White - such a pure, fresh and calming color...Why would you not want to use it everywhere?!

Interesting minimalism is a hard thing to achieve these days. Here are some people who do this fantastically & beautifully...& (most importantly) at an affordable price!

Paloma's Nest is a fellow etsian who's simple designs make bold statements; announcing babies, wedding anniversaries, and exclamations of love on doves and eggs.

Branch Handmade is a home and fashion accessories line that focuses on hand screen printed designs. If their stuff looks familiar its because their motorcycle throw pillow was featured on Friago last November!

Show your love of motorcycles, bikes, or anything nautical or antique around your home (or on your long legs!) in a lovely way....

Sarah Seven is inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour, pearls, recycled fabrics, romance, nature, & lace....Check out her beautiful designs:

Home is what you make it, right? So why not make it fabulous like the person who lives there! If you entertain and have dinner parties or family gatherings, then you know how much pressure it is to have a nicely decorated home. It's a pretty good feeling when someone says, "wow - I've never seen something like that. Where did you get it?" Oh, the beauty of handmade!

For fine art Amygiacomelli has breath taking paintings that would make any house look gorgeous! The one I chose, Eternal Sunshine, is 2 - 56 x 22 panels of acrylic on canvas. Stunning! Check out here shop, I'm not her only fan. Her shop has gotten 5,296 hearts (5,297 with me!)....One of the more creative housewares picks is a super unique and pretty bicycle clock that you can find at 1byliz. For the lover of all thing earthy and eco-chic the peaches and cream bowl is perfect & beautiful to look at. Check out more eco-chic products at earthmamahyde

If you ever want to give your kitchen a quick little sprucing up, check out these awesome drawer pulls from joanjewels or these super pretty and unique frige magnets by ksickles....As soon as I saw this next pick, I thought it was such an original and controversial idea (who doesn't love controvesial?!). Reneessoap sells cannabis scented incense. There's a product out there for everyone! Check out her hippie hemp bars and cotton candy soap!...From the kitchen to the living room, or anywhere that has decent furniture, you need...coasters! Check out these super fun coasters, from carolinacottage that I think are soooo irresistable, I might have to purchase them myself. ;)

One of my personal favorites from the housewares picks is the minimal and stunning designs of baileydoesntbark. Her designs are sophisticated and simple and can proudly be displayed in a kitchen as art pieces....I am secretly, well maybe not so secretly, a photography buff! Which means I have pictures all over my house....in frames. I adore funwallart's frames! They have a shabby chic and sometimes European flare to them without crossing over to the "too-ornate-and-cheesy" side. Visit her shop! She also has cute keepsake boxes and tins....

Not exactly for a pillow fight, the motorcycle print throw pillow cover, is the adult version of a fun pillow. Super chic and simple, branchhandmade knows how to provide an original piece for the original home! 

And on a last note, of course, be sure  to shop handmade this holiday season!

I've blogged about wall decals before but Dalidecals is not only a fellow Etsy Store, but also a fellow Floridian! Their decals are simple but gorgeous, not to mention FUN! I am an admitted paint fanatic, (my walls have been just about every color imaginable) but sometimes just painting a wall isn't good enough. These decals can spruce up any boring old room. A library, kitchen, childs room, even a romantic bedroom! DaliDecals have a wide variety of designs to choose from. Check em' out! ($25-$100 Not bad!)

Had the pleasure of being in an Etsy chat room with the lovely Barefoot Bath and Body............Soooo I checked out her yummy and gorgeous soaps and lip balms, made from her own recipes!  Might have to order some for the holidays...don't forget those suckers (holidays) are right around the corner! ;)

Fawn and Forest is a retailer of modern baby and eco friendly children's products, but I've found some stuff on their site that is great for grown ups too! I dont even have kids and navigating through their website made me want to have a few of my own. ;) They have some great wall decals, furniture, clothing and more......The decals are my favorite!

Inspired by the Chicago landscape her ceramic pieces are simple, beautiful and you can get them at very reasonable prices ranging from $12-$72.

How can you beat something that is both nice to look at and eco-friendly?! This mirror is made from recycled iron sheet packaging. If you take a close look you can see packaging from an olive oil company & a balinese soda can! Each piece is unique and CB2 also carries a cute matching serving tray. ($99.95)
