How do you all feel about “industrial chic” style? I could pretty much move into any of these rooms even though I generally prefer things to be a little more delicate.

Warm woods and soft textures do effectively tone down hard-core industrial spaces. While I’ve never really embraced this style, I do sometimes find myself drawn to industrial-type lamps and accessories. If you type “industrial chic” into the search bar on Etsy or Pinterest, you’ll get pages upon pages of industrial items and ideas. Here are some from Etsy that I found interesting:
vintage industrial pendant light, $215
New York water tower print, $29
L-shaped desk, $2087
vintage molds, $15
vintage door knob & hardware, $35
shelving unit, $2384
So, tell me, what’s your take on this approach to design?
Like many of you (I’m sure), I think one of the coolest online shopping sites is Etsy. It has grown incredibly over the last decade and it’s definitely one of my go-to spots if I’m looking for something really unique – vintage or handmade. We are now seeing some Etsy sellers moving offline and into stores like Chapters-Indigo and West Elm, and I have no doubt that these types of collaborations are going to continue.
Etsy is also a company that supports – and wants to work with – bloggers. One of the ways that it works with bloggers is through its affiliate program. I’ve known about the program for quite some time, but I only recently (um, this past weekend), pulled up my blogger socks and got my Etsy act together. This is why you now see the Etsy ad on my sidebar (well, would ya look at that!), and you’ll see me featuring Etsy items every now and again on the blog. Heck, I regularly featured Etsy in my posts sans the affiliate program, so you’re likely not going to even notice a difference in my posts. I just thought I’d let you know that I’m now embracing my Etsy affiliate membership.
So, let’s get to some cool Etsy sellers and products, shall we? Here are my latest faves in the categories of design, art, and fashion…
