DIY: Pottery Barn Centerpiece

April 4, 2012 by Laura

I love when I see beautiful things in stores like Pottery Barn and realize I can copy them at home for either really cheap or free!

Several weeks ago, I was in Pottery Barn and saw these great displays. I loved it all and wanted to try my hand at recreating them for our dining room table. Since the weather here is already summer-like and we’re headed to the beach in a few weeks, I had no problem skipping over a spring table and moving straight into a summer one!

This big footed vase is actually from Pottery Barn but was super cheap. I found it right before our wedding and it was $15 instead of $80!! It was the deal of the decade and I have used it over and over – such a great purchase. The glass ball and starfish inside were both presents from my parents when they went to Florida last year. I love them!

This medium-sized container is from Target and is the perfect size for one of my spray painted toy coral pieces and another starfish from my parent’s trip to Florida. All of the random small shells I used in all three containers are ones I’ve had for a long time and collected at random stores each summer.

This last small container is also from Target and holds another DIY Faux Coral piece and lots of fun little shells. I love the way this all came together and how easy it was to mimic the expensive displays in the store. Score one for cheap and easy!

The only thing I had to buy for all of this was sand. For some reason I couldn’t find any of my old stuff so I purchased a bag of play sand at Lowe’s for $3.50. The smallest they had was 50 pounds – anyone need any sand? I have plenty leftover! 🙂

    Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really
    make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design.

    Appreciate it
