So simple. So sweet. We love everything modern Etsy user How Now Design is getting into.
I got a lovely email from an Etsy folk yesterday pointing me in the direction of one of their Etsy How-Tuesday videos. (I didn’t even know they made videos! What a bad blogger I am!) Just in time for Mother’s Day is a perfect, kid-friendly, gorgeous, Mid-Century Modern-inspired bird mobile — Continue reading
I love Pussy Willows and Forsythia, having grown up in eastern Pennsylvania, these two spring branch (flowering) plants were spring bouquet staples. This week, it’s all pussy willows or as they are also known Mgambo seeds. I saw these earrings online and thought… DIY! (So if any of you decide — Continue reading
Yesterday we wrote a post for Apartment Therapy about how we’ve been spotting honeycombs and hexagons everywhere. Not just in interiors, either, but in fashion, too. This doesn’t mean we love triangles any less, but we enjoy branching out into the geometric world a bit. Here are some inspiring photos — Continue reading
In honor of that new collaboration between Lonny Mag and Traditional Home, TRADhome, we thought we’d showcase a type of item that has a decidedly traditional-feel, but works wonders in modern homes: fabulous milk glass accessories. Made of a creamy, fresh-as-spring, white glass, these accessories often have darling little details–bumps, — Continue reading
Because the perfect accessory for a modern home is a brightly colored small animal figurine. Even better if said brightly-colored figurines are colored in different sections. Think animal statues are for kids or strict collectors? Not so with these accessible designs. Sometimes you need a little fun and levity in — Continue reading
Math and geometry never were our strong suit in school, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love seeing and wearing the shapes whose sides needed measuring that tormented us for years. What does this post have to do with interiors you ask? You know, there are triangles and stuff in — Continue reading
Perhaps the greatest thing about DIY projects, besides that great feeling you get after a job well done, is the ability to completely customize a project to fit your exact functional and aesthetics needs. Not everyone is super skilled with bandsaws and screwdrivers, though. If you have some custom needs — Continue reading
1980s what what! We love the original ceramic designs of Etsy store Shoshona Snow Ceramics. We love the graphic pops of color, black and white patterns that are very vibrant and the fun and functional shapes. It’s true these cross over a bit into a folk art category, but we — Continue reading
We are totally into the Etsy store Paint Square. They feature made to order, customize your own, Mid-Century Modern, lots of different sized, original framed wood sculpture art. They are turning wood scraps into one-of-a-kind, handmade, framed, ready-to-display pieces of art. They are a couple “whose mutual interests in all — Continue reading
The sweet, simple, far out, retro, modern tea towels, pillows and prints of Leah Duncan are seriously putting a bright spot on our day.
Ever dream of turning your house into a living replica of the offices of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce? Well with this brightly-colored and business-minded Etsy shop we discovered today, you sure could. Joe Vintage, are you sure your first name is Joe, and not Don? You’ll find all kinds of — Continue reading
Most of the time we focus on really retro Etsy stores full of fun Mid-Century Modern furniture pieces, accessories, textiles and art. But, occasionally we come across an Etsy store with a bit of a more contemporary, modern twist, and we have to share. Decoylab is really pulling out all — Continue reading
Who doesn’t like when things in your life come or go gradually? Sure spontaneity is nice, but so is the chance to get used to something before it hits you over the head all at once. Ombre, or that subtle, soft, and gradual pattern that starts with a light color — Continue reading
Whatever the size of your home city, chances are there’s a way to get out of the habit of always taking a car, and that’s the wonderful invention of the bicycle. Perfect for ages, perfect for enjoying the weather on a nice day, and practically incapable of polluting the earth, — Continue reading
We usually stay away from Etsy stores that only sell tchotchkes–just little items that are retro yes, but stylish no. Today’s Modern Etsy focus, Retroburgh, is a bit of an exception. Besides sounding like a really cool vintage-focused town in Ohio, they sell a lot of fun and kitschy tchotchkes that — Continue reading
Square. Dweeb. Total downer. Why would you want to be called any of these things? We all want to be cool, hip and the life of the party. To be told “don’t be a square” is basically implying you just aren’t with it. But, the term square also means someone — Continue reading
We’re not sure how to pronounce today’s Modern Etsy store focus, but luckily Hinkdvik also speaks the language of awesome home decor accessories, which we are quite fluent in. We hope to have many, many more conversations with this Etsy store. There’s just something so soft, lovely and caring about — Continue reading
With all the unsolicited advice aimed at you throughout the day, it can hardly seem like you’d want more advice coming from the direction of say, your furniture. You may remember that we’ve shown respect for advice in the form of prints and art for walls. Today’s post is all — Continue reading
We’re completely in love with these wooden apple boxes and accessories from Etsy store Miss Natalie. We like the patterns, the colors–the natural feel to them. The fact that you can put little things in it. What we would put in these boxes we haven’t quite figured out yet, but — Continue reading
