Red White and Blue Inspiration

I am a great fan of July 4th and ALL the festivities that go along with that special day.  I love to host a fun-filled party, don’t you?

I like to create an Easy 4th of July Buffet for my guests and visitors.

It’s fun to make an Easy 4th of July Buffet using some of my traditional red, white and blue holiday decor.

I pulled out all of the red, white and blue I could find. Then got to work on layering an Easy 4th of July Buffet.

Rock Your Knockoff Tour

March 20, 2014 By Meegan 16 Comments

What a beautiful first day of Spring!!  Welcome to the Rock Your Knockoff Tour!  It’s been a fabulous week with some incredible knockoffs from some of my favorite bloggers and friends.

Today it’s my turn to Rock MY Knockoff with you!!

Knockoff Tour

While I was in Oregon this past week, my daughter and I shopped and shopped for what she wanted in her living room.  After finding THE exact fabric she was looking for, we were set.

She wanted bold black and white striped pillows.  Pottery Barn’s pricing is $39.50-$49.50 per pillow.  Hmmm… Not bad, if you can’t make it yourself, I guess.

She found the black striped fabric at IKEA for $7.99 a yard.  We were able to make 2 pillows for that price.  Amazing!  (The gold polka dot fabric was made into bedroom pillows.  But, that is for another post)

DIY Pottery Barn Knock-off Pillows

Using pillow filling from older pillows, the cost was LITERALLY $7.99 for 2 pillows.

And what a beautiful contrast against the white sofa and blue pillow.  I really love the drama of the black and white, don’t you?

The PB knock-off pillows anchor the room perfectly with the bold black and white stripes.  They each add to the other black accents in her home.  What a fun project for us to make together, too.

There you have it!!  An inexpensive way to get the PB look without the cost.  Yep, $7.99 for 2 pillows compaired to up to $49.50 for 1!!!

[slideshow_deploy id=’6144′]

 

I hope you have been enjoying Simply The BEST of 2013!!  Now it is my turn to share Simply The Best of 2013-What Meegan Makes. What Meegan Makes started on Dec 27, 2011.  Yep, it has been 2 full years of posts, creativity, amazing followers, and lots of fun friendships.  Thanks so much for joining me on this journey of What Meegan Makes.  It was a very slow start.  I was doing blogging all on my own until about a year ago.  I “met” some amazing bloggers that invited me to their “groups” and “troops” to help spread the word about my blog.  I am SO grateful from them.  (There are too many to mention)  I am a blessed woman, without a doubt.

 

I am looking forward to a new year full of ideas, inspiration and a new look.  Hopefully, my blog will continue to be a place of inspiration, recipes, thrifting, and wonderful thoughts for you to visit each day.  I also hope to make the blog more accessible for all of my readers and followers.  It will be a fabulous year!!
