I’m One Step Ahead of You, Pottery Barn

The other day my mom called me and told me to check out Pottery Barn’s new catalog.

I cheerfully obliged.

When I opened it up to the very first page, something familiar caught my eye.

Here let me show you……

Oh that’s right! Pottery Barn is using the exact same Hudsonville wire milk crates that I put in Hudson’s nursery months ago!

Totally patting myself on the back for being ahead of a Pottery Barn trend!!!!

I found these Hudsonville milk crates at an antique fair when I was pregnant and just had to have them. I knew at the time we were most likely naming our baby Hudson….and if we didn’t I figured they would still work in our nursery because Hudsonville Creamery is a local Michigan establishment.

Instead of storing old bottles in them like Pottery Barn, we use them on his changing table to store diapers, jammies, and burp clothes.

    I still positively swoon over Hudson's nursery! It's the perfect baby boy room that can grow with him as he grows. Way to be ahead of the trend! 🙂

    What an adorable nursery! I'd have to say I've always been really into chalkboards and chalkboard paint – they seem to have really taken off in the past year or two.

    Don't you kinda love that feeling! I had something similar happen with the Land of Nod catalog. Can't remember where I bought the art print from (for $30) and then they were selling it for around $80! Which reminds me I really need to frame it and hang it up…

    I wouldn't be surprised if someone who works for PB reads your blog and decided that should be the new trend. I always love your décor and especially love Hudson’s nursery!!
