Furniture - Buy Handmade

When I'm ready to buy a piece of furniture, I used to go to a furniture store and buy a piece made on an assembly line. But now that I have found the Design Style Guide I know now that I will want to buy handmade.

All I did was go to Etsy.com and searched "interiordesignteam" furniture and I found so many lovely pieces of furniture. Just take a look a few of my favorite finds! (click the picture to see these Etsy shops!)

SewDanish: Danish Scandinavian Textile Art

Oh my! I am so excited to introduce Birgitte to you! She is an amazing textile artist and shop owner of SewDanish. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw this beautiful coiled woven bowl made of fabric. Of course I immediately checked out the rest of the shop. Among other cool finds was a vintage cloth journal cover made from a vintage hand embroidered tablecloth and a small flower pouch bag made of corduroy and velvet flowers.

You definitely need to jump on over to http://www.sewdanish.etsy.com/ and see what she has. There are so many gift ideas flowing from this shop! And then when you're done there, I suggest going to http://omshantihandcrafts.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/an-interview-with-birgitte-of-sew-danish/ to read all about Birgitte and her work. Amazing work Birgitte!
