Pottery Barn Inspired Cubbies


 I have finally finished it (almost)!!
Finished what?? you ask??

I found this beauty in a garage at an estate sale, piled with treasures and some critter droppings..ewww
No tag (apparently some people don't do critter droppings)
I asked the man in charge if it was for sale and he told me to make him an offer.
 Ugghhh...I don't like doing that in fear of insulting anyone..
but before I could answer he said $20..I told him $15 and it was a deal (so much for insulting)
He agreed and we loaded it up!!
$15 dollars ya'll!!!!


I had big plans for this purdy thing...

It has taken several months but I have almost finished it! 
I say almost because I am waiting on the label holders to get here and then it will be DONE!
I couldn't wait so I thought I would go ahead and show you...eek!



My inspiration..PB Catalog

My finished cubbies...

























I will admit I find myself staring at them often..
I should get the label holders next week and I will show you some afters with the finished look.
What do you think? Is it a good copycat?


Thanks for checking it out!
Your such a patient audience..haha
Have a warm Friday my friends!

UPDATE!!!
New with the labels attached...Does it look more like the Pottery Barn Cubbies?

    You are a thrifter after my own heart!
    A wonderful job and good for you - let the seller make the first the first price, then as long as no one is around, hem and haw a few seconds before jumping at it. They may drop the price even further. Also you don't want to make them feel bad about offering it up too cheap. You created a win-win sale.

    So pretty! Just the kind of warm and inviting look that I love, too! By the way, how often do you dust everything on it? I'm not a great fan of housework (I do it, just don't like it).

    Oh my goodness, what a steal! I hate it when people say "make me an offer" too... because I want to say .25 cents no matter what it is!! LOL! Sometimes I do!... I'll teach THEM to tell ME to make an offer! :) Anyway, the cubbies look so good!

    I LOVE it!! That is an awesome find! You could make it look even more like the pottery barn one by buying those label holder things (they have them in the scrap booking section at Hobby Lobby, $2.99 for 6) I love the way you styled them. I would stare at them all the time as well! You house is decorated beautifly!
