Friday's Geometric Find: Upcycled Wall Mosaic.
Often times, leftovers are even more delicious than the original meal. And while we're not sure what this table top may have looked like in its former life, we definitely love what its parts have become.

New Geometric Wood Organizers In The Etsy Shop!
I'm so darned proud of how these salvaged organizers turned out. The geometric design really pops! Just got 'em all listed in the Etsy shop too. More designs are in the works, so stay tuned.

Simple, Yet Effective Design.
Contrary to popular belief, creating a minimalist aesthetic can be difficult. Add eco-friendly to the mix and you've got quite the challenge. And now you know why I love these coasters:

Urban Foraging.
Seattle is known for recycling and reusing--and more recently, composting. In fact, spotting "free" piles of wood or other unused building materials in a neighbor's front yard is a common sight.
If you're like me, you begin to wonder...what to do with all that free wood...?

Stay Sharp.
What's better than a pencil? A big pencil! And what's better than a big pencil? A coat rack shaped like a big pencil! Seriously though, what an awesome "Back To School" find.

Shop Profile: Star House.
It's wedding week, here at Featherette, and today we're looking for handmade cake toppers. Etsy sellers, Star House, who "strive to make wooden folks that are simple and super cute" are topping our shopping list...so to speak.
We adore their custom cake toppers! And we especially love that they incorporate the entire family (including pets, above) in to the mix!
And for all the animal lovers out there, they even have custom mascot pairs! Jody and I would opt for bunnies, but these bears are super cute!
Cycling enthusiasts, have no fear. There's a perfect set of cake toppers for all you commuters out there too!

A Wallet For Every Dad.
The Minimalist:
The Jock:
The Techie/Geek:
The Hipster:
You've seen your dad's wallet. It's that bulbous, faded, hunk of leather exploding from his back pants pocket. It's crammed with receipts, business cards and photos. Yet, somehow, it's completely void of the one thing that wallets are essentially built for: cash.
And since your dad has no cash to his name, a painful filing system in his back pocket, and an increasingly crooked spine, he desperately needs you to buy him a new wallet. Trust us--his butt, back and budget will thank you.
Part of our week long "Gifts For Dad" series. More Father's Day finds all this week!

Theme Of The Week: Spring Cleaning.
Spring cleaning is more than a yearly dusting of the blinds or the recycling of old magazines, it's a chance to redesign not only your space, but your life.
We start with one of my favorite Etsy shops, Old New Again. They make new look old and then new again, if you catch my drift.
This week, we'll be spotlighting our favorite "Spring Cleaning" finds to help you get your space (and life) in order: organizational/storage solutions, design upgrades, artwork makeovers, vintage renewal and more! So go get started on that closet of yours--just be sure to drop by this week and check us out. Have a great week!
