Get The Look with Etsy & HGTV

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.

Big_Etsy_Logo_SmallOur 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!

BlueCrushBeads: Everything is gorgeous!! HGTV is one of my favorite channels to watch.

  17. I checked out Etsy and loved it. My little creation is not camera ready just yet and I need to build a website. It will all happen in time. There are just a few budget constraints, but I'm looking forward to selling my homemade item online. I think there is a need for my handmade item and for many people and this may just be the avenue that I need to start on. Thanks HGTV!

  28. Love the Blogs and Love HGTV for many years and found Etsy last year and love it too! I am an Interior Designer in Atlanta, GA, a member of ASID GA chapter and sit on the Residential Round Table Committee. Our committee has used HGTV shows for topics at our meetings. I have been in about 6 major show houses in ATL over the last 6 years and would LOVE to be a FEATURED Designer on any HGTV show. I was contacted through ASID 2-1/2 yr's ago for a test but was about to have baby #2 so it was bad timing. Would love you to contact me. My Contact Info is:

  29. Two of my top addictions mentioned in one article…Etsy and HGTV! I like the way Etsy is set up so that you can search for local crafters/artists in your immediate area and support them. Many are available to do custom orders if you have a special request. Special finds and handmade treasures await you at Etsy!

    Feel free to visit a store with unique decor for your home and person at:
