Pottery Barn Dupe | Thrifted Lamps Makeover | Look For Less

[@DesertDIY]

What do you think? Did I nail the look for less? Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. Have a wonderful day everyone !

[@niniandsunny1353]

Lol exactly what I was going to say...you nailed it!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!!!!

[@MotoMeemaw]

Amazing! May i share a new idea I read about for a more textured finish? It’s adding sand to the acrylic paint for that texture the PB lamps had. Yours were still super with the shading/blending texture tho!

[@DesertDIY]

@@MotoMeemaw very cool idea! I have heard of adding salt also. I will have to try that in the future

[@SouthernMama2five]

So...you've been holding out on us. I see your talents extend beyond fancying up just furniture. 😊

[@kathryntrapman3917]

Gorgeous,they look better then pottery barn, very high end look. Great job......

[@cjay233]

You rocked those!!!!! Even though this is three years old, If I found lamps like this now, I would do the same. Elegant.

[@sharontate6625]

I actually think these lamps look better than the pottery barn ones. They are so elegant.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Sharon!

[@patriciareeps3389]

Great job. They look even better then the Pottery. Barn ones

[@DesertDIY]

Wow thank you so much Patricia

[@ruthselden8637]

They look as good as the originals from Pottery Barn

[@anthonyshurburn7560]

Absolutely beautiful work. I prefer yours to the Pottery Barn lamps. I actually took a screenshot of the finished lamps. I'm going to try to do this.

[@joannetavano4402]

Wonderful! I love when you can get the “same” look for a fraction of the price...great job!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Joanne, me too. It means that we can obtain a look we love no matter what financial bracket we occupy.

[@tamiz8895]

Very classy, high-end result

[@danacantrell9758]

Awesome job! I love them they're almost spot on to the original wow!!!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Dana

[@gwenwade6059]

Uber stylish. I would love you to keep track of the time each project takes. Drying time. Shopping for supplies. Setting up. Clean ups. Clothing and safety gear cleaning and storage.

[@Sue-qn7od]

Wow I think you did an amazing job. They look better than pottery barn.

[@gwyn192]

Good morning from another desert dweller! I had no plans to revamp-my-lamp this morning. But then your mock P.Barn lamp inspired me! It took me 10 minutes to transform my lamp and it's just what it needed. Thank you!!!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you. This is the best news I've heard today. You made my day. So exciting!!!

[@Gail49]

Great job so close to pottery barn lamps

[@nooncactus]

They look fantastic! Enjoy them. 🌺❤️🌺

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you. Every time I walk by them I want to do a little happy dance

[@6wasuri2]

Taste maker results. Your lamps turned out more upscale looking for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow thank you Kenya!!!

[@evazilcaiova9940]

Beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Slovakia.

[@daveh9521]

Sadly, most people don't think they're handy enough, or capable of a project like this. I'm an artist (painter, former illustrator) by trade, but I can't begin to count the thousands of repair/restore/ or fabrication projects I've done in my small cellar workshop. As a gallery artist, I also run an Etsy antiques store, and I'm always fixing up something from the auction. Your lamp facelift is the perfect choice to show people that just about anyone can do this. This is the thing that opens the mental doors for people!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Dave! I feel the same way. I have so many friends that say "I could never do that" and I show them the video and they say "oh wow thats not as hard as I thought". I have hopes that my videos are helping keep more usable items out of the dump. Very cool that you do illustrations!

[@daveh9521]

@@DesertDIY Oh yes! 'Not as hard as I thought' is the real change in people. Many years ago now, I stood in a store looking at stained glass shades. I wanted one over the stove in my old studio. I studied them and wondered..how hard can this be?' I'm not an illustrator anymore; today I paint for a couple galleries (click on avatar - "Renaissance Rabbit"...)

[@laurabyers5172]

Wow just wow. Eye popping for sure. I love them =) what great decor pieces...

[@diannerempel8262]

These lamps look amazing...and such a great price! I love the look for less!

[@reeniewillgrubs9146]

You totally rocked it and I'm a Pottery Barn style gal myself but yours I liked better!!

[@KaysCreativeHome]

These lamps are beautiful. It is kind of funny that you found 3 layers of paint underneath. Thanks for co-hosting.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Kay. Thats part of the fun of these pieces is finding their history

[@tybliss2789]

These were the exact Pottery Barn lamps I was trying to justify spending a fortune on! Lucky me...I found your DIY site first! Now I'm on a mission for similar lamp bases. Thank you so much!!!

[@ladonnajohnson8945]

Those are sooo pretty and stylish. I could do that.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you LaDonna. I know you could do it!

[@deidrecassidy9465]

Totally nailed it. I’m going to try this fingers crossed.

[@marywest2896]

girl you nailed that look to the barn door!!!! so pretty, i love them. you do these dupes so well.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Mary

[@jjackson9953]

Girl you ate that up!

[@sammiewilliams7967]

Beautiful results! Thank you.

[@yrenecedeno2177]

I did the same!!! I got me a gorgeous one from goodwill and re-did it but in gold and Chinoiserie decopage paper and honey, IT IS AMAZING!!!👏🏼👏🏼😌

[@DesertDIY]

That sounds gorgeous. Where'd you get the paper?

[@margieberget4350]

I love how your lamps turned out.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Margie

[@karenhelm3978]

Beautiful, and really those lamps were very nicely made.... perfect update

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Karen

[@sherrybrown6082]

Looks fantastic! I did a Pottery Barn dupe on a lamp earlier this summer on a hunter green ginger jam lamp that I have had for more than 25 years. The Pottery Barn lamps were dark earthy colors with a clay like rough texture. After priming I used wall spackling and dabbed it on with a paintbrush. Then layers of earthy colored paints until I achieved the look I wanted. I love it and like your dupe, the originals were $400! So satisfying to get a look you love for less. Love your channel

[@DesertDIY]

I love those lamps like you are describing. I have been wanting to try the spackled clay look too

[@JustMe-tk2rp]

Amazing dupe and very good instructions. Score on the lamp shades!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!!!!

[@lindafrench4670]

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Kai. I feel that same way

[@theiiimmmsss]

How prefessional your work is. They became more beautifull than the expensive ones. Can you make a film about how to renovate a lamp shade?

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! I have 2 lamp shade makeover videos in my trash to treasure playlist

[@kimjensen9967]

I like your lamps more than the pottery barn lamps. Beautiful job!

[@DesertDIY]

[@Boniter1959]

I am heading to Goodwill in the morning! I am so inspired! Will be starting small and working my way up to something larger. Or should I say, when I get brave enough to tackle a large project. LOL! Love your lamps!

[@DesertDIY]

Oh yay I am so excited for you!

[@lindathompson9334]

Thank you for watching Anne

[@alisoneichler4257]

How timely! We are downsizing and will have to replace quite a few pieces of furniture. I’m moving the bedside tables from the MBR to the guest room but need appropriate lamps. I have had two lamps in the family room for 17 years and I have never liked them! Now I know I can paint them and will be so much happier with them In the future!

[@DesertDIY]

I love when coincidences like these happen! I cant wait to hear how they turn out!

[@suemount6042]

[@SouthernMama2five]

I LOVE good lighting. I think it's the easiest way to add style to a space. You would be hard pressed to find a pair of lamps at HomeGoods/TJMaxx for $46. But lamps like yours? Stunning!!!
