Pottery Barn Cubby Storage-KNOCK OFF

Have you seen these in the Pottery Barn Catalog?

I just love these wall mount cubbies.  I've been in PB several times petting them but think their prices are ridiculous.  I figured it couldn't be too hard to make one...but I'm not good with power tools except maybe a drill and a glue gun.

I've been on the hunt for a few weeks for something I could use to make a knock off cubby shelf like this one.

I thought about using a crate and adding my own dividers...again, not good with a power saw.....

so yesterday I was in the thrift store and saw this.

(do your animals have to sniff everything out that you bring home?  mine do)

 It only has 9 compartments and NOT 20...and it doesn't have a backing on it....but for $15.00 it could be mine.  Now I'm not really complaining but I think $15.00 is CRAZY insane for this chunk of orange-ish wood.  But yesterday was my lucky day and everything was HALF OFF so I got it for $7.50.  After I got it home I realized it even has the exact SAME SHAPE at the top as mine.....with those little curved side rails at the top and bottom.

I spray painted it heirloom white and distressed the edges with a butter knife before it was completely dry.

so this is MY version.  What do you think?  I was pretty happy with it.  I hot glued a piece of burlap to the back, and stenciled the numbers with a fine sharpie black pen.

So here's their version:

and here's MY version again:

all the little white pitchers have been picked up here and there for less than $1.00 each, including that Anthropologie Cup with my husbands initial!  The old crusty Virginia License plate dated 1958 is my husbands birth year and I bought if for him at the DC Big Flea last time it was in town.

I can just see changing this out with different themes.  RIght now I've got all whites in there because I refuse to admit that Summer is leaving us fast.  It's a reminder to me of warm days and cool nights and crickets and fireflies and air conditioning.  

But come November I might be ready to try something like this

Is this not the cutest?  I love the little packages and that tiny little squirrel down there peeping out from the cubby!   

So for an afternoon of spray painting and a little stenciling I got something that I've wanted for a very long time!

Another thing that I've always drooled over is this

It's an Apple ipad.  It's basically a mini flat laptop that you can take anywhere, it's as thin as a notebook. Since I'm so addicted to reading blogs my husband kept saying "you really need an ipad".  But thrifty me kept replying that I was perfectly happy with the desktop computer that we have.  Sure it would be nice to lay on the couch and surf blogs...or take it outside and lay in the hammock....but really.....such a luxury!

Well....my husband and kids chipped in and bought me one for my Birthday!  At first I was insistent they take it back!  The frugal thrifty side of me didn't want my kids parting with their hard earned money for something so extravagant.  But my daughter pointed out that by the time everyone bought me a gift combined it was more practical for them to do this!  So I ripped that box open and I've been glued to it ever since!

Here's my favorite spot to relax and visit you

  

 Have a wonderful week!

I just stumbled accross your blog today!! I love it!! you are so creative!! I love, love, love your journal ideas!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[pamelajane]

Wow! Orange you glad you saw the potential in that shelf unit? Your transformation is wonderful!

[Melony at Whimsy Daisy!]

Thrifty Miss Priss...you are quite the girl! You did such a great job, and I can tell you LOVE it, which is the best feeling huh? I just Mod Podged a filing cabinet and was so tickled with the results. I've had some craft disasters lately, so it was nice to have a success. Drooling over your fancy schmancy ipad. Awesome!

[Nathalie Thompson]

You ROCK! That shelf transformation is genius. Even for $15, it would have been a great deal (I'm sure the PB shelf cost WAY more!) but I KNOW about the inner need to be down right CHEAP. Way more satisfactory than just buying something for a "reasonable" price. haha!

[rosa]

Look at you! I love that shelf. Daig, you're good!!! Love the iPad too! You rock it, girl!

[Kelly]

Wow!! I love it! What a great idea. I see things like that all the time in my thrift store, I will look at them in a new light now. Thanks for sharing a great idea.

[Jill]

Love your version of the shelf and yours is every bit as wonderful as theirs if not more so! Nothing like a little creativity!

[Claudia]

Love your version of the PB Cubbies - it looks wonderful.

Ooooh! an iPad! I'm a wee bit jealous - Enjoy!

xo

[Hayley]

Great replica! There is nothing more satisfying than getting a deal like that! And I love the idea of changing the contents with the seasons!

[natalea]

wow Robin!!! your knockoff is outstanding! great job! and I hope you had a delightful birthday....
xoxox nat

[kana]

Your version of the shelf is great....and for a few bucks and some elbow grease!! I want one. Soooo lucky to have the Ipad. I really want one.

[kathy]

Boy my spelling was terrible! lol

[kathy]

Lucky you! First of all, your version of the shelves looks just as good as PB's, you have to love that! And secondly, youhave a gret family to get you that awesome gift. Happy Birthday late:>)

[barbara]

Robin, that is fabulous! I will never walk past those cubbies again. Can't wait to see what you do with it at Christmas!

[Karla Nathan]

Happy birthday!! What a great gift!!

And I like your shelf better than PBs- you had me at burlap backing.

[jen]

ooo sooo cute! Love your version! Now I want one:)What a sweet family!

[tabitha]

Hi Robin,
I just love the version u created. sooo cool. now if only i could convince hubby to put more holes in the wall...lol

[Heather Kowalski]

Robin!!! It is just an AMAZING transformation from that orange wood to the beauty that you created!! I LOVE it... so ingenious of you to think of this and at a fraction of the cost, which is always wonderful!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!!
LOve the ipad too... I don't have one but my stepmother does... I always play on it!

xoxo Heather

[sue]

Robin, it's AWESOME! I caved and bought the PB one, but don't regret it. And yes, Cody sniffs everything I bring home, too...

[Cat@BudgetBlonde]

Oh my gosh! I love your blog! I just randomly popped over here when googling some Halloween decorations! You are too funny saying you went to pottery barn to "pet" the storage shelf. I laughed out loud because I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! We are thrifty soul sisters (and Virginians too1)
