Pottery Barn makes us all drool however their prices do not!
I bought some lanterns at an auction that look just like theirs but mine were only $5. each!

Hurry up and show us.

Ruth said...

I love both of them. The PB one filled with plants is such a great idea. I also love yours. Yes, at that price you should have brought them all home. I am looking for one for my living room. Hopefully I find a great deal like yours.

Can't wait to see what you decide to do.

Lori Lucas said...

I am waiting to see..................your own handmade version! I have no doubt that you could whip an even better version of the PB cage out of your magic cottage!

Beth@The Stories of A to Z said...

I wish you had bought me one too! How fantastic!! Looking forward to seeing your redo.

Richella said...

Are you going to spray paint it? I guess you could go just about any direction, couldn't you?

The PB picture really is cute. I wonder if they know how much we all pore over their catalogs just to get inspiration?

Have a great weekend!

kljswilson said...

OMG, I visited family in Shreveport over Christmas and FELL IN LOVE with Red Door Interiors!! When i saw that price tag, I had to look at my bulletin board at the business card I snagged! I wish they could easily ship the whole store to me in Ohio! LOVE the coop!
