"Design Happens"

Have you ever browsed through Designers Portfolio and thought to yourself, “I love these rooms, but where can I find that lamp? My local Target just doesn’t carry things like that!” Well fret no longer — Etsy is here to rescue you from the mundane world of big-box retailers. If you’re not familiar with Etsy here’s how they describe themselves.

Our mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers. Our vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice:
Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

This week Etsy featured several rooms from HGTV’s Designer’s Portfolio in their Get The Look: Decor series. Taking inspiration from a designer’s room, Etsy has hand-selected some amazing vintage furniture and handmade decor accents. Have a modern living room? Check out these Stacked Plywood Nesting End Tables. Got a contemporary kitchen? These one-of-a-kind Shade Pendants are a must! For more modern inspiration, check out all of Etsy’s selections.

We’re already feeling the Etsy love in the comments area. Are you an Etsy user? Do you have your own Etsy shop? Let us know!
