Etsy Love - Furniture

I found these fantastic furniture pieces via Etsy, using some staple goods to create new ideas.

I have volunteered to create a lamp for the Chair Affair auction this coming April.  I am trying to be brave enough to start from scratch on the lamp shade, since I have two tall wire frames.  Wish me luck!!

re-use

Love this idea of re-using crates to make a table.  I think you could also tip them forward or make shelves to slide them in and out.

This year its being put together by a lovely group of ladies, and I am their helper!! This event raises money for Interior Design scholarships in the state of Idaho, and is a great way to see new trends in furniture design, showcasing student and professional talent.

This year, like most there is a Lecture Series on Friday April 22nd from 10:30am-1pm at the Double Tree Riverside, we will feature two excellent lectures, and lunch for only $25 (online). The Gala Event is Saturday April 23rd from 7-11pm at The Linen Building, at this event you can view all entrants, vote for the people's choice award, and then awards will be presented. The admission price for the gala is $20 for Adults (online) and $10 for Children (13 & Under). Entertainment will provided, hors d'oeuvres, and no-host bar. There will also be the Silent auction for the idi Artist Lamp Series and Raffle prizes!
