Instagram can be an amazing introduction to small businesses and trade from all over. When I first saw an incredible wall hanging on The Beach Lodge’s Instagram feed, my jaw dropped. Of course I had to follow up! I found out it was from The Dharma Door , founded in 2004 by Australian Shannon Sheedy, with the “dream of creating products that combine good design with ethical production.
Shannon and her husband are one of the leading sources for contemporary fair trade in Australia and New Zealand. And as luck would have it, they branched out into the US market in 2014 which is wonderful news for us!
After scrolling through their beautiful array of baskets, wall hangings, and homewares, I was smitten with the Mandala circular wall hanging. I ordered it for a client and fell in love with it’s intricate beauty. I then ordered one for my daughter’s room and being quite naughty, something special for my own bedroom. Those of you who follow me on Instagram know how much I love neutral texture and organic, modern design. These wall hangings encompass everything I adore!
The Mandala wall hanging in my daughter’s room adds delicate texture to a small space.
The Jumbo Wall Hanging with jute fringe just spoke to me. It reminds me of a hula skirt I had as a kid, and also resembles what my hair looks like first thing in the morning! It is texture on steroids!
I’m obsessed with this shaggy work of art!
Up close you can appreciate the work involved. It’s hung on a simple wood dowel I picked up at the hardware store.
There are many beautiful baskets and bags if wall hangings aren’t your jam, but for me, this is IT. Do your self a favor and check out their site, and by the way, their customer service is excellent too!
A few of my favorite things…and a whole lot of books!
They look beautiful! Love the quality of your photographs too, did you use a special camera, Elizabeth? Just wandering… Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Eva! The pictures were taken with my new IPhone 7 Plus 🙂
Nice, professional looking! 🙂
