I like Pottery Barn, but I don't like their prices. Sometimes they are just too much for what they are selling. Anyway, I found these beautiful Tuscan Urns and I fell in love.
I have been looking for something similar for MR.P and I's room. They would complete our room and look wonderful! Absolutely perfect on our dresser. But, at $89 and $30 each (because you need 2 to make it look complete) I can't do that. Especially not on accessories ;) So I started brainstorming and thinking about what I have. I have a green vase that is beautiful, but doesn't really go with our decor. Then I just cleaned out a lemonade bottle from trader joe's because I thought it was a cute shape and big enough to keep. So I decided I will use a textured rustoleum spraypaint on them. Don't use regular spraypaint on them because of what happened last time. Even if they don't have the right color, I will use a light colored texture as the first coat, then I will use the right color over it. I sure hope this works out! I'll let you know how it goes. Cross your fingers for me! I'd like to keep this project under $10 (2 things of spraypaint).

Good idea! I look forward to seeing how this turns out. I'm with you - love PB, but they are PROUD of their stuff. Thankfully, my Dad is a crazy awesome builder, so he replicates their furniture for me. We've been doing our own plans, but I just found this: http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/search/label/plans.
that site is awesome! I had checked it out a few times as well. I should actually try it sometime though ;)
Good luck! Those pots are gorgeous. I love them as a do it yourself project since you won't have to get them "just right". And that's awesome about the adoption stuff going on. Hope it continues to go well!
I love do it yourself projects!!
hope it turns out how you want it!
=)
eek love it! so funny-went and read your other post, I throw away EVERYTHING and get in trouble for it! My husband will say...hmmm...where is that...and I know exactly where it went :)
Great idea! Can't wait to see the finished product! And I am with you on the prices.
Loved those vases too but yikes...
Cant wait to see how yours tun out
Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
I have lusted after those urns for a while also. I can handle $30, but like you, I need more than one and $80 plus for the big boy is too much.
Good luck with your project! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Oh, and I fell in love with those pink stairs on Haven and Home too. We just redid our stairs (blogged about it) and then I told DH...I think I want to redo them pink. He about had a cow!
