And The Winner Is?
Make A Rustic Sawhorse Table For Under $40
Ever since we took a peek into Heather Moore's Cape Town abode, I've been dying to visit Africa. I've also long-been inspired by the woven accents and colorful patterns of African furnishings. Fortunately for me, African accents have been turning up all over the home decor world -- from baskets to textiles, and everything in between. While it may not be a trip to Cape Town, I've rounded up a few of my favorite home accessories inspired by the continent below:
