Ever since we got the invitation to design collections with Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and Pottery Barn Teen, we’ve been on a roll. there are nine. For us, this wasn’t just about making furniture and decorating – it was about creating nostalgia-inspired heirlooms that grow with your family. Pieces that can fit into different stages of your life and your home, whether you’re in the nursery stage or retiring to the family pool house (dreams!).

Bringing “Modern Traditional” to the Pool: Inspiration
The timing could not have been more perfect. When we bought our North Carolina lake house last year, we started dreaming about lake house decor and furniture that went beyond the usual Americana or nautical vibes. We wanted something new, but also “traditional modern” like you’ve never seen before. These collections are the result of that inspiration, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on them.
- Old Antique Style Mirror: CLJ x PB Convex Mirror – I’ve been looking for one forever, and couldn’t find one that was the right size or look. Most were vintage and quickly caught. This one is coming home with me before it sells out!
- Wall-Mounted Heritage Dinner Bell: CLJ x PB Dinner Bell – If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know that we love (and use!) the dinner bell. This design is a nod to going to my grandparents house when I was little. The tradition continues!
- Modern Canopy Bed With Finials: CLJ x PB Canopy Bed – This is the dream of every little girl, now in a size and style that we can enjoy as adults!
- Traditional Gardeners: CLJ x PB outdoor collection – I ordered these for the yard. I can’t get enough of that traditional style that brings outdoor living.
- Pedestal Ball Stacked Table: CLJ x PB Extendable Dining Table – A a lot of thought and work went into the design of the “pile ball” of these table legs. It gives them that modern and traditional mix. Love the idea of gathering all our friends and family around this table.
- 7 Drawer Wardrobe: CLJ x PB Kids Scallop Dresser – Living up to the details of the dresser – turned out to be a work of art.
- Tight-Weave Rattan Table Lamp: CLJ x PB Kids Ruffle Lamp – The tight weave makes the lamp feel traditional, adding layers and texture to the room.
- Timeless Nursery Armoire: CLJ x PB Kids Wardrobe – Never love a wardrobe! They are a staple piece for any room, from the nursery to your linen closet. (Hint: we designed this versatile kids’ furniture to work in grown-up spaces too!)
- Plaid Swivel Nursery Glider: CLJ x PB Kids Gingham Glider – I love quilting patterns, and this glider is a wonderful way to do that in the nursery
- Heirloom Spindle Crib: CLJ x PB Kids Lakehouse 4-in-1 Crib – If one of my girls had been a child when we first got the lakehouse, I would have done anything for this bed and its beautiful details.
- Gingham Fabric Pinboard: CLJ x PB Teen No Nails Pinboard – We all wanted this as teenagers. Pins give them a canvas to add their personality to the room!
- Places to stay in Ruffle Gingham: CLJ x PB Teen Cabin Quilt – You will notice many gingham patterns in this collection. I love patterned blankets because they feel classic for any age, but ruffles add that dreamy romantic element!
- Vanity Desk with Exploded Storage: CLJ x PB Teen Scallop Vanity – This can be used to repair or craft. All my girls can use it differently, and that’s what makes it so versatile.
- Modern Iron Hook Rack: CLJ x PB Teen Hook Rack – I will never have enough hooks for my girls to hang backpacks, coats, and hats. This is a great way to keep things organized.
- Vintage-Style Metal Bed Frame: CLJ x PB Teen Iron Bed – I ordered two of these for the lakehouse. They are great for teenagers, but great for tourists too. Such an evergreen piece that evokes that traditional style home!
