Etsy Finds Decor: Show Your True Colors

Christine

This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the vibrant home of Italian Etsy seller, Paola Panelli. Her home features brightly colored walls, sleek modern furniture and colorful handmade and vintage accents. Each room in her apartment is filled with plants and natural light and the spectacular views from the top floor make her space an inspiring place to work.

Paola's studio is located in the attic of her apartment and features hot pink furniture and office supplies which really pop against the natural wood floor and beams. She has a hammock hanging in her studio and fluffy floor cushions that look like the perfect place to relax between long hours of sewing and designing.

Paola runs a fantastic Etsy shop known as atelierpompadour where she sells beautifully appliqued pillows, table runners and other home accessories. She also started Creativity Channel, a blog that documents her work in progress and highlights work from upcoming artists and designers.

Visit Paola on flickr to view more photos of her cheerful home. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add a bit of color to the place you call home.
