Knock it off.

I recently came across the Knock Off Decor site and thought it offered great inspiration for those who like to decorate on a budget - like me!  Although, I'm not sure I am nearly this crafty.  Regardless, this site links up to blogs with play by play tutorials on how to achieve these looks.  They have copy cat creations of lots of big name stores like Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Ballard Designs, and Restoration Hardware, to name a few.

Here are some examples of ones that I'd like to consider trying sometime if the mood strikes.  In a few instances I truly like the copy better than the original.
