pottery barn knock off

 Pottery Barn wants $399.00 for this ledge....  Seriously?  

So remember this post about my $5.00 doors?  They looked like this for a year or so


but I got tired of that and painted it with ASCP Paris Grey and Old White
this is just painted - no waxing


It was pretty, but not ledgy like ... I showed the PB catalog to Jeff and said, I want this. ..  will you cut this thing in half for me?   Remember we started was 2 doors that he glued together with wooden dowels .....

and now we have this ...... 


love that shine.....  
a coat of clear wax, lots of sanding, and top coat of clear and dark wax and buff buff buff



I am not settled on what I have on the ledge now, but changing it up is half the fun for me


 you like?

I am going to try to remember to link up to

  3. I can't believe the difference! The room looks like a different place! VERY beautiful and calm. The Mr. needs to add a room to your home so that your spindle furniture has a place! Maybe finish your attic. That could be a very cool room!

  5. I love the ledge! Which room did it end up in? Yours looks much better than the PB $399 version. Now you can have a ledge in each room!
