This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the sweet and charming Seattle home of Tif Fussell. Tif runs dottieangel, an inspiring blog focused on home decor, family life and vintage treasures. She also runs a successful Etsy shop at dottieangel.etsy.com, where she sells revamped vintage slips and beautifully crafted aprons, pillows, dish towels, and other items to make your home look pretty.
Tif's home features a lovely mix of modern and vintage, along with many special handmade touches that give every room a sense of homey sweetness. Her amazing collection of vintage and designer linens really caught my eye. These textiles can be casually draped on a sofa, patched together to create unique curtains, quilted into a gorgeous fireplace screen or even used to revamp a vintage dresser or cupboard.
Visit Tif on flickr to view more photos of her charming home. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas to add a bit of color, pattern and texture to the place you call home.
