This is a guy who never gets rattled, but clearly something was unsettling him. It [Read more…]
Pottery Barn Knockoff Recycling Basket

Pottery Barn Knockoff Mason Jar
I am obsessed with making my own knockoff versions of Pottery Barn decor. I was inspired by the Pottery Barn Mason Jar in the most recent catalog. Did I mention the cost of this mason jar is $49.00? I knew I could recreate it with an empty, Costco size pickle jar I had placed in the [Read more…]
