Pottery Barn Plant Stand Knockoff and Giveaway Reminder

I actually posted this plant stand a few weeks ago, but forgot to show my inspiration, so this is an update of that post.
I finally decided to try a knock off when I found this poor sad little plant stand at a garage sale for $3.
I remembered seeing one very similar to it in last years Pottery Barn catalogue.


Obviously this was a pretty simple paint and distress project, but I am still very happy with how it turned out.

I never distress quite as much as other people do. I think I am just fighting with myself
over the paint job I just worked so hard on. Do you have trouble sanding off
 too much of the paint you just put on your projects, too?

I almost forgot, don't forget the Restyled Sundays party and giveaway is still going on here!
Linking to the following parties:

  1. Cute! I'm convinced white paint fixes everything! I saw a similar stand at a garage sale for $5 and I didn't buy it...I'm still kicking myself and that was almost a year ago! I could have a cute plant stand just like yours...sigh...

    Anyway, stopping by from Type A!

  6. Your redo looks great! The plain wood finish really looked dated. The distressed creamy finish now is lovely. I personally prefer a bit more heavy distressing but I hear you about it just seeming wrong to paint something up so nicely only to purposely ruin that flawless finish. LOL
