Map Wall Decor Pottery Barn Knock Off
Decor inspiration comes in many forms. Sometimes for me it’s in the form of a simple catalog from Pottery Barn.The day this 150-page inspiration guide comes in the mail I can be found on the couch, under a blanket {since it hasn’t warmed up yet!}, perusing for hours. I pour over the objects within again and again until I figure out a way to bring some PB style to my own home, without the PB prices of course.
The important elements in this image are: The map and graphic prints, the architectural element, the wood tones and the candles. Here is my knock off map wall in our foyer.
This was thrown together one night at about 10:00pm. {Nobody said inspiration was timely did they?}
I had some old maps but tried them out and they just weren’t working for me. I went to the next best thing which were pages from a book I got at a free swap event last fall. It has all these images that I wasn’t sure just what to do with until this project. I’d thought about framing them but haven’t gotten any frames yet but they worked perfectly here.
I did add some framed maps to the scene.
But I caught it back there and have been looking for a place for my thrifted flour sacks for a while.
Up on the bulletin board it went. I have two more waiting for a home. Make that one more. The other has plans to reupholster a stool soon. And that’s my knocked off map wall look in the foyer, what do you think? Is it a close knock off? I think it’s a little creative, quirky, and totally free! I didn’t purchase anything for this look. That’s probably my favorite part 🙂
i love the mantel! its beautiful! and im right there with you on the couch/blanket/pottery barn syndrome. swoon!
I adore it! I especially like the pages from the book, they are so ornate and beautiful. Very inspired, Jessica.
Wow this is stunning! I thought it was the PB Catalog…seriously! Job well done!
That turned out so beautifully! It’s so eclectic.
Love this! Just smashing! i might try and create this on one of my walls
Visiting from Kimbas! And I love it!! Brilliant not framing the pages! And that sack…swoon!!! 🙂 OMG! I have just one and I am debating what to do with it. Oh and that framed fabric…amazing!! 🙂
Lovely blog. Hope to see you at My Dream Canvas!!
I love it! You’ve done a great job and I love it that you didn’t copy what PB did exactly but just took the main elements and used that as your inspiration and jumping point. Great job!
