This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the playful home of the Hanson family of San Diego, California. Amy Hanson has decorated every corner of her home with handmade items that have significance to her family of five. She has created thoughtful vignettes using her amazing collections of handmade and vintage dolls, houses, numbers, artwork and more, and she has done it all on a budget. Amy has many favorite thrift shops and flea markets that she frequents, and she does a significant amount of her shopping on Etsy as well. Amy also has a beautiful crafting studio where her family spends time together making handmade gifts for one another and their home.
Besides decorating her beautiful home and spending time with her family, Amy runs Sweet Sweet Life, a lifestyle blog where she shares her favorite vintage and handmade finds, as well as crafting ideas that are perfect for children and families. She also has two Etsy shops where she sells her artwork (muffinsabound.etsy.com) and jewelry (bebeandyaya.etsy.com).
Visit Amy on flickr to view more photos of her charming home. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add a meaningful touch to the place you call home.
Decorative Touches
Amy has a series of letters and numbers displayed throughout her home that represent the names and number of family members in the Hanson household.
A Soft Place to Rest
Unique colorful pillows are an easy and comfortable way to add color and character to any room.
A Cozy Home
Every corner of Amy's home is filled with thoughtful vignettes displaying her many handmade and vintage treasures. I noticed a heartwarming house theme making an appearance throughout almost every collection.
An Interesting Collection
Among the eclectic mix of handmade and vintage treasures found on mantles, shelves and windowsills are tiny storage boxes, playful dishes, artwork, miniature figurines, nostalgic toys and tons of dolls.
An Artist's Touch
Amy also has an amazing collection of folksy artwork and prints, which give each room a homey charm.
