I was searching for some Etsy items for my husband and came across some really interesting distressed designs by FosterWeld on Etsy. Everything from belt buckles, to mirrors, to tables, to lighting can be found on their website. There are so many items I would post…pretty much the whole site! But I picked my favorites below.

A lot of the pieces are scratched and dipped in paint, or have paint drips on them. They’re really well done, I have seen so many attempts at this style and it’s hard to pull it off if you’re not careful and really decisive about where you use your color and textures. There’s even a pink skull belt buckle…if I wore a belt…I’d have to have it! Please check out the FosterWeld Etsy Store, and the Fosterweld site too…you won’t be disappointed!

Ok….so I know that this is probably a slightly unusual post, but I came across this bed in my search for furniture, and I was completely and utterly blown away! It’s a work of art…for your bedroom. Handcrafted by artisan Shawn Lovell at Shawn Lovell Metalworks who uses “…traditional forging techniques as well as modern welding fabrication to create her one of a kind pieces.” She is truly talented and I came across many pieces on her site that I was in love with as you will see below…but the bed takes the cake. If you have a moment, you have to check it out…her work is organic and free and beautiful! Let her know where you found her and check out the site!
