StylishHome Launches eCatalog Issue 2 – Home Makeover with Handmade and Vintage.

Our 2nd eCatalog issue will help you get the New Year started with interesting and beautiful items, hand picked by the Etsy Team - StylishHome and the StylishHome staff, to accent, organize, and redefine your home. We believe home makeovers can come from a splash of color, a few unusual decorative pieces, or… the full enchilada! With this in mind, the catalog features sections for home organization, kitchen and kitchen pantry, office organization, and many different featured décor categories to help you accomplish your New Year resolution of a more enticing home. Some closet organizers might be in order to stow the old and bring in the new. And, to bring it all together, we think you’ll also enjoy our section on Color Trends 2012. Pick your new “finds” using the latest color palette. read more
