It's officially "the Holidays", the only time of year I put my fancy table runner to use. It isn't really all that fancy, but it boosts my tables self esteem quite a bit! Etsy has lots to offer in handmade and vintage table runners, here are some of my favorites.
Last week David Stark made a guest appearance on Apartment Therapy to show off his holiday collection at West Elm. I noticed this simple DIY that he put together for twine snowmen over at Design Sponge. He has some cool tricks up his sleeve to make this project pop as an easy holiday centerpiece.

Tucked away on the outskirts of Portland you’ll find the cozy home of the artistic duo known as APAK. You might have seen their work here recently on Apartment Therapy. Their 1930s home is warm, inviting, and reflective of the art that this couple creates together.
The season for indoor gardening is upon us, and with it another take on the hanging planter. The nostalgic shape of the Polaroid Flower Vase is immediately recognizable and draws your focus to the picture perfect plant.
I'm a sucker for classic party decorations as noted in last week's Flickr Finds... add the element of sparkle and I'm completely sold! These new decorations might be just the thing your impending New Years Eve party has been searching for.
With Autumn in full swing, our walls are leaving some of us with an empty spot where our jackets could be neatly hung. These Concrete Lightbulb Wall Hooks have a cool pop art/industrial feel and they are fairly simple to make!
Festive and classic, the party decorations featured on this album cover can still hold their own in a world that celebrates kitch times. By having a few basic items on hand: streamers, tissue paper balls, party horns and paper hats, you will always be ready for an impromptu "Riot in The Rumpus Room"!
This weekend Portland area craft enthusiasts will be gathering at the last monthly Crafty Wonderland hosted at Doug Fir. As a way of thanking them for their 3.5 years of monthly DIY encouragement, I'm urging you to get on out there and support your local craft scene! Here is a list of more sales going on around the nation this weekend...
Tis the season for entertaining, thus all the stains that come along with good times! Don't forgo using your favorite tablecloth or hide away your rugs. I've rounded up some techniques for easy stain removal so you won't have to sweat the small stuff...
