Using Antique Saris

This Antique Indonesian Bamboo Table and Stool Set available on Etsy is quite lovely, but what intrigued me most was that the stools have been upholstered using antique quilted saris. Remnants of antique kimonos and saris are quite easy to find on places like eBay and Etsy and using them to upholster stools, benches, ottomans, and the like is a wonderful idea to borrow.

Chinoiserie Robot

Here is a fanciful and whimsical piece of Chinoiserie art-a Chinoiserie robot made of reclaimed materials. This former interior designer, mural painter, and visual artist has an Etsy shop called Reclaim2Fame with truly charming and remarkable things. This little guy is made from a vintage English tea tin. He comes signed, numbered, and dated by the artist.
