In this Pottery Barn shop-with-me, I meander through the store and point out what’s actually a good value (yes—some things are as low as $10 and $11), plus the dupes I’d buy instead when the price is doing the most. I went in looking for specific pieces for a project—a console table and a side/drink table—so you’ll see me zoom in on details like finish, scale, and why certain materials (hello, glass) can make a tight walkway feel lighter instead of overcrowded. I share a design tip I use all the time: if you’re putting a console behind a sofa, plan for about 4 feet or more of clearance, and if you’re right around that mark, a glass console can reduce “design weight” and visually open the space. I also break down a few Pottery Barn favorites—like the oversized Crevette tray, my favorite embroidered pillow cover, and springy tabletop finds (bunny and butterfly appetizer plates, egg cups, faux florals). And because saving is kind of my love language, I show you budget-friendly alternatives from places like Amazon, Target (Studio McGee), and Michaels—so you can get the look without the splurge.
