New Trend: Folk Art

The Russian nesting doll (Matryoshka) trend has been around for a while now - and rightly so, they are adorable. I always called them babooshka dolls. I think this trend is going to expand to include folk art, in particular kurbits designs (popular in Sweden between 1780 and 1870). I'm going to be on the lookout for more folk art inspired pieces but in the meantime here are some ideas.

Clockwise from Top Left: Dalahorse from Nordiska Museet,  Embroidered Wallhanging from Urban Outfitters,  Childrens boots from Vincent, Matryoshka notebook by bismo080, Kitties Wall Art by Fawn Gehweiler at Urban Outfitters, Folk Garden Skirt by Viola at Anthropologie, Swedish Folk Art: Floral and Kurbits Designs by Diane Edwards at Amazon, Two Doves Necklace by Anne Kiel at Moose,  Deco Floral Table from Urban Outfitters,  Silk Folk Dress by Johnny Was at Neiman Marcus,  Cross-Stitch Art by ChezSucreChez.

Beautiful wall decal by Hanna Werning. Available at  Made in Design. I would love this sticker (and the chair).

Let me know if you see any other great folk art pieces.
