Pallet for Home: Knock Off Project from Ballard Designs

Knock Off Project from Ballard Designs

Saturday, August 25, 2012

Whenever the Ballard Designs catalog comes in the mail I'm immediately drooling over each page. I fell in love with their Lindsay mirror that retails for $199.

I recreated my own version of this mirror for $14.00 and leftover spray paint from home. I purchased some small wreaths from the Dollar Store at $7 a piece total. I spray painted them white with some left over spray paint.

Then I went out and about in search of a mirror. Well needless to say the size I needed was around 36 inches and they were around $50.00. Therefore I thought I needed to come up with a new plan. I went to Michael's and bought a 10 inch mirror for approximately $5.00 with a coupon. But, I knew that wasn't going to cut it. Then I found this enormous frisbee in the summer clearance section for $1.35. I spray painted it gray with leftover spray paint.

Then I added pieces of paper behind each of the wreaths sprayed in gray spray paint, and then glued them around the frisbee. I knew I couldn't add too much weight to the flimsy frisbee because it was thin and 36 inches across. Which was the perfect size considering the one I wanted to by from BD was 35 inches.

I decided to go ahead and add that small mirror from Michael's to the center.

I placed it over the bed because it's not heavy at all, so it is not a safety concern for me. I really like the look of it and I'm glad I tried to recreate it. (even if it is slightly different for cost purposes)

Thanks for stopping by!
