Today's knock off is such an easy one that I almost feel bad sharing it! I love to skim through the pottery barn catalog and website looking for inspiration and ideas. A while back I saw this cute little frame. I loved the idea of having a chalkboard frame to write cute little notes or doodles, but with a $40 price tag I knew I could make one myself for far less!
