Rock Your Knockoff Tour

By 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!!!

Lamps.com Happy Mail

By 13 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’6144′]

 

I was compensated for this post by Lamps.com.   All views and opinions are 100% mine.

A few weeks ago I received some Lamps.com Happy Mail!  I am lucky enough to share that mail with YOU today!!

Don’t you LOVE when the there is a knock at the door and YOU KNOW it’s something special??
About a week earlier I was browsing through Lamps.com   I have been wanting a new lamp in our living room.  BUT, it had to be a quality lamp, and “airy”.  Kind of like a basket, but NOT a basket.
Ordering a lamp through the mail can be stressful.  What if it isn’t packed correctly?  What if it’s broken, or smashed??  That is one thing I stress about when ordering fragile items online.
My heart was set on Dimond – Bronze with Hightlight Lincoln Table Lamp 
Well, my worries weren’t needed AT ALL.  My lamp was packed very carefully.  I first opened the box and spotted the lamp shade.  Don’t you hate it when a lamp shade is cracked?  Especially a new one?
After pulling out the lamp shade, I spotted THE lamp.  THE lamp I was so excited to see and use in our home.
As I inspected the shade,  I discovered I worried for nothing!  The shade was in PERFECT condition. No cracks or tears anywhere.  I was falling in love!
I just love me a drum shade don’t you?  And, this drum shade was a texture I desired in our living room.  Not too heavy, but slightly textured.  Perfection!
And the lamp!!  Oh my goodness the lamp was even more than I anticipated!  It has so much detail, with the black circular motion and the bits of gold.  Not too much, but subtle enough to add some contrast.
A bonus…for as light and textured as this lamp is, it came out of the box in a perfect shape.  There wasn’t one thing out of place.  No crunched sides or indentions.  It had been wrapped and packaged with every intent to get to me whole and in impeccable condition.
Look at the detail, and the craftsmanship.  Just as I saw it on Lamps.com
What an excellent way to light up our living room.  It adds class and defintion to the whole room.  Exactly what I had in mind.
If YOU are looking for a lamp, DO NOT hesitate to order one from Lamps.com.  I highly recommend them, their customer service and the quality of their lamps.  I would definitely order a lamp from them again.  The varity of lamps available is second to none.  There are floor lamps, accent lamps, outdoor lighting, wall lights, ceiling fans and so much more.
Three reasons to order from Lamps.com:
* You shouldn’t have to pay to have your items delivered. We’ll cover the ground shipping cost of your items, regardless of cost. Whether it’s $10 or $10,000, your item ships for free!
* Here at Lamps.com we want to make shopping for lighting as easy as possible. One way we do this is by saving you a trip to the hardware store for bulbs. When you order a fixture from us, we will send light bulbs that work with the fixture you ordered!
*Lamps.com strives to ensure that you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. Qualifying purchases can be returned up to 30 days from the date your order is delivered. The return process is quick and easy, however prior authorization is required to properly process a return. To begin the return process, please email returns@lamps.com or call us at 888-602-7011.
Thanks to Lamps.com my living room is complete, not only with light, but with style as well.
Yhanks for visiting my blog today and letting me share my Lamps.com Happy Mail with YOU!
