Pottery Barn Jackpot

I love surfing blogs for great ideas! Thank you to Shanty2Chic for posting the blog that I hope pushes me into making some furniture.  If you love Pottery Barn Furniture you MUST check out http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/.  Ana, the editor at knockoffwood, is a carpenter who makes knock off furniture on the cheap...and she is generous enough to share her detailed plans with the blogging world! Not only does she offer the plans for FREE, she gives you the exact cutting deminsions, a supply list and detailed how to's on many techniques she uses when building! Shanty2Chic shares that Home Depot will cut everything for FREE as well, so why not make something.  Ana's plans are limitless - so many - where does a girl start...?  Maybe I can start with this bench - I am sure it would look great in my house.


I would love to hear what you think...

  2. Cute bench! When do you have time to do all of this?? You are a "Jill of all trades" for sure! I really didn't kow that Home Depot cuts things for free. Maybe I should start building some furniture. I think the fun part would be the staining/painting. Let me know how it works for you!
