Rustic Paned Mirror: Pottery Barn Knock-off
Want Pottery Barn style at a fraction of the cost? Try this knock-off rustic mirror by Carissa from Carissa Miss!
When a client approached me to help her with a project turning some old windows into mirrors I was so excited. I have been obsessed with this Pottery Barn mirror, but $349 is a major ding to the budget. I knew this would be a great opportunity to make a knock-off version.
My version:
Pottery Barn's version:
Can you believe how much alike these turned out?
The best part? We only had to buy the mirrors!
I started by giving them a quick dry brushed whitewash with Simplicity. Then followed up with the natural wax. Ta-Da! I made TWO versions for less than HALF of the Pottery Barn version.
It kind of looks like the mirrors are distorted, but it's hard to get the angle where the light doesn't reflect off the mirrors.
Some up-close details:
I love the rusted latches.
