10 Amazing DIY Home Decor Dupes

[@CanterburyCottage]

SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading if you haven’t watched the video yet. I assembled the spool candle stand in the reverse order-the smallest rung should have been on the bottom and the largest on top, so it would have folded up flat.

[@Lia2222]

I didn't even notice and when you said you messed up, I still couldn't see the mistake. It's all good 👍

[@KraftyGals]

🤦🏽‍♀️😮❤😂 I still love it Sherri. It’s no longer a dupe…but your original👏🏽

[@beckyrumery6928]

That was my answer. Lol. I like the way you put yours better. ❤

[@noraleestone2859]

I stopped the video and went back to look at the side-by-side shot. It took about 5 seconds, & I got it. 😉 But who cares? "Not I", said the nice Canadian lady. 🤣🤣😍

[@brendak1145]

I prefer how you did it.

[@terismidt4920]

I am so grateful for you. I love that you can look at something and make it fix my budget. I love all of these projects. Thank you for sharing these savings on to us. I'll be looking for your next video!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Teri! I appreciate you and your kind words. I am so glad that I can share some budget friendly ideas with you!

[@MaryLove-y9s]

No i like the natural look its very beautiful...😊

[@MaryLove-y9s]

Your frame with strawberries is very nice...😊

[@nowvoyagerNE]

i have never been in a pottery barn as thrift store modern is what i can afford and what i am attracted to. they made a mistake snubbing you, Sherry, as you can teach them a thing or two about beautiful home decorating!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I did go into the store just for inspiration, so if they assumed I wasn’t going to buy anything, they were right! Still, I just think it is so impolite when store clerks don’t even say hello.

[@marlenomahony8649]

I simply loved how you didn’t just copy the inspiration pieces exactly but instead allowed yourself the freedom to tailor each one to both your taste/style and available resources. You really illustrated the fact that you are using the inspiration pieces to INSPIRE your own creativity rather than copying someone else’s while still creating something that could well have come from the same high end stores. ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Marlen! I really appreciate those kind words of support! 😊

[@MaryLove-y9s]

The shell rope is epic great job...

[@debnem413]

Under your skillful tutelage we can all have high-end looking home decor without breaking the bank…..and we won’t have to darken the door of Pottery Barn ever again. Thank you, Shari!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Deb! We’ll still have to go to Pottery Barn to get ideas we can steal!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Great dupes! Love the cabinet door.

[@51Lorie]

All of the dupes were way better than the originals, in my opinion. I love them all, Sherri !

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, that is so sweet, Lorie! 😊

[@chellepitts6677]

I totally agree…and I liked that you left. The eucalyptus green…much nicer!

[@chalmadanes405]

Oh, thank you, sweet Lydia! 😊

[@debrap947]

I have to say Sherry that I prefer your dupes to any of the expensive ones. Great job! My favorite it the strawberry door frame...it just makes me smile. Thanks for sharing, God bless.

[@CanterburyCottage]

That is so very sweet of you to say, Debra! Thank you!

[@zeldathemagnificent22]

Great ideas as always! Tip; if you want to make the wood ring chain, you can connect one sawed open ring between two still closed rings. This wat you only need to saw and glue half of the rings, saves time and glue!

[@missjackson1014]

You are so UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED! Great dupes! My favorite is the Eucalyptus frame! Stunning!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, I’m so glad you like it, Miss Jackson!

[@SherryNerreau]

I definitely liked the eucalyptus leaves left green Sherry. Much prettier than the item you were duping. And I thought the vase with the leaves glued on was fantastic! I thought you would use a clay mould to dupe this item, but this idea worked so well.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Sherry! I need to buy some clay molds. Right now, I don’t own any. 😜

[@mrs.z1172]

Good morning Sherry, I truly enjoyed this video, the inspiration piece was probably my favorite from your video ( just a little more than the other DIY’s) please do more videos like this , God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@roxiewallace2900]

You are so down to earth and sweet, that's why I enjoy watching your videos! And, obviously, incredibly talented. So, shame on Pottery Barn and their poor customer service. Your dupes were so YOU, and that's what our home decor should reflect for each one of us! 😊

[@nicolehubbard3536]

Oh my goodness, Sherry, I'm actually squealing at how cute those mushrooms are!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Nicole! I love that mushrooms are having a moment.

[@trudy6971]

In the mid 90s I fell in love with an HGTV show called “Kitty Bartholomew, You’re Home” It came on at 3:00 I think and I absolutely made it a point to be home everyday to see it. It’s still one of favorites. Finding your channel has given me the same anticipation! I can’t wait to see what you’re going to come up with every time. You are a crafting genius! I’m still catching up on older episodes and enjoy the creativity of each project. I learn something on every episode. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Trudy, you are such a sweetheart! I loved that show, too! In fact, I still have her book. Her style had so much personality! I miss good HGTV shows like that one.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Wow Sherry you did an excellent job, I like them all. 😊

I have always wanted to live in a refurbished old house, I adore your white brick wall. Some of your projects would not fit in my home, but I love them all. I was astounded how well you recreated the Pottery barn items and I personally liked your chain and shell rope much better! The strawberry print on the door was my favorite project this time 😍

[@irisstormo6913]

I love that you used old thread spools. What a cute idea. 🌺🌲🌺

[@ИраКозар-ь6е]

Вы - гений переделки! Благодарю! Все работы прекрасные и стильные!

[@sheilabailey937]

The shell chain is AWESOME. My grandkids love to use the drill, maybe I can channel that interest and then I wouldn't have to invest so much time into drilling. We could make two one for me and one for their mama. Mother's day present. Yay

[@cherylmacedo5521]

That shell rope !! Nailed it !! 🤍🤍🤍

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Cheryl! I feel like I haven’t seen you for awhile. I thought maybe you had tired of my videos-you have been watching them from the start. I’m so glad you’re still here!

[@tracykehoe8292]

I love watching your dupes. I absolutely love the shell chain. The vase was so pretty. You always have such great ideas.

[@lydiabuck561]

For me, the thing that makes an outstanding vlogger is whether I think I would enjoy spending time with them in person…Sherry I think we would be great friends! I would truly love going thrifting with you and then sharing ideas as we repurposed our treasures! You’re a talented artist and just a lovely person !

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, what a lovely thing to say, Lydia! I sure wish we could go thrifting and grab lunch!

WOW WOW WOW All of these came out fantastic. the little shelf, vase and botanical frame were my favorites! I love your high-end dupes they really come out fantastic and your clever redesign is always impressive - have a Great week!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Annie! So many of the high-end stores carry mostly modern decor, so it is not easy finding items that I like (and would put in my home) to dupe!

[@conniecox2549]

I love your dupe of the shell rope better because yours have the color and size difference. Yours has more character and it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@homeideas00]

a lot of skill and ideas, great

[@kathyallen6238]

As a mini lover, I liked the little shelf unit made of the Dollar Tree boxes. I think it was ingenious. I loved how you copied expensive items so cheaply!

[@shirleyhuff1284]

Sherry, you knocked it out of the park on all of these projects. I understand why you want to keep the case, it's amazing. I cant decide which is my favorite. Love them all. You had a busy week. Going to see what is left in your store. Have a great week.

[@CanterburyCottage]

[@candacewitt7221]

Oh, thank you, Candace! I assembled the rungs is reverse order. The small rung should have been on the bottom and the largest on top, so that it can be folded flat.

[@leah__gail]

The large chain wrapped in raffia would look awesome wrapped in the leather strings, too. (such as for necklaces and bracelets) The vase @ 15:00 😍

[@CanterburyCottage]

That is a great idea, Leah! I don’t work with leather much, so I will have to keep an eye out for leather strings!

[@libbyglover6688]

Much prettier than wooden beads. The shells were a lot of work for you ,but it is beautiful. It will never be out of style.

[@kerrykuss642]

I'm all about sea shells. I have used them in all kinds of art and crafts since the 70's. So, my favorite rope is the shell rope, though I don't plan on drilling hundreds of them to make one of my own.

[@jannibal9273]

Let me first say that I couldn't do what you do in a million years. I don't have the vision, although I could try and copy - but more importantly, I don't have the patience! My favorite was the little drawer piece you put together with the Dollar Tree drawers - they would be so handy to go just about anywhere to hold various things, on a wall in a bathroom, in a closet, on a kitchen countertop, to show up special pieces on a wall, etc.

[@lynn4834]

The eucalyptus project was unquestionably my favorite!

[@donnadozier4294]

You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! I'm just blown away! I think the reason we won't pay those big store prices because we know how to craft it. I think that's why we see so many of those pieces in thrift stores and Goodwills. They can afford it. I say lucky us so we can buy it at a much lower price. Lol Love your projects! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CanterburyCottage]

Donna, you are right. Sometimes, when I am shopping with my sister-in-law, she will consider buying things that are so easy to DIY. I have to stop her, and tell her that we can make that for a dollar or two!

[@cherylparish1375]

Love the old door! There is something so sweet about that chippy red paint and handle! And the wall cubby came out so well!!!! So many great tips on this video! Thanks for sharing!

I'd have to keep that vase too. Loved the cubby boxes you did. I may have to try that.

[@CanterburyCottage]

The wall cubby was easy to make. You could even make it just using wood glue and no nails. You just have to find the DT trays!

[@MamaT160]

Oh my goodness, another genius set of crafts even better than the high end originals! The prices of the originals were shocking. Even if I could afford to buy things for top dollar, I wouldn't. The retail markup is appalling. Your work is beautiful and inspiring.

[@debnordstrom7681]
