Some of My Favorites from the Knock Off Knock Out Party- Horchow, J Crew or CAbi Muse and Ballard Design


It's been a busy day. I meant to have these up earlier today, but as many of you Moms can relate-stuff happens throughout the day and you get pulled in one direction and then another.

We had some AMAZING posts. I am excited to show you some of these KNOCK OFFS-everyone of them are great but I picked a few to showcase today.

Britt did a DIY chandelier tutorial that you will want to go check out. She did a KNOCK OFF of a $350.00 Horchow chandelier and her KNOCK OUT only cost @ $35.00
I pulled up the Horchow lamp:

and here is Britt's KNOCK OUT:


Jennifer from Hope Studios did a tutorial on how to do a KNOCK OFF
J Crew or CAbi Muse t-shirt.

CAbi Muse:

and here is Jenn's $10 KNOCK OUT:


Traci from Beneath My Heart and her talented hubby are one creative pair. Traci presented her KNOCK OFF cafe-style shelves. She was inspired by Ballard Designs ranging from $99.00-$139.00. They have several different ones in their catalog but here was one of the ones she liked:

and here is their KNOCK OUT for under $50.00:



Everyone presented such amazing projects. I loved them all. Please go check out each person's projects from Monday's KNOCK OFF KNOCK OUT party and leave them an encouraging word and thank them for presenting their projects. I was personally inspired by them all. I hope they all come back and present more of their talented ideas. I am working on a button that says "I was featured on Its So Very Cheri's KNOCK OFF KNOCK OUT party" for you to post on your blogs.

  7. Hi Cheri,
    I'm intrigued with your "knock off" party concept. I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with an idea for a post. Thanks for the nice comment you left and for inviting me to stop by. Hope the rest of your week goes well!

  12. Okay, this won't be hard for me. I have many high end interior design knock offs in my house. I'm working on one as I type. I shall play. I'll have a couple Mondays worth. In my biz even at wholesale, casegoods(everything but upholstery ie dressers, tables, beds etc) can be out of sight. When you desire Cristal on a Veuve Cliquot budget, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...
    BTW thanks for the visit, do come back

  13. Awww, thanks for featuring my project, Cheri! That's so cool! To answer your question, the lamp base is from Target. It was right around $30. I've seen similar ones at JC Penney, Home Goods, and other places, though. Thanks again!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading each and every comment. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I wish I could sit and chat with each of you face to face, sipping on an ice cold lemonade (in the hotter months) or a nice hot cup of coffee (in the colder months), getting to know each other but this is fun too.
