Cool Stuff: New at Urban's

The latest Urban Outfitters circular arrived in the mail today, and several things caught my eye:

Birds of a Feather Plates, above, $6 each or $15 for four

Wall Triptych by artist Lee May Foster, $40

Little Birds Wall Clock, $24

Flock Pillow by illustrator Eleanor Grosch, $26 (just curious: when will this whole "birds" thing be over?)

Paisley Gardens, High Roller, and Waterlily Patchwork chairs, $200 each (these are even threatening my cheap-chair crush on IKEA's Skruvsta)

Green Leaf Lulu Chair, $380

Check out these and other new Urban's items here.

hi leah. i'm in love with the chair on the left but have no space for it. so instead, i want to create kind of the same effect with chair cushions for my dining chairs and desk chair. and though i LOVE anthropologie cushions (like this one: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=77500&parentid=NEW_HOME_DECOR_PILLOWS&pushId=NEW_HOME_DECOR_PILLOWS&popId=NEW_HOME_DECORATING&sortProperties=&navCount=24&navAction=poppushpush&color=nat), i don't want to spend more than $20/cushion. do you have any etsy seller recs for funky cushions?

Hey ten thousand only,

I absolutely love Etsy seller Absoluut's vintage fabric pillow covers, but they're $25 plus $5 shipping from the Netherlands, plus the pillow insert, which puts them well over your $20 budget. Still worth a look, though:

For a more affordable alternative with a similar look, check out the pillow covers from Etsy seller Ruthscrafts:

They're about $10 each. Coupled with IKEA pillow inserts for a couple of bucks, that'll bring you in well under the $20 mark.

And it never hurts to just take a gander around Etsy to see what jumps out at you. Here's the link for pillows, arranged by price:

You have to skip through about ten pages of sachets before you get to the real pillows, but there are dozens to be had for less than $20.

Hope that helps!
