So, as I was browsing through the pages of the new Pottery Barn catalogue, I spied with my little eye, this...
Pure, sweet, simple loveliness!!
However, it is quite large and well...pricey.
Soooo...off to Hobby Lobby I went! Strolling through the home accent clearance section with my 9 year old son, I knew I had a very limited amount of time. Who knew within 2 minutes I would spy this little baby...
Perfect size for over my cook top! The wooden letters were also a Hobby Lobby buy on the same trip. Needless to say, someone knew my sweet little guy was only going to last so long, because it was literally a 10 minute trip. Sweet!
Bonus...take a look at the price tag...
At first I was going to remove the tray handles, but decided to leave them, they made it a little different and able to actually be used as a tray.
The first step was to simply glue the wooden letters on the tray { I used liquid nails }...
Next I took the handles off and spray painted the whole tray and letters with my fave...heirloom white! Love that it is a pure creamy white! I waited for it to dry, put the handles back on and ....
Yes...I promise I took that picture in January! { Here in the South, we can still have our pretty green ferns in January!}
I added a simple jute ribbon bow {an ETSY find! } and that's it!
I am a very neutral person by nature, but tend to LOVE a pop of color, so the tone on tone is a bit of a stretch for me! Something in me just wants to paint it red! {maybe that's just my crafting ADD talking! }
So sweet, simple, and easy!
Bonnie
So cute!! Don't you just LOVE Hobby Lobby?! This is a fantastic knock-off!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks just like the PB one...minus the price tag! I just love Heirloom White paint, a perfect color. You did a great job.

I absolutely love it.... I may need to have a try at something similar.

Nice job. I've been tossing my Pottery Barn catalogs ... don't want to be tempted ... but now I'll look at them with an eye to steal ... or I mean tastefully reproduce. We don't have a Hobby Lobby here ... sounds like a lot of you go there. What brand of paint do you find the "heirloom white" or does it come in various brands? I'm kind of a Home Depot or Lowes kind of person. I love tone on tone....or maybe just one color and neutrals. Also...when you say jute ribbon ... is that the same as burlap? Anyway... going to check out your archives. becky@reinventingtheordinary.com
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty!! I love how it turned out!! Fabulous job:)
ReplyDeleteI currently have a link party that I would love you to share this at.
