Rustic Furniture and Log Furniture are our
specialty
 Rustic
décor brings a home one step closer to nature. Sure,
one step may not seem like a lot, but if you are living in a bustling
city, that one step can seem like a mile. If your world is full
of cell phones, fax machines, SUVs, computers, and other technology
that “makes the world a better place,” coming home to
a house full of rustic décor can be a relief.
There is no home décor quite as simple and comforting as
rustic décor. Rustic furniture gives a home a homespun look
that other furniture just cannot match. Many people might think
that your furniture belongs solely in a cabin or a lodge, but what
better place to have rustic furniture than in the city? It is in
the city that you most need some sort of outlet to nature, even
if the only outlet you have is the rustic décor of your home.
You can tell when you have come across a good piece of country
furniture if it looks like it has been worn by many years of love,
but is still standing strong. On an old, genuine piece of country
furniture, every ding and every dent tells a story – “this
is where little Bobby bumped is bike… this is from when we
tried to move the table through that tiny doorway.”
Even brand new pieces of rustic wood furniture seem to have a long
history behind them… they are made to look as such. The same
cannot be said of contemporary furniture. In fact, contemporary
furniture has a completely different feel that comes with it –
most contemporary furniture seems to have the future in mind, rather
than history and the past. Also, it is generally made up of hard,
cold, bold, straight lines.
Our furniture, on the other hand, is made up of warm, smooth, jagged,
meandering lines. In fact, if you buy a piece of rustic wood furniture,
like log furniture, you never know exactly what the lines of that
piece are going to look like – every piece is different. Every
piece has its own character.
A piece of pine furniture, for instance, may still have knots and
“deformities” in it that make it look completely different
from any other piece of pine furniture. Log furniture make have
checking (cracking that occurs as the wood dries), knots, bark,
and other details. Your rustic bedroom furniture may not all be
completely even – your dresser top may not be completely square,
etc. Instead, the natural wobbles and interesting lines of the wood
are used to define where a tabletop should begin and end. And to
better show off these interesting lines and beautiful wood grain,
much rustic furniture is coated in a clear finish.
So, regardless of whether you want to dress up your entire home
in rustic décor, or if you just want to have a few pieces
of furniture to accent what you already have, this website will
provide you with useful information. Use this website to guide yourself
and to learn more about rustic furniture (aka country furniture,
cabin furniture, western furniture…)
