I LOVE this vase (who wouldn't??)
I love everything about it. Size, color combo (especially the color combo) but I'm to
I lucked out because it's a great shape, and has nice flowers, but seriously? Pumpkin orange??? Don't worry, I fixed it.
Whew, better already. Primed and painted with the aqua color. At this point the vase itself is finished.
Then I hand painted the orange flowers with Gloss Enamel (found with the acrylic paints in the craft store). I mixed some red with some orange to get just the right color. Please pretend the mess in the background really isn't there.
And here it in it's new home. (Next to my new mercury glass chalkboard and my west elm knock off vase!)
Theirs
Mine
What's the verdict? Like it?
Happy autumn!
OMG!! So so cool! I love that Anthro vase and been wanting it since it came out. Your version turned out awesome! If I ever find a similar vase definitely will be trying this!

I'm heading down to the basement to get the vase I've been wanting to redo. Thanks for all of your lovely ideas and encouragements!!!
ReplyDeleteThis vase is great!! Can't wait to read more! New follower!!
ReplyDeleteAs a person who LOVES unique pottery, especially ones with fun vibrant colors that came that way on their own, I am sorry, but you RUINED it! I love USA pottery and a lot of the stuff you find at good will, is wonderful just the way it is. Anthropologie makes great vases, but theirs are new. Your vase could have been an old hand done vase and now it's no longer the unique style. I get what you were trying to do, but it's like when I find a beautiful piece of pottery and someone has colored on it or drilled a hole in the bottom. It's always so sad.
ReplyDeleteThe creativity and craftsmanship shine through, and I appreciate how you've shared a budget-friendly way to achieve such a chic look.

The Anthropologie knock-off vase blog is a testament to creative ingenuity. The idea of replicating a high-end piece with the potential to #UsePromos for materials is not only clever but also showcases resourceful elegance. This post beautifully demonstrates that crafting a stylish home doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag.
