Hey Ho everyone! Well, I finally made it to the copy cat challenge at Debbie Do’s
, I’m not really that late but I try to be up and ready when she posts the linky party.
Anyway, here is mine from the Pottery Barn catalog, truthfully I don’t buy magazines just to expensive for me and I’d rather put the money on something else…like Zumba.LOL
As I mentioned before I’ve been redoing my entryway and I’ve been saving this picture for a while, see the drawer thingy the one with the white knobs? I have one and it caught my eye and I thought “I have one of those” but couldn’t decide to paint the fronts of the drawers black or not, I don’t really care for the white knobs so I didn’t even consider painting them.
My version of the picture above! The book standing up is one wrapped in scrape book paper and the candle holder is from DT and painted a flat white.
I found the carpenter's drawer at a yardsale at least ten years ago for $6.00, from a carpenter, said he would put it in the back of his truck when he went on jobs, love those kind of yardsales! I had also painted the knobs black a long time ago and now they are getting chippy, sort of like the look.
I had this frame with a crossstitch pattern in it also found at a yardsale, didn’t have a small enough picture for it so I cut out this black, pendent light from the Crate and Barrel catalog…sort of neat don’t you think?
In the original picture they have what looks like a leather trunk and boots since I don’t have either I used a heavy wire basket that I found at GW not to long ago.
I need more black and whit prints to feel in the spaces on the wall, so far I’m liking it!
Hope you like my copy cat challenge, thanks so much for stopping by♥

You did a great job, Rondell! The cabinet is beautiful. I love the little wall gallery you made above it. It's nice that this picture inspired you! Wonderful job!
XO,

hi Rondell...so glad you made it to the party. This is an awesome copy cat. I LOVE it! Yours is cuter and really shows how to think outside the box with things you already have. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so jealous of your carpenter's drawers! They're so cool!I think you did a great job on the challenge. It's a copy cat, but it's you, too.
Rondell you did GREAT! Pottery Barn has nothing on you girl!!! I love that carpenter thingy you got from a yard sale. Enjoy your day, Gail
i think it looks great!!!! love the 2 drawer chest a whole bunch!!
Great job! I like yours better than the original because it's not as "busy". I love this linky party, so much inspiration!
This is a great copycat Rondell! I think yours looks even better than theirs. I love the way your whole entryway looks.
Looks terrific! Love what you did! XO, Pinky
Hi Rondell, I love how your entry way looks..love the black and white..very warm and inviting.;)
It looks great! I love your copy!
Debbie
You got a cool look going here. I love PB style and you got it!
This old box is simply beautiful! I like how you accessorized it, too. I have an old silverware box sitting in the garage I just didn't want to paint, and I think I have found MY copycat answer. I like the finish on yours better than paint! Thanks for sharing.
Love this cute little set up! Its perfect ;)
I love how your entryway turned out! It has an old vintage feel to it. You did a great job using inspiration from that page.
It looks fabulous! Love the vintage drawers and the wire basket. Perfect!
Oh I love it. Such a great chest and your vignette is perfect. Love the wall collage also. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I LOVE what you did, Rondell! Using the picture for inspiration, and coming up with your own design worked out wonderfully! You should be very happy with your entry...it looks great!!!!
xxoo
This looks so welcoming. I love the drawers and the slip cover on the chair. I have seen those book bundles all over the place but have not made one yet. Yours looks perfect!
Ooohh L O V E, the whole area! Never thought of cutting pics out of magazines...what a great idea, now i have a feeling that my stack of magazines will never shrink!! Thanks for stopping by my place, i'll be following!
Wow, Rondell, you nailed it! I love this copy cat. Your vignette is *perfect*.
xoxoxoox,

The drawer looks amazing, I will have to be on the lookout this spring and summer for one :) NICE!!
Great job Rondell! I saw this picture and am in the process of knocking it off too! I hope mine turns out half as good as yours:)
Thx for your post, I really enjoy your blog. Long time lurker, first time commenter, you know the drill. I tried to share this one time before, I don’t think it posted correctly…hopefully it will this time!
What a lucky find with those carpenters drawers. I love the whole look.
Janet
What a score! Can't believe you found that awesome carpenter's cabinet for $6.00. Looove it!
I'm pleased to be your newest follower, Mary Alice
The carpenters box is way better looking than any PB purchase. Vintage is truly the way to go. Well done.
I just stumbled upon your blog and love it!!! I can't wait see what you post next! I am your newest follower!

$6...can you even imagine! beautiful.
I think I like your version better than the original. It looks great, & I love the carpenter's tool chest.
Thank you for popping over to my blog re: the query about GFC. I got some really great comments and plenty of much needed help. Apparently, if you have blogspot.com, nothing will happen to your followers. Google is going after the ones that pose themselves as a blog, but are actually a business selling something & are just trying to amass a large following to advertise to. Does that make sense? It always sounds so much more clear in my mind than when I write it out.....lol!

I like your grouping better too!
Love your carpenter's drawers.
Great patina.
Can't buy that at PB!
Love it!

You go girl - it's better than PB since you did it on such a small budget! Gotta love a gal that puts her Zumba first! Thanks so much for joining our Impossibilities Challenge.
