This weeks DIY Crush: Pottery Barn Inspired Home Office

Every once in a while, I meet a blog friend who not only shares my passion for do-it-yourself, but we share the same style and design ideas as well. Meet: Beth from

Unskinny Boppy

Discard that inspiring Pottery Barn inspiration and be prepared to replace it with an Unskinny Boppy rustic home office drool-worthy inspiration:

The goals for Beth’s home office were to 1.) Shop from her own house and try not to buy much. and 2.) Make it 100% “Beth”. She let herself run free with this room. Whatever she wanted to do, she did it.

Like a lot of us, Beth loves Pottery Barn’s rustic style. She wanted to incorporate a lot of that look into this room without the price tag. She did an amazing job working with what she already owned and a few new pieces too.

Beth had a blast designing a room filled with her collections, things that had personal meaning to her and reflected her style.

She started with a horizontal striped wall. A beautiful beginning point.

And here it is now! Lots of updates in a few months!

One of the few things that Beth purchased for this room was this pretty patterned chair at the Stacks Furniture going out of business sale.

There’s so many interesting details and she pulls it all together in a beautiful “after”. A pretty and creative work space – great motivation for more of Beth’s amazing projects!

The window seat got a mini facelift with a new curtain rod, a new pillow and some starfish that Beth bought at the beach a few weeks back.

This would be one of my favorite places to daydream…

The old ladder came from Mr. Unskinny Boppy’s granny’s boathouse. It was his grandfather’s ladder for many years, and it’s got a plenty of beautiful wear and tear on it that I just love. It’s perfect for this room.

Beth loves to fish (it’s in her blood and she married into a fishing family) so this space is a perfect reflection of a mix of her interests.

Beth added the scrolly iron plaque to the weathered wood for a less fru-fru look. Perfect!

Vintage crates – there’s so much charm in this room, isn’t there?
