Hello friends, we are so glad you are here!
Welcome to our Etsy shop where we get to share the designs we make in our little design studio out of our condo in Minnesota! I started Northern Lane with my husband after graduating from nursing school, inspired by our experience of DIYing as much of our wedding as possible. I fell in love with functional decor that blends both purpose and creativity. As a full-time RN, serving others is my true passion. Northern Lane is where my love for design and helping others comes to life.
We are both Bethel University college Alum's, Ally works as a Registered Nurse and Matthew as a Mechanical Engineer. When we are not at our "day jobs" you can find us designing in our studio, exploring local coffee shops & dreaming about traveling.
The dream behind our Etsy shop is to bring forth connection and creation in a way that is innovative, custom to you, and functional for your home. We are always coming up with new designs, and love partnering with you to create unique pieces.
Our designs are inspired by the greatest creator and inventor of them all. We believe that the Lord loves to partner with us to design and innovate.
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.”
Isaiah 40:28

5 out of 5 starsI would recommend this gift to others. However, I assumed it was gonna be longer. I hope Ally will let me return it.

5 out of 5 starsJust as described! My friend bought one so I got one for someone else in our friend group looking for a similar photo holder.

5 out of 5 starsVery attractive bookends and exactly to my taste in decor - simple and with geometric pattern. The seller responded to a question about customization quickly. I recommend this shop.

Frequently asked questions
Sizing details
We can send you free custom size changes per customer request! While we have seen a theme with other digital design shops offering multiple size prints, we have found that it works the best for our customers to send us their specific desired dimensions. We give as many as the customer requests for free☺️
What material do you use?
MOST of our products are made from PLA (plastic). We design all of our files ourselves, and print our products in our home on Bambu 3D printers.
