Decorate Your
Home With Etsy

Etsy is an online marketplace where hundreds of thousands of creative people from more than 150 countries sell their handmade crafty goodness. Each week, we're featuring a handful of our favorite items in our Etsy Roundup. On the menu this week: Unique decorative pieces for your home.

Repurposed paper all-season wreath	Coiled contemporary bowl
This extremely creative repurposed paper all-season wreath ($108) is a great way to add some flair to your wall. Etsy seller La Alicia (find her on Twitter) crafted the wreath from expertly folded pieces of paper taken from catalogues and magazines. Eco-friendly, original and artsy. We love it!	Bright and beautiful, this coiled contemporary bowl ($47) is as functional as it is decorative, says Etsy seller Sew Danish (find her on Twitter and Facebook). It's crafted from nonwoven fabric-covered cord that's machine-stitched together. Because it's sturdy, you can actually use it.
Po' dot handblown glass bud vase	Modern cottage decorated wooden drawer set
If you need a cheery home for your fresh-cut summer flowers, the po' dot handblown glass bud vase ($60) is perfect. Etsy seller Avolie Glass (find the couple on Twitter and Facebook) describes the vase as "a delightful dance of dots." We think that sums it up perfectly.	Need to store some odds 'n' ends? Do it in style with this modern cottage decorated wooden drawer set ($24.50). Etsy seller Shabby N Chic (find her on Twitter) places decorative acid-free paper on the piece, then custom-mixes paint to match. Once again, we love that a decorative piece can be so functional.
La Vie en Vines box	Vintage porcelain Asian figure
Purchase a few of these La Vie en Vines boxes ($29), place them on a shelf and you have an instant decorative and attention-grabbing display. Etsy seller Hoganfe (find her on Twitter and Facebook) designs and handmakes each beautiful bin.	If you're looking for a unique vintage piece, this vintage porcelain Asian figure ($48) is for you. Etsy seller High Street Market (find her on Twitter) sells beautiful vintage pieces and this porcelain figure, is no exception. It's 14" tall and in good condition.
