It was only a matter of time......



Well, of course, in my fantasy of the mind, I actually believe that the 
peeps at Pottery Barn are loyal readers of my blog 'cause they think
I am some kind of design savant......picking the next BIG design trends....HA!

Seeing a really good knock-off of the vintage Euro bench that I scored
at last year's Farm Chicks show in the recent Pottery Barn catalog only
contributes to my delusions!

Unbelievable how similar they are. I love your bench (well and PBs as well for that matter).

I have to say... I like yours better! What a cool color!!!

Next thing you know they might start paying you for being their inspiration... or maybe just send you thank you products!

well the million dollar question is ....which is cheaper, the original or the PB knock off? I have an antique bench like that too and wonder how much they are charging for this little number??

Love your bench and I know what you mean. I painted a paned mirror and then discovered one very similar in PB catalog and was quite thrilled too.

We don't send PB or Ballard Designs anything free for copying their style and products so why should they send us free things for copying them?

Jill said...

Well hello 'Anonymous' - don't think I asked the Pottery Barn peeps to send me ANYTHING.....
