So, as I was browsing through the pages of the new Pottery Barn catalogue, I spied with my little eye, a beautiful piece of love wall art!
Pure, sweet, and simple lovliness!
However, it is quite large and well…pricey.
Soooo…off to Hobby Lobby I went! Strolling through the home accent clearance section with my 9 year old son, I knew I had a very limited amount of time. Who knew within 2 minutes I would spy this little baby…
Perfect size for over my cook top! The wooden letters were also a Hobby Lobby buy on the same trip. Needless to say, someone knew my sweet little guy was only going to last so long, because it was literally a 10 minute trip. Sweet!
Bonus…take a look at the price tag…
At first I was going to remove the tray handles, but decided to leave them, they made it a little different and able to actually be used as a tray.
The first step was to simply glue the wooden letters on the tray { I used liquid nails }…
Next, I took the handles off and spray painted the whole tray and letters with my fave…Rustoleum Heirloom White! I Love that it is a pure creamy white! I waited for it to dry, put the handles back on and ….
Yes…I promise I took that picture in January! { Here in the South, we can still have our pretty green ferns in January!}
I added a simple jute ribbon bow {an ETSY find! } and that’s it!
I am a very neutral person by nature, but tend to LOVE a pop of color, so the tone on tone is a bit of a stretch for me! Something in me just wants to paint it red! {maybe that’s just my crafting ADD talking! }
So sweet, simple, and easy! And for more Valentine’s Day Ideas, you have got to see our Valentine Mason Jar Craft…

So cute!! Don’t you just LOVE Hobby Lobby?! This is a fantastic knock-off!!
It looks just like the PB one…minus the price tag! I just love Heirloom White paint, a perfect color. You did a great job.

I love it! Really turned out great and I love that you left the handles on for a different look. Super!
Great job. Thanks for the lesson. It’s all football here this afternoon and Hobby Lobby is closed but someday soon I’ve just got to go visit them.
What a great knockoff!
I love this! So simple, yet a great statement piece. I especially like the addition of the bow.
Love this! New follower 🙂

I love your LOVE sign! I’m a very monochromatic, neutral lovin’ kinda girl….so, I wouldn’t change a thing. Who makes the heirloom white paint you used?
Sharon

So pretty, Bonnie! Was going to attempt this myself so I’m glad to see how well you executed it!! XO
I love this and love the simplicity even more! I wish I had a Hobby Lobby in my little town darn it!
Ummm what a great knock off! I love yours way better than the overpriced PB inspired one!
Great job on the Pottery Barn knockoff. I actually like yours better. Love that you left the handles and added the burlap bow. Your also came in at the right price. What more could one ask for. I also love your Valentine’s Apothecary jars. Thanks for sharing you creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best Party.
Uncommon is a great name for your blog because you get UNCOMMONingly good deals!
VERY AWESOME LOVE SIGN!
(thanks Son, for being such a good boy that trip)

this is a great knock off! My hubs has some great wood in the back of the truck headed to the dump, but I’m going to rescue it for a future copy of your craft. thanks for the great inspiration. P.S. Why not do your sign in a blue a little darker than the tile?
Awesome knock off! I might even like yours better!
Love your knock off!!! Great work!
Your knock of is lovely, much better than Pottery Barns, thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! I LOVE this.

Nice job. I’ve been tossing my Pottery Barn catalogs … don’t want to be tempted … but now I’ll look at them with an eye to steal … or I mean tastefully reproduce. We don’t have a Hobby Lobby here … sounds like a lot of you go there. What brand of paint do you find the “heirloom white” or does it come in various brands? I’m kind of a Home Depot or Lowes kind of person. I love tone on tone….or maybe just one color and neutrals. Also…when you say jute ribbon … is that the same as burlap? Anyway… going to check out your archives. becky@reinventingtheordinary.com
That is so pretty!! I love how it turned out!! Fabulous job:)
I currently have a link party that I would love you to share this at.

Looks fabulous! Very clever knockoff! I had my eye on that Pottery Barn sign too. So sad we don’t have a Hobby Lobby around here – I hear so much about it around Blogland and have never been to one. Thanks so much for linking up to The Creative Spark. I’ll be featuring it on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend!
Jenn 🙂
LOVE it!! Would be so adorable as part of a Valentine’s vignette 🙂

Love it! Thanks so much for linking up!!
Great knockoff! Thanks for sharing. I shared it today on my FB page.

Just found this post through the Find Some Love Fest. I love seeing DIYs for pottery barn knock-offs. Also, I understand how the ferns are still green. I’m in the South too, and it’s 70 degrees today!
Love this! We have had so much fun with the Find Some Love Fest! It’s such a great way to connect with and support our fellow bloggers. We are following you and would love for you to visit our blog.

Whoa! This is gorgeous!! What a fabulous idea!! Thanks so much for linking up to my first ever linky party 🙂
So pretty and simple gals! I love it!!!

Loving this…genius!!
Great job! It’s even better than the original! 🙂 Love it!
This is amazing!!! It turned out great! I am going to have to try this! It would look perfect on my house! Pinned!
Absolutely love this ladies! Pinning!
Love those Pottery Barn knockoffs! Love that little jar too!
I plan on copying this idea for my place, but if you like that pop of colour you should go for it. I think a bit of red dry-brushed on the letters would bring out the red in the books on your shelf (shelves) and really tie it all together.
This idea is so clever, Trish! Love how easy the tray became the perfect frame… genius use of letters too!
I’ve featured you this weekend on DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 364. Thanks for linking up! 🙂
Such a cute idea. I would leave it out beyond Valentine’s Day.
