Anthropologie For Less!

Hey there!  I’m so excited to share my new Anthropologie Inspired Printers Cabinet!

Vintage CabinetI was smitten with the Anthropologie original I spotted but at a whopping $1,698.00, I knew that I needed to enlist the help of our very talented friend, Ana White to design something similar!

Here are the steps I took to build this baby, with Purebond Plywood, for $200 ~ INCLUDING hinges and pulls!

Purebond Plywood

Frame constructed.  I chose a sheet of 3/4″ Purebond in Birch for the entire frame.  I had the nice guys at Home Depot rip the boards down for me which made it much easier to fit into my SUV and cut once I got them home!  We shared why we have pledged to build with Purebond HERE.

Pocket Hole System

Of course, Kreg made a huge appearance in this post!  From the frame to the trim, every screw is hidden thanks to my Kreg Jig!

I LOVE these hinges!  I also installed them in my Pottery Barn Inspired Media Console.  You can get them at Home Depot for $3 per set.  They are very strong and easy to install!

Rust-Oleum Stain

This is the stain I used on this piece! Rust-Oleum Ultimate Wood Stain in Early American.

The color is a new Shanty favorite!  You can find it at Lowe’s.  We also used it on our Shanty Hall Tree Bench!

I found these great pulls on Amazon for $2.38 each!  I also got a discounted shipping rate for purchasing 12 ~ whoop!!

  1. Beautiful work! Working through it now… One question: your wood looks wonderfully distressed. What wood did you buy? Common board pine? Something else?
    Trying with common board now, just curious and it seems like a great project with reclaimed wood too.

  2. Why does this stain look so different from the stain used on the Pottery Barn inspired island y’all did in Early American by Rust-Oleum? I’m guessing it’s the lighting?

  3. LOVE!!! Just saw this on your instagram post. We don’t have PUREBOND in Boise…will regular ol’ plywood be ok or is it going to look like junk?

  4. Good morning – I’m wondering how many coats of stain you applied, and if the pictures reflect it’s true finished color.
    Thank you Ashley!

    1. Hi Jeni,
      I applied 1 and yes! I did not alter the color of the photo so this is true to color. Thanks!

  5. How did you attach the faux drawer 1×4 and 1×2’s together? Do they just attach to the 1×3’s and thats it? No nailing or gluing each other?
