Don’t pay $50 …when you could pay $18…

rope

$8 worth of nautical rope from the hardware store…plus a large vase from TJMaxx for $10. This really doesn’t even deserve a post…but heck…maybe you will be inspired to make one too ;) I was inspired by Potterybarn’s current catalog. I love all the roping and sand and beach scenes…dreamy ;) So I set out to create the look (at least the roping part)….for less. I succeeded…and you can too…

  4. Tracie-this is such a great idea & super inexpensive to achieve the look that so many retailers are putting out there for summer! I have a new coffee table I just bought from iKEA with a glass top (http://gillianluce.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-trip-to-maryland.html) and putting some rope like this in one of the squares would look great with my shells & Coastal Living Magazines. :) Thanks for sharing!!
