PB on a Dime Part 1

Let's face it Pottery Barn is awesome, but who can really afford it? I may have a couple things from there, but I really couldn't decorate a whole room. Especially on our budget. LOL. Wanted to share some things I have been working on for my bedroom and bathroom. I call this post my DYI part 1. The next part I post will be the completed rooms. I LOVE pottery barn lanterns, especially when they fill them with things besides a candle. Here's some lanterns I got at IKEA. The large one is for my dresser and the two small ones will hang above our Garden Tub in the Bathroom.

  • Lanterns & Candles: IKEA
  • Twings, Leaves, Moss, Nest, Eggs, & Bird: Micheal's & Hobby Lobby
  • Postcards (back of the big lantern): Graphics Fairy Blog
  • Rolled up paper: Thrift Store Books
  • Keys: Hobby Lobby

I wanted a relaxing nature theme for our bedroom. Something that had some masculine and famine aspects to it. I always love to browse the PB catalog just to get some ideas. Here's a couple things that I threw together that looked similar to what I loved with HALF the price tag.

  • Jar & Keys: Hobby Lobby
  • Old Wooden Tray: Marshals $11
  • Galvanized Metal Canister: Pottery Barn
  • Hydrangea's: Micheal's

One last thing I was loving for our room was these from the PB catalog. How neat to use a candle holder to display photos as well.
Here's a start for that project. I need some more berries to match the lanterns and I'm also thinking about making the photos smaller. WORK IN PROGRESS. But simple project. Hope you got inspired with some of your own decor. Have a great weekend everyone.
