It has been forever since I have published a post and since we are all staying home right now to help flatten the curve I figured it was as good a time as any to get back into writing. This virus is having such a huge impact on the economy and part of that is those with small businesses. I wanted to help highlight some of my favorite small businesses on Etsy that I have personally purchased from.
We built a custom house and moved into our “Barndominium” in September of last year. I have searched high and low for unique pieces to include in our house and have found some of my favorite pieces from small shops on Etsy. I wanted to share some of my favorite Etsy home finds in case you are searching for some unique pieces to help complete the look of your home as well.
The first piece I am sharing is this “The Fraziers est 2013” sign. I knew I wanted a sign similar to this to go near our front door. I stumbled upon this sign from Jaxley Design and instantly fell in love. They offer several different size options and a number of different stains to choose between. I went with the Classic Gray as it matches the color scheme of our house best. I was incredibly impressed with how quickly I received my order as it is a customized item. I was also very pleased with the quality of the piece and think it is the perfect piece for this little space.
The second piece I want to share is this large bible verse sign hung in our mudroom. I needed something fairly large to help fill this space and loved that Willow and Blush offered so many different sizes to choose from. They also have tons of paint colors to choose from as well as stain options for the wooden frame. I was able to find a shade of blue that matched our blue beaded board perfectly. Again I was incredibly impressed with how quickly I received my order. The quality is amazing and looks perfect hanging in our mudroom.
The next several pieces Im sharing are in my son’s nursery. I did most of my nursery decor shopping on Etsy so that I could find really unique pieces that fit the look I was going for. I used blues and grays in his nursery and wanted sort of a deer/hunting/wildlife type of theme. I found some really awesome pieces on Etsy that helped to create the perfect nursery.
One of those pieces included this really neat white faux deer head wall mount. I thought it made such a neat statement piece for the room while still fitting the color scheme I had for the room. White Faux Taxidermy offers the deer head as well as tons of other animal options in tons of different colors. The quality is amazing and gave the perfect masculine touch to the room.
I knew I wanted to include an airedale into the room somehow as we own an Airedale (she was our first baby). This was a little more challenging as Airedale stuff isn’t very common and finding something that wouldn’t stick out in the nursery was difficult. I stumbled upon this blue airedale print from Bitten by Ermines and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The best part about ordering prints is that you don’t have to wait on them to ship, they are inexpensive, and you can print in whatever size you need for your space.
I wanted to find a few wooden decor pieces to hang on the wall to complete a gallery wall and found these arrows by Michael Miles Creation and these multicolored arrows by Wall Decor Keepsakes. Both were available in a number of different color options but I obviously went with the colors that best fit the nursery color theme. Both items arrived quickly and were of great quality. They helped to add a little extra detail to the gallery wall.
I found this really fun framed Browning Shotgun Print from Patent Earth and knew I had to have it. It was available in several different color options and sizes as well. This print was such a fun piece that really helped to pull the whole hunting theme together.
I searched high and low for bedding that was the right color and had a print that fit the nursery theme and had so much trouble until I searched Etsy. Etsy is such a great place to go to look for crib bedding, there are so many options. I found this Navy blue and white deer head crib sheet from Goodnight Doll and knew it was exactly what the nursery needed.
I needed one final piece to add to my gallery wall and found the sweetest sign that I felt would be perfect to include. It was this grey wood framed piece from Tiny Farmhouse Touches. It is also available in different sizes and stain colors as well.
I would love to hear what some of your favorite Etsy shops are? And what fun pieces have you purchased from Etsy for you home? Head over to Etsy now to shop all the unique handmade items and support a small business.
All of the Christmas shopping in December probably left many of us with empty bank accounts or hefty credit card bills.

Today I will be discussing 5 easy ways to make some quick cash and help replenish those bank accounts and pay down those looming credit cards bills and put a little extra cash in your pocket.
