Vanessa Boer – Whimsy In Design

by ThinkCONTRA   |  February 7, 2011

After outfitting the apartment you share with several roommates in all its IKEA glory you may find it comes to look a bit … sterile. While you can always try to make things your own, we’ve found sometimes it’s better to let a professional handle it.

Designer and vintage reclaimer Vanessa Boer’s Etsy store is full of beautiful things that look like they came directly from a Wes Anderson film set. From pet portraits to pencil mobiles you can find everything you need to fill your life with a little more wonder.

    Vanessa’s work is amazing. As a friend of hers, I find it hard to distinguish where she ends and her art begins. Both ends are wonderful and the same.

    She’s a work of art sliding through the kitchen in wool socks.

    Also, even though I absolutely LOVE Wes Anderson and what he does, the analogy made me cringe. It sells her short. Though, she is in fact short. It’s just that there’s so much more. AND. If anything, Wes has been ripping from her style for years.
