My Thrifty Style

June 14, 2017 By Meegan 13 Comments

If you were to ask me, “What do you like to shop for when you go thrifting?” I would have to say, “Blue or green bottles and jars.” There is something about the colors, the shapes, the tones and their vintage stories that intrigue my thrifty style.

I know that might sound a little different, but I can see a vision for a home decor style in each bottle or jar.

Spring Vintage Bicycle Rim Wreath

April 9, 2021 By Meegan 18 Comments

On my apartment cottage back porch, I have a storage room. And I love to decorate it for each season. This time of year it is fun to hang the Spring Vintage Bicycle Rim Wreath.

My neighbors love it and I get several compliments a week.

This blog post was updated in October 2025.

The vintage bicycle rim has been used several times as a wreath for different holidays and occasions. It’s going to be fun sharing the tutorial with you as part of the Thrifty Style Team today.

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!!!

I can’t wait to show you what I have been up to. BUT, today I have a Book Page Crafts Board just for you. It is filled with book page crafts chosen just for you AND made by me.
