Larissa from Prodigal Pieces says, “No one can deny that Pottery Barn offers a classic style in their housewares, home decor and furniture. Problem is not everyone can afford it.” Fortunately, that’s not a problem for a crafty gal like Larissa because she knows how to get the same look for a fraction of the price. Take this rustic bench. Larissa and her husband were inspired by a piece from Pottery Barn and recreated it with mortise and tenon joints, leather upholstery, and a storage shelf. Plus, they even improved on their inspiration bench by upping the foam from 3” to 4”. Love it!
Larissa was inspired by the Caden Leather Bench from Pottery Barn.
