Etsy Picks for Your Home Under $30

July 8, 2008

Handmade accessories guarantee that you’ll have something in your home that no one else has, and Etsy is the best resource to shop for one-of-a-kind bric-a-brac. Similar to eBay, Etsy is a website for crafters to sell their wares online. If you appreciate all things handmade but don’t have a DIY bone in your body, then Etsy is the place to get that quirky look without all the stress.

Handmade items are not only more interesting than mass-produced ones, but they’re also much more environmentally friendly. But we’ve saved you the time of sifting through hundreds of listings, and bring you the best Etsy finds under $30.

A Lite Brite lamp ($28, pictured above) surely isn’t something you’ve ever seen in any one of your friend’s homes before. At 23 inches tall and Lite Brite lights as part of its lampshade design, it is by far the coolest (or hottest?) lamp we have ever seen.

decal

Wall decals are extremely popular these days, and we found this super cute one ($18) on Etsy featuring a bird perched upon a cherry blossom tree branch.

coaster

These mod coasters ($12 for set of 4) were handcrafted out of recycled, retro fabric in a funky blue and white pattern.

poppy

This unique painted wooden box ($18) is made from reclaimed wood. The poppy design gives it a whimsical look, and can be used to house pencils, incense sticks and much more.

switch

A perfect idea to add spunk to a wall in a rented space you aren’t allowed to paint, this switch plate cover ($6) is decoupaged with an extra fun and playful pattern.

shabbychic

Who doesn’t love a pretty photo frame? This shabby chic wood frame ($18) has been stamped and heat embossed with a vintage floral design.

This would be comfy for everyday use and with the non-rip nylon it would hopefully stand up to my 110lb dog and her big claws!  I think it would go great in a screened porch.
