Store-bought chandeliers are no bargain, but they're also not one of those things you can "fake 'til you make." So, shopping at Etsy for vintage and handmade chandeliers is a great way to find high-style pieces at affordable prices. I did some digging, and let me tell you, it wasn't long before I found dozens of chic chandeliers.

Featuring finches, lories, and parakeets behind a delicate copper wire, the Anthropologie Songbird Chandelier ($798) is a bit gimmicky, but I can still definitely see its appeal. It would look great along with some busy, bird-themed wallpaper — like the one in Domino editor Rita Konig's foyer. But for a piece that requires a very specific design scheme, I certainly wouldn't spend nearly $800.

Since I wrote my slideshows on how to decorate with gray and with yellow, I've been on a major gray and yellow kick, and I'm considering using those colors in a palette for one of my rooms. So as a start, I thought I'd see what gray and yellow artwork is out there. Obviously having more than two colors in a painting or a print will give it more depth and visual interest, so it's not limited to just these hues!

As if covering your cell and iPhone with amazing handmade goods wasn't enough, I went ahead and found five adorable DSi cases on Etsy that are worthy of a look-see, and maybe even a purchase if you don't already have your console protected. That DSi was an investment, no? Might as well keep it free of scratches and dings with one of these!

Don't get me wrong, I love a good spooky home at Halloween. But really making your home a frightful sight can be a big chore. You can still be festive for the holiday without introducing any chopped-off fingers or zombie heads into your décor.
