My Pottery Barn Look on a Budget

Because I love Pottery Barn style
 
and because I'm budget brained,
 
I'm determined to find ways
 
to "Get the Look".
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
You know Red over Black paint layering
 
is one of my faves.
 
Base painting in a semi-gloss black...
 
 
 
 
Double loading a brush of two semi-gloss reds -
 
Apple Red and Colonial Red-
 
and brushing over black.
 
 
 
And there you have the look of the
 
Pottery Barn Red.
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The canvas totes make great accent pieces
 
with the red furniture.
 
Here are just a few details  -
 
Topstitch long edges.
 
 
 
Finish side edges
 
and stitch right sides together.
 
 
 
 
 
Make a box bottom
 
by stitching across bottom
 
forming a triangle.
 
 
 
 
Turn .
 
Add grommets around top.
 
put a fabric covered cardboard square in bottom.
 
 
 
 
I've used the layered red over black
 
in several paint projects under
 
the "Painted Furniture" tab
 
in the menu at the top.
 
Here is a recent bedroom set:
 
(including chalkboard headboard
 
and cork topped nightstand)
 
 
 
 
Style on a budget.
 
It's a fun challenge.
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
Hope your days are filled with fun projects too!
