My studio is one GIANT step closer to completion!!

Let me just say Pottery Barn is the bane of my existence. I hate that I love so many things they sell there, just like I love/hate Restoration Hardware. However, there's this one table a ton of ladies who enjoy the sewing pine for, me included:

Oh! What's up, PERFECTION?
It's unfair for PB to style their rooms so brilliantly. Luckily Lowe's sells ClosetMaid 9 Cube organizers which look exactly like the PB table. Bonus: they were on sale & I had a coupon!

I dismantled our bed, saved the headboard and foot board, and voilà, instant tabletop. It couldn't have worked out better and I'm being resourceful.


Another really lucky find were the Fira chests I bought from a guy on Craigslist over a year ago. He sold 5 unopened sets to me for $40! Ikea sold them for $20 each and now they're discontinued. When they're lined up like that, they totally look like a mini apothecary! I plan to make these adorable tables with the other two:
