I paid a visit today to my Pottery Barn store for some home decor inspiration. I love to change up the look of my home without spending any $$. But I do appreciate some expert inspirtion. I have several go to sources, as I see you all do too. I think we can all agree Pottery Barn is one of our favorites!
I saw this table and fell IN LOVE.
And then I realized why I love it so.......I have a similar table at home. It was made from an old beveled glass window with original hardware that was at my mother's horse barn. I couldn't stand for something to happen to it. My mother brought it home to me and we commissioned the help of a carpenter friend with our vision to create a shadow box table.
After the table was built, I filled it with some of my beach treasures, each attached with memories of beach combing and family hikes with my family.While my table currently lacks dividers like Pottery Barn's, I am happy with it's look.
And......the table as well as it's contents-all FREE!!
What's not to love?
Tablescape Thursday
Now, onto to Tablescape Thursday, which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.
I mentioned my trip to Pottery Barn was to inspire me. I got just that in their beach inspired tablescape. It says SUMMER. And I LOVE it!
Everything on the table can be found at Pottery Barn....or other bargain stores if you just keep your eyes open!

Thanks for hosting the party again. I think the table looks great.
I have been wanting a shadow box table for twenty years. They had them everywhere in the late 80's in cherry. We remodeled our house 2 years ago and I have been looking high and low for one. When I saw the cover of Pottery Barn's summer catalog and I ordered it right away (and cruised their website for 4 hours). Love your table! It looks fantastic with treasures in it. So pretty!
I also love to visit Pottery Barn for inspiration. Love the table you created and filled with shells. Thanks for hosting Thrifty Thursdays!
Your table is fantastic and the fact that it was free is even better. Thanks for hosting the party, my favourite type of party.
Cool shadow box tables - - - both of them. However, it is TRES COOL thst you have your mom's window as your table top!!!
I love that table, and your version of it too! Your price was great!
Thanks for hosting this party. It's been a couple of week and I am happy to be back and joining!!!! :-)
Thanks for hosting! I absolutely love that shadowbox table. Great idea!
Pretty display in your mom's precious table and I love your tablescape too, Leigh...Christine
Really like your shadow box table. I remember when Bombay Co. had them and I wanted one, but they were out of my budget back then.
Thanks for hosting again this week. :)
I LOVE that table! That old window on top is so cool!
Shadow box tables are so much fun. You can change out the contents any time you get bored with the look.
Your tablescape is so colorful and earthy. It, too, exudes fun.
I would love to have you stop by the cottage and enter my giveaway of vintage goodies.

LOVE that table filled with beach treasures. How fun!
Thanks for hosting such a great party! : )
Beautiful table, of course and that end table is awesome with all it's free stuff!
How great that you came home and found out you already had a workable table! :) I love it when things like that happen!
Your table is looking wonderful Leigh. I thought of you at a recent estate sale where the man had huge collections of shells, driftwood and hundreds of bottles of sand and ash from beaches and volcanoes all around the world. I did pick up some pretty driftwood and shells to put in a glass cookie jar this summer.
Hugs,
Dawn
I like your table better, it has more personality!

Wow! I absolutely LOVE that table! It's so beautiful! Want to come make one for our house?
Thanks for sharing such a great idea - I'll have to keep it in mind for when I find a suitable table!
Just love all the display tables that I've seen (and posted) so far..., and more to come including this pottery barn one, awesome..., and so neat that you found one in your own home!!
Mmmmm... can not wait to savor ALL the great Thrifty Thursdays links..love it!
I had a feeling my comment went Poof! I was commenting from my blackberry yesterday and I had a feeling it was all in vain lol
I have been dreaming of that Pottery Barn table in my house (I'd have to buy a new house to put it in though!) but I also think that something small like you did is awesome.
I love to take my camera to PB - they have such cool stuff.
