Pottery Barn: DIY Version Desk

Nicole wants to build a new table that mimic the look of his inspiration Pottery Barn. When Nicole fell in love with Pottery Barn desk he knew he could not, he decided to create their own DIY version. Using the tables on them Effektiv from IKEA and two wooden file cabinet he found on Craigslist.





Nicole painted the desk and filing cabinets (only $75 for the pair) in Timid White by Benjamin Moore. She removed the legs from the Effektiv desk and created mental metal braces to attach the pieces of the desktop together and to secure it to the wall in the corner. The side portions of the desktop simply rest on the top of the file cabinets. The change between the before and after is dramatic, and Nicole's finished product is a DIY inspiration.

Leave It To Pottery Barn To Get Me In The Mood...

For Fall, that is!

Come on - you know this isn't that kind of blog.

I just got the September 2009 Pottery Barn catalog out of my mail box and, after looking through its pages, I couldn't help but have a slight longing for Autumn...


changing leaves, shorter days, sweaters, boots, apple cider, cozy blankets, crackling fires, pumpkins, corn stalks and hay bales...


Don't get me wrong - I am not ready for summer to be over, but...

once it is, I think I'll be ok with it.


But then again, I love to decorate for Fall.

It is one of my favorite times of the year.

So tell me, do these pictures make you long for Fall?

Maybe just a little bit?

Just in case you're not quite ready for the Autumn season,
here's hoping for many more days of Summer ahead!

September is typically beautiful here. One of the best months out of the whole year, if you ask me! Perfect for end-of-summer barbeque's with friends and family and enjoying beautiful sunsets...


Like my wishful thinking?

We can never truly count on sunny days up here in the Pacific Northwest, but it certainly can't hurt to hope for a couple more weeks of nice weather!
