Pottery Barn Canvas Hack

This almost feels like a cheat of a blog post because my knockoff Pottery Barn canvas was just too easy. I really liked this when I saw it online

"Darling" Sugarboo Art
However the $280 price tag was less than desirable. Plus I wanted it pink so off to Michael's I went (until Hobby Lobby becomes my new zone on 4/18/14!)

What you will need for this project

- 16 x 20 canvas (you can choose any size but this worked best with the size letter stencils I bought)
- paint color of your choice (I went with Martha Stewart acrylic in Poodle Skirt with a satin finish)
- washi tape (to make sure your letters line up straight)
- letter stencils
- sponge 

And it's as easy as that!
David is going to build a frame around it that is white washed. So I will update this post when that happens. From $280 to only $20! I can't wait to see it come together in mini's nursery!

  8. I love a pottery barn hack. While I do love the place, they are so over-priced on most things!
