[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To your original question, OP - yes, yes you can. In fact, I accidentally have it. Someone walked into my condo and noted how Pottery Barn it looked. I literally do not have one single thing from PB, although I did have a couple of things from Williams-Sonoma Home, so close enough I guess.[/quote]

Ha. This has happened to me a few times over the years.  People have mentioned PB or CB as my "style".  And like the pp not a damned thing is from either store.  However I am 50.  I have been traveling, shopping antiques and flea markets, art shows, and inheriting things for quite a few years.  Yes years ago when starting out I bought decor items at furniture stores but those items were donated long ago.  Now I keep and display what I like and everything means something to me or my husband.  Funky items that were actually purchased by us in a market in Spain or Morocco or somewhere in the Middle East (being military we get around!).  Old rugs. New upholstered pieces mixed with old wood cabinets and tables.

If that's "Pottery Barn" then you need to get out more.  I remember seeing similar rooms in 'Architectural Digest' back in the 80's.[/quote]
