Pottery Barn Inspired Boo Luminary

Last week I was looking at Pottery Barn when I decided to paint my Pumpkin Pillow. 

While I was there I saw this Boo Luminary.

Pottery Barn Inspired Pumpkin Pillow

It must be the time of year.

The time of year I like to do Pottery Barn knock offs.

The last time I did one was for Halloween. 

This one is a little different. I wanted something fallish for the living room. I have to be careful with the color orange since my coral color can clash with it. This was just a touch so it worked.

I love painting on pillows. I did one for Easter here.

When I was perusing the Pottery Barn Catalog this year, this popped up.

Pottery Barn is a start for a lot of inspired creations. We love thumbing through the catalog or clicking on images over the computer. When October hit I knew it was time to change my decor into something spooky. I started with my mantle. It went from Fall to Spooky Halloween! I will reveal this on Friday.

In the mean time, I will show you how a little inspiration from Pottery Barn started me with an idea for my mantle change.


I recreated one of the pictures they had. I have a painting I did hanging over my mantle. There are beautiful warm colors in it that really stand out with my fall decor. But when I changed to Halloween it really didn't go.

It all was based on this guy.

The Headless Horseman....da da da daaaa!


I have a little trick that I have used before. I cover the painting instead of taking it down. It is fun to change things up with this technique.


I started with my painting.

 

I then bought some poster board in black and spray painted it with chalkboard paint.

 

I pieced together what was needed to cover the painting.

I then found some old barn wood that was needed to replicate the picture.

 

 I wrote on it with black Sharpie.

"Watch Your Heads"

 

I then wrote with white chalk like the Pottery Barn Picture.

Because my picture frame was shaped differently, I changed mine to fit better.

 

I omitted the "Welcome" and just wrote "To Sleepy Hollow"

 

Pin It

I placed the board inside the frame and added some spider webs.

It is the perfect background for my spooky mantle.

I love the way it came out and how easy it was to do.

Oh yeah! Can't forget the cost.
