THE 2012 “Fresh New Start” COLLECTION While days still roll into weeks, there is truly a psychological “reset” that occurs with the start of each year. To acknowledge that, setting priorities, changing course, or launching new projects often can best be started first by “getting your house in order.” We hope you enjoy our “picks” to help you along with your home organization and design embellishments. THE LISTINGS Invaluable assistance is provided by the member Etsy artisans of team StylishHome, who deliver a cache of their “favorites” from which this collection is assembled. Each listing image links directly to the Etsy product page for purchase. Please understand with the one-of-a-kind nature of these products, price and availability change frequently.

INDUSTRIAL DESK “The A-Frame table was inspired by various French industrial pieces. I built this as a dining table but noticed it would work great as a desk. The original A-Frame design is built of heavy gauge steel and 2 tubular cross braces with bolting ends. The solid top is made of 2″ x 12″ aged sugar pine.” Greg Hankerson Phoenix, Arizona

The People Series
Nichole Robertson We spotted Nichole’s work while browsing Etsy photos to pair with picture frames for this edition. Lucky for us she moved to Paris in early 2009 to start her Paris Color Project. Her “Light” series from Paris is fantastic. Her book, “Paris in Spring” is being published later this spring. Nichole is also a freelance copy writer with clients such as Real Simple and Estee Lauder.

Handmade Quilts
$450
$295
SMALL SALVAGED SCRAPS OF FABRIC ARE JOINED TOGETHER TO MAKE LARGER PIECES CALLED BLOCKS, WHICH COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A QUILT.
$409
$450
Quilts were often given or made to mark special life events such as weddings, the birth of a child, leaving home, or a graduation. What a wonderful tradition to begin or continue. These examples represent some of our favorites from Etsy sellers. A great eclectic look to add color and personality to a bedroom and, more importantly, to an event. 14
QUILTS ARE STILL MADE FOR FUNDRAISING FOR SUCH THINGS AS NATURAL DISASTERS AND IMPORTANT CHARITABLE CAUSES.

WRITING INSTRUMENTS The right equipment to sign the important document‌ pen the loving letter. $55 Depending on the age and model, a fountain pen will employ either a filler mechanism that sucks ink through the nib, or use replaceable ink cartridges. In very old models, an eye dropper may be required to fill the reservoir. While one imagines fountain pens when thinking of fine writing instruments, there are beautiful pens which use the more standard roller ball system. It’s common to find matching mechanical pencils for either pen type.

Tea Party In this case rather English, I’d say. The sterling set to the left is vintage 1884 Victorian. Highly collectable. More often than not, fine china comes to mind – such as the Bristol blue example above. Such fun.
