DIY Cubby Organizer - Pottery Barn inspired wooden cubby. Great for organizing kitchen items, office supplies and displaying your favorite finds.
Hello there! Today I am sharing how I transformed a $5 old and outdated wooden cubby that I bought at an auction and turned into a Pottery Barn inspired DIY Cubby Organizer for a fraction of the cost. With just a few simple supplies and steps, you can turn a garage sale find into an expensive looking piece of furniture.
The inspiration for this DIY cubby organizer transformation came from Pottery Barn's cubby organizer pictured above. I have had this Pottery Barn piece saved on my Pinterest board for months now. I just LOVE it, but not the price. The original price of the Pottery Barn's cubby organizer which is crafted of solid mahogany and hand distressed and stained was $206. Glup! There's no way I would ever pay that much. So, when a pine cubby came up at an auction, I placed a bid and was the highest bidder at $5. I knew that I could transform that $5 pine cubby into a Pottery Barn inspired piece.
Here is the pine cubby I bought at the auction for $5. It was in pretty good shape. There were just a few dings and marker markings, but that was easily cleaned by using a magic eraser.
Here are the supplies I used:

I love auction and we don't have many out here on the west coast like we had in IN. so I miss them. What fun they are. I once went and got a van load for under 10.00 put it all to good use. Well actually 30 I had to out bid this guy on a antique trike that held plants. It was 20.00 he just wouldn't back down on this one.
