I have been thinking A LOT about opening an Etsy shop and have finally made it happen, come check out some of my work at:

I hope to have more items posted soon but for now, go explore!

Thai Table

There is a Thai restaurant in Minneapolis that has a beautiful outdoor patio space and one of their tables is a really fun area to sit with friends! The table is made of old big wooden wheels with a covering to keep cool during those warm summer months (or raining spring months). What a fun place to eat dinner.

Unfortunately my other picture of it didn't turn out quite right, guess I'll have to go back!

Upcycled furniture at restaurants adds so much personality to the space and makes a statement.

Test Tube Chandelier

Check out this chandelier by Polish designer, Pani Jurek.  What an awesome design when you can change a room just with a little bit of flowers, plants, colors or something else. What a cool idea!
