Doilies go...Contemporary?
By DIY Maven
Popular in the in the eighties (both the decade and the age-group) doilies don't fit into most contemporary--or even traditional--homes these days. However, Janis over at Junk Market Style was inspired by something she saw in Country Living Magazine and decided to give it a go. The idea is to assemble a collection of doiles in an asymetrical way and then tack them together with a needle and thread to create a table runner. » READ MORE
The Stella Rug
By DIY Maven
This is a swooner! The Stella Rug, new from Hidden Art Shop, seems to have been inspired by lace, but it has been taken in a completely modern direction. Made of 5mm thick felted wool, the rug is 120 cm in diameter and will set you back a cool £350. (That’s about 47 inches and about $640 US.)
Steel as Lace by Cal Lane
By DIY Maven
Sculptor and welder Cal Lane has the ability to transform mundane objects like shovels, wheelbarrows, car parts and even I-beams into lace. Her work is all about contradiction, which she uses as ‘a vehicle for finding [her] way to an empathetic image, an image of opposition that creates a balance - as well as a clash - by comparing and contrasting ideas and materials.’ Inspiring.

Bella Billy
By beccajo
Behold, the black and white Billy bookcase from IKEA. Better than covering your own with contact paper, and at under $60, it's a great way to inject one of fall's big trends, lace, into your decor.
If I didn't already have two pine ones of my own, I might consider picking up a new Billy!

DIYable Lace Chandelier
By DIY Maven
Consider Louise Hederstrom’s ‘Grace’ pendant light, available through Scandinavian Design Center ($129). Is just me, or does it look totally DIYable? The white lace pattern is constructed out of plastic. I’m thinking the inner ring of a large wooden embroidery hoop, one of those inexpensive paper lantern lamp kits, some wire.... Whaddaya think for the lace part? Fabric, plastic...paper??

Lovely Lacy Parasol
By DIY Maven
I feel a kinship to Chris Kabel. We both have a weakness for lace. He’s taking his affection for the material to new heights, however, with the ShadyLace Parasol. Available through GreenerGrassDesigns for 300 bucks, it just might prove that sunshine is most interesting when dappled.
Linda Loves Lace*
By DIY MavenWhile at an upscale home decorator fabric store earlier this week, I asked the receptionist/greeter (yes, this shop has a receptionist/greeter) if she could point me in the direction of their lace. A worried look came across her face.
"Oh, I’m afraid we don’t have much lace," she said and then proceeded to escort me to the two options they had, both available in the archetypal white and ecru.
