Suede and Hide Silhouette Art
By ModHomeEcTeacher
This silhouette art makes PB silhouettes look like child's play. (Whaaa?) Suede samples cut into silhouette of a boy and his Great Dane. The suede silhouettes were temporarily adhered to the fabric and then stitched on. The Great Dane hide pillow was made from scrap hide available at a leather store here in Indy and sewn onto white, remnant fabric with cotton velvet cording.

Urban steps it up a notch
By beccajoNew from Urban Outfitters, some mod furniture offerings!
The LULU chair, in a brown bird print or green leaf. $380 plus $80 shipping, not bad for less than $500!
Next up, Jonathan Adler knock offs (good ones at that!).
Super cute lamps! Owl, $24, and horse, $36.
I'd for sure go with a plain lampshade...although the birdies are cute, it'd be a little *too* much if you ask me.
And lastly....some Danish Modern Knockoffs!

From the Earth....
By beccajoIf you live in an area that's been populated for hundreds of years, you can't dig a hole in the ground without pulling up a pottery shard. It's a little more complicated than cooked mud, but really, it's not.
I grew up in a family that celebrated pottery, my mom and her bridesmaid/neighbor/my godmother taught ceramics to high schoolers, and my brother got a potter's wheel for his birthday when he was in high school.

Join the club
By beccajoI'm on about a billion and one e-mailing lists for various art, home dec, artist updates, and DIY groups.
If I don't feel like reading them, it's easy enough to dump 'em. But you never know when a treasure or a super good deal is going to show up in your inbox.
It's highly doubtful I'll ever be able to afford anything listed on 1stdibs but it's fun to (browser) window shop. Check out this birdcage lantern! Sweet!

Spotlight on: Old Time Pottery
By badbadivy
There might not be an Ikea close to me, but there is, fortunately, an Old Time Pottery. Old Time Pottery is a home decor store based in the South that has incredible prices on all kinds of home accessories.
For people designing on a very limited budget, this store is a Godsend. Their website is terrible, so it's hard to actually show you its fabulosity. Each store has 2 or more acres of stuff. They have an enormous floral department, home acces » READ MORE
Metro Retro Potter: Jonathan Adler
By beccajoI spent some time at the bookstore today, it's my home-away-from-home and favorite place to go when I am stressed. I grabbed this book by Jonathan Adler and read it almost all the way through. He is hilarious. And his pottery, textiles, and decorating style all are fantastic as well.
I had read his partner Simon Doonan's book a few years back and loved it, I recommend hunting down a copy if you can. His forward to the book gives the credit for » READ MORE
