Pottery Barn Style on a Salvage Yard Budget

by Lindsay on August 26, 2009

in Easy Home Decor Projects

A while back, I said I would be showing you more ways to bring the Pottery Barn style to your home without having to fork over the Pottery Barn price.

Wanna know how to achieve Pottery Barn style on a salvage yard budget?

Of course you do! So, head on over and check out my guest post at one of my favorite decorating blogs, A Soft Place to Land. I was so honored to have Kimba ask me to write for her, that I just had to share something really good with her readers. Or at least *I* think it’s really good.

At the very least, maybe you can figure out why I look like Red Fraggle in that picture.

Great tutorial! Your mirror looks just as good, if not better!

I checked this out at Kimba's site. SUCH a good idea! I found a mirror made of old soda cans in Guild magazine for more than $1000 that I am now making. I have no idea where it will go either but I am SO excited! I am going to follow your blog you have some great ideas! And I like yours better too! :)

I'm heading over there now, but had to comment on the picture! Very funny…I've taken similar photos countless times and it never occured to me to post one, instead would try all kinds of crazy angles to get the photo without me in it!
I'm saving time in the future…

No, you're right: it IS really good! How exciting for you to get to do a guest post for Kimba. I'm proud of you!

And as a fellow redhead, I've gotta say that I laughed out loud at your "red fraggle" reference. So funny.

You are doing a wonderful job with this blog, Lindsay. I'm so happy to see your success. You go, girl!!
