Etsy Finds for a Shared Space

I’ve been on Etsy a lot lately because I’m trying to solve a space problem in my house. We have a room that is a shared space…half living room, half art area. I don’t want it to look too kid-ish since it’s my living room, but I still want it to be fun and playful. Here are ten of my favorite things that I found.

bohemiam kilim rug on Etsy

one: For the floor, this bohemian kilim rug by Water and Jewel is so super cool.

artwork on Etsy

two: For the walls, this banner by Jimmy Marble is just the kind or artwork required to set the mood.

pencil holder on Etsy

three: This pencil holder by Less and More is a must-have for the craft table.

wind chime garland on Etsy

four: This tiny wind chime garland by Irona Works is so pretty.

ice cream cone cookie cutter on Etsy

five: I am so digging this cutest-ever cookie cutter by Libimova, and she has others! Essential for playdough time.

natural soy candles on Etsy

six: I can’t wait to try these natural soy candles by The Neon Cactus.

marquee light on Etsy

seven: These hand-made marquee light letters by Saddle Shoe Signs are the BOMB! So vintage and unique.

industrial wall light on Etsy

eight: This industrial wall light by Southern Lights is just the thing to give the room a little edge.

banner on Etsy

nine: Every room needs a cheer banner…this orange one from Betawife is perfect.

canvas basket on Etsy

ten: This geometric canvas basket by Love Joy Create is mandatory to throw stuff in last minute when company arrives!

And in my research, I also came across the perfect table and stools from Ikea.

I love the idea of having a shared space because…well honestly, the kids just want to be where you are anyway. And now they can make art and create while the grownups relax with their wine! At least that’s what’s happening in my dreams.

xo, Bar
