I'm A Copycat

If "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" then I am definitely a flatterer.

I pinned the ring of keys on the right over a year ago.


I changed the items on the scale when I was doing my next Pinterest "copycat" vignette.


Another copycat project involved changing the color of a favorite bench.

The  yellow bench and  white bench were both pinned over a year ago.


I recently switched this red bench


with this green bench in the living room.


I really like the bench as is with the yellow stripe down the center, but the shade of red definitely clashes with the red sofa in our guest room. 

After a new coat of Annie Sloan Arles, I set up the bench to emulate the Pinterest pics.


The scale and books are back in the house.

Since it will be outside, I'm not sure what will end up on the bench.

But, I am sure I can find  some great ideas on Pinterest,

    I so like that yellow bench!!! You have inspired me to think of ways to dress up our yucky cement slab patio! Your area feels so bright and inviting!

    How utterly adorable! From one colour girl to another, definitely DO the white kitchen! I did, then dressed it all up in primary colours and love waking up to both worlds every morning.

    So nice to meet you!

    I think it's great how you used the Pinterest photos and made the copies, but made them all your own. I love the colorful benches!
