This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the mid-century modern influenced Salem, Massachusetts home of Nicole and Niclas and their two daughters, Matilda and Linnea. Nicole admits to having a bit of an Etsy shopping addiction which is made clear upon touring her home. She has a keen eye for finding great deals on vintage furniture and home accessories, and recently began selling vintage items in her Etsy shop, atomic.etsy.com.
Nicole says her home style is influenced by Etsy, flickr, finding creative solutions for storing her children's toys and her love for entertaining and throwing parties. Her children have an incredible playroom where each toy seems to have both a decorative and playful function. She fills her home with bright colors and beautiful mid-century furniture that she is proud to have found at great bargain prices.
Visit Etsy's There's No Place Like Here flickr pool to view more photos of Nicole's home, and check out the Etsy Finds below to see how you can add a little playful touch of kid-friendly modern to your own home.

COLORFUL Bowling Pins
Nicole is thankful for her children's playroom when entertaining, as it provides a designated space for her little ones to run wild with their friends (meanwhile giving the adults the freedom to have grown-up conversations.) These vintage bowling pins are sure to entertain the kids, but will also look great on a shelf after playtime is over. From sweetshorn, $36.

Custom Bird on a Wire Sculpted Painting - 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches deep
I spotted a beautiful custom piece by artist Laura Sue in Nicole's home. These paintings are so unique because the artist will work with you to customize the piece to match your specific requests. This could be a clever alternative to the traditional family portrait, with each bird representing a member of your family. By EarthArt, $62.
