Etsy Finds: Getting Caroline Hwang's Look - Home Decor Edition

Caroline Hwang is a Brooklyn based artist and crafter whose work we just adore.  We are really excited about the upcoming show at Giant Robot NY that will be running from October 11 – November 28, featuring a few of her fabric collages representing the complexities of human relationships. We recently came across a few photos of her apartment posted on Design Sponge's Sneak Peeks column and just love the way she displays her collections of found objects and artwork throughout her home.  You too can get the look with these great items we found on Etsy.

Plants are always a great way to add life to any space.  If your home is flooded with natural light, don't let it go to waste.  These moss terrariums require very little care for the amount of love they emit. By madebymavis, $38.

This Get the Look Home Decor Edition can become a really good series. It would be cool to see pics of a good variety of artists' homes from all around the globe. And, what items on Etsy would fit right into their home's vibe.

Fun to see great home decor ideas and I LOVE the terrarium!

I have been wanting a good old terrarium for years, the kind I had back in the seventies. Bubble plastic on a black pedestal, like this one: http://kissmyaster.blogspot.com/2008/...

Thanks!
