The Spring Collection from Pottery Barn has been released, and if you like Pottery Barn, it doesn't disappoint. I was especially taken with the vases and vessels collection. To my surprise, my mother-in-law gave me a beautiful two-handle vase from the collection for my birthday. I was thrilled with my new vase and wanted to create a spring vignette, but I needed an additional vase. Since I didn't want to spend the money for another Pottery Barn vase, I decided to get creative. What if I could revamp a different vase to resemble the Pottery Barn style?
Let's see what I did...
This is the vase I received for my birthday. I could look at it all day!
I bought a vase from Goodwill for $6.00, so if it didn't turn out well, I wouldn't feel too bad.
I began by applying a primer coat (all products used are listed at the end of the post). After it dried, I painted the vase with moss green chalk paint.
Then, I sketched a design on the vase by hand that resembled the one from the Pottery Barn vase. After completing the design, I blended acrylic paints to create colors that would complement the Pottery Barn vase. Finishing with clear, white, and dark waxes for depth and to seal the vase.
The completed vase in a vignette with my birthday present looks good, if I do say so myself.
