etsy is essentially a craft site. craft has always tended to stray towards cutesy.

much of the stuff on etsy makes me want to puke. i think the ant idea is great, however.

if you don't like it - go make yourself a cup of chamomile tea with your non-dated china instead.

done great with a small space. some really beautiful details. i like the turquoise wall colour.

one piece of unsolicited advice - i think the dark brown floor rug in the bedroom is dragging the space down...i would rethink it.

what's with all the dramatics when it comes to fur? i don't see people throwing red paint on me when i'm at the butchers or purchasing some new leather shoes...but when it's fur people go ballistic.

perhaps because it's so literal? i'm not sure.

get your vegan on if you hate it.

i live in australia so i'm an outsider commenting.

i'm inclined to agree with theo and brandyjane.

if i was into displaying my politics so boldly in my home (which i'm not) i'd probably wait until he'd served as president for at least a term. getting elected was surely an epic achievement but the real work starts now.

the one with the unicorn, bare chest and roses is bloody awful.

i agree - this posts reads so much better in first person...the 'we' kind of reminds me of the 'royal' we.

cool coasters!

also why is a hipster pillow telling me to be 'unadorned' when it is adorned with words.

bah.

the text pillow is drowning here! the words on it are as someone else said preachy and make the owner look like a wanker.

i like the lit 101 pillow - not keen on the name of it, but like the look of it but wouldn't buy it.

i don't really like the word trend...i don't want to read pillows, or walls, or tote bags. i don't need to be told that you 'REST' in a bedroom.

i was very happy with the responses i received from decorno's site! i actually sent my question into AT quite a while ago and heard nothing. i thought i had been ignored so i sought decorno's advice after finding her blog (and falling in love with it) through the homie awards.

work hasn't started on the chairs yet. happy to hear more ideas and advice as i'm truly a novice when it comes to treating timber.

elspeth, owner of said chairs.
