I saw this Mackenzie Childs rabbit totem pole online for $1,200… and I just couldn’t justify that price. So I challenged myself to recreate a similar high-end decor piece using thrifted items and things I already had at home—and I’m honestly so happy with how it turned out!
In this video, I’ll show you how I transformed simple boxes, a table spindle, and a ceramic rabbit into a unique stacked totem that looks like designer garden decor. This is a great example of how you can take inexpensive or leftover items and turn them into something beautiful, custom, and high-end looking.
If you love thrift flips, DIY home decor, and finding creative ways to decorate on a budget, I think you’ll find some ideas you can use in your own home.
Let me know in the comments—would you pay $1,200 for the original, or would you try making your own?
