DIY Faux Coral

Nothing gives your home personality quite like a few quirky accents.   Inspired by some faux coral from Pottery Barn but not so thrilled with the price tag, Beth from The Stories of A to Z set out to make her own.  The pricey PB coral starts at around $25 per piece on the “cheap” end of the spectrum and goes up to over $100.  To get the same look for a whole lot less, she took a trip down the pet supplies aisle and bought some fish tank decorations.  After a treatment with some glossy white paint, she ended up with a finished product that looks nearly identical to the designer version at a fraction of the cost.  Fill up a whole shelf with them and you could save enough cash to pay for a snorkeling trip and see some real coral!
