack year round, NOT that I order anything....shhhhhh....I just COPY everything I like! Anyway, I just received their Thanksgiving catalog! I KNOW! I didn't know they had one either! Well, let me tell you I was droooooling, then I just decided I was going to work to make my own stuff!


So here is PB's display piece for Fall. Look at the vase with the pics to the left!


I LOVED it! But I didn't have walnuts, so I used the long skinny pinecones in my yard, and dried leaves from the Maple trees along my driveway!!! THEN............ I went online to PB and saw ANOTHER vase that they had put leaves in!

HA! I HAD the idea first Mister!

Here is mine!


I love the idea of putting black and white photos along side the vase.

My vase was a purchase from IKEA (my other favorite store) that I got when I went to Seattle. Twigs for nest in the bottom, leaves, and pinecones from my yard! Candle was a clearance at Walmart I had, pictures I had!!!

The only words from hubby, "well, it's a good thing you don't have anything flammable in there!" ;)

So my PB DIY here was FREE...well, cuz it was stuff I had around my house...er....yard!

NOW for my next reveal! I don't have the PB picture of their Thanksgiving Bunting...couldn't find it...BUT here is a pic of my bunting I made last night!





Fabric was quilt fat quarters I've had forever. I had this wild hair to make a mosaic messenger bag awhile back....jah...I know! Annnnyyywaayyy...the seam binding which is green was .50 at walmart on clearance and was the perfect length of ribbon for my bunting. I cut coordinating letters I had drawn on paper to use for a pattern and put on oppisite colors! It says THANKS! I wish I had put THANKFUL! But I was too lazy to go back and undo...maybe next year:)

So did I pass the PB DIY test???? tee hee... it was fun anyway...hope I gotcha in the mood for crafting your own FAll decor!
