Industrial Is In

I don’t know about you but I’ve noticed the integration of industrial-style items into home decor. Is it just me? I’ve picked some industrial-type things for my new home office and that’s particularly true when it comes to office supplies. Something about mechanical/industrial items makes me feel more at home. I bought three metal automatic stamps, a stamp carousel (for just $2.50!) and a crazy-weird stapler (for just 25 cents !) that has gold wire staples. My mom gave me some old sewing drawers that I’ve made into catch-all on my desk and when creating my home office had a problem septic pipe in the middle of the floor. So instead of covering it up with carpet, my husband took it to work and cleaned it up on the wire-wheel. It’s such a beautiful brass color and I love it!!!

Below I’ve found some industrial items that would make any home lovely and industrial at the same time.
