knock off decor, copycat decor
Pam from Our Adventures in Home Improvement has been blessed with a husband who can build just about anything. Each Christmas he likes to make her a piece of furniture, and 2012 found them in need of table for behind the couch. Pam and her handy hubs modified the design for a buffet from Pottery Barn that provides plenty of storage for extra dishes and such. I can only dream of being able to build a piece of furniture like this!
As we all celebrate the beginning of a new year, Knock of Décor also celebrates its second birthday. I am so grateful for all of you who visit each day to get your knock-off fix and make this site the great success that it is.
I love that I get to showcase such amazing talent and would like to recognize the top ten projects featured on KOD during 2012 according to page views. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane…
As part of her family room makeover, Jessica from Four Generations One Roof joined forces with her dad to build a new media console for the space.

Jessica even scored a piece of reclaimed lumber for the top that adds a lovely rustic element.
Virginia from LiveLoveDIY is a super frugal gal who loves thrift store excursions. On one of her trips, she came across a little, outdated wooden desk for $20. It reminded Virginia of a gorgeous $2000 vanity she’d just seen at Crate &Barrel. Virginia knew just what to do and transformed the piece with some high gloss black paint and a sleek chrome handle.
Hillary from The Friendly Home joined forces with Ana White to fill a large space in her friend’s dining room with this rustic sideboard. Just as Hillary hoped, the piece is full of character with its deep red finish and planked appearance. Needless to say, Hillary is a crazy talented builder. I am simply in awe of her skills!
We have been following along as Whitney from Shanty 2 Chic has built one fabulous piece of furniture after another for her son’s bedroom. The most recent and final addition was Ana White’s 1×3 sawhorse desk that saves on space but doesn’t skimp on style. Seriously, after this latest build, I think I am ready [...Read More]
Ever since the Restoration Hardware Factory Cart Table came out, Amy from The Blissful Bee has been dying to have it! Unfortunately, there was a price tag of about $1000 – and for Amy (and probably the rest of us, too!), that was out of the question. That’s when Amy and her hubby decided to [...Read More]
