This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by The Red Hook Labs, a Brooklyn based collaborative artist space run by Dustin Yellin and Charlotte Kidd. The 15,000 square foot former industrial warehouse houses studios for sculpture, photography, painting, a video editing facility, a gallery and an artists' residency space.
Yellin creates intricate volumetric tomographic paintings through the gradual buildup of form, which is accomplished through layered paintings between blocks of resin. Dustin's personal work space includes countless found objects picked up during his many world travels (as well as on the street).
The space is filled with a mixture of animal artifacts and industrial machinery, as well as paintings, drawings and sculptures from friends, including work by Gavin Anderson and Gibby Haynes. Yellin even has a full size Airstream trailer parked inside his studio.
Visit The Selby for more photos of The Red Hook Labs and Dustin's studio. Check out the Etsy Finds below for some creative decorating ideas on how you can add an artistic touch of natural history to your own home or studio. As an added bonus, be sure to check out Dustin's studio tour from Etsy's video series, There's No Place Like Here.

MEL-O-BIT American CHEESE Box...Upcycled
The Red Hook Labs are housed inside of an old printing warehouse, and it still reflects much of its industrial past. However, the space has been opened up to let in rays of natural light and filled with plants to soften its cold brick exterior. Using this salvaged box as a planter is a great way to add a bit of the past to your home garden. From fruitsaladvintage, $20.
Fusing found objects can result in exciting combinations that express the character of a past life. By GriffinLamps, $85.
There is nothing more inspiring than collecting your thoughts in a beautifully handcrafted chair. By designvessel, $400.
Vintage Steampunk Microslide Case for SCIENCE
If you make a habit of collecting lots of found objects, this trunk is a great place to store your treasures. From adVintagous, $32.
It's interesting to see the relationship between Dustin's surroundings and his artwork. Decorating your space with compelling objects and art can be an inspiring force in your life. By noraaoyagi, $30.
Dustin has a great collection of animal bones, skulls, snake skin and artifacts. This crocheted skull would fit in nicely with his collection. By DeweyDecimalCrafts, $30.
I love this portrait from the series entitled “Skeleton Krew Collection,” which emphasizes the layers of the human face. By redheart13, $17.50.
Mini Green Gooseneck Desk Lamp
Whether you're drafting up ideas for your next big DIY project or sketching an artistic masterpiece, this desk lamp casts the perfect light to illuminate your sketch pad. From 26olivestreet, $18.
Pair of Outdoor themed Thermos
If you're going to eat and sleep in an Airstream, then why not go all out and drink your morning beverage from an amazing vintage camping thermos? From ravennagirlsvintage, $28.
If your space won't allow for a full sized Airstream trailer, then you may want to think about settling for this handcrafted birdhouse trailer instead. By ralfg08, $27.

Did anyone notice how dustin' s dog look similat to the portrait painting in the background? when dogs are like this, you just want to invite them for tea and take them to toys shop. I really like dustin's studio. And his dog.

I think it would be cool it live in a warehouse turned into an artist space. Very cool.

The Airstream trailer, reminds me of a couple that turned their trailer into a travelling art gallery.
Artist studio's are always full of interesting (often dusty) objects. Those wood gears are great - I bought part of an old clock a few weeks ago, and spent hours taking it apart for the lovely brass gears.

Having struggled with resin in my own projects, I love his resin blocks - very impressive!

How totally cool is their stuff. It's amazing what creative minds can do with what appears to be junk to so many others. Loved reading this spotlight.
