Knock Off Decor

We’ve all been there – what we want isn’t what our pocketbook will allow. Bummer, right? Well these knock off decor DIY projects will give your home that high end look you love, without hurting your wallet.

Just about anytime I find something for my home that I love but has a steep price tag, I always ask myself, “Can I make that somehow?”

More often than not, the answer is, “No, silly girl.”

But sometimes, every once in a while, the answer is, “Girl, yes!”

And so I do.

Here are some of my best knock-off decor projects that saved me a wad of cash but gave me the look I wanted.

    Seeing that bookcase reminded me of the young man you built it for. I haven’t heard you speak of him since he left for college. Any updates??
