New West Rustic Regionalism- Part 2

I promised more rustic design- todays post will feature rustic accessories-both good and bad- depending on your views... 

By this I mean that I am not a fan of faux antler or wood carving art (the bear "sculptures" are a good example of this), lighting, or furniture...the whole resin antler or wood carving is just that faux resin and man made.   Real antler lighting is available and can be very beautiful!   P.S. The photo shown does not state whether it is faux or not. You decide...

 

 
 
Bark wallpaper?  Pretty in the right home...may be tough to dust...cabin or summer/vacation home?
 


 
 
Birch bed looks modern in this setting.  Just by changing the setting or room it is in will change the whole feel of it...the farm implements on the wall of the entry way photo can be bought at many garage sale or estate sales.


 
As many of you will remember, I showed you a DIY project on how to make your own tree stump side table in a past post.  (Metallic Tree Stump Table posted on 9/17/12.) Not hard to make, but it is helpful if you have a friend with trees that need to be felled to obtain the trunks for this project.  Resin tree trunks can be purchased also if you do not want to deal with the drying process or bark falling off.

 
Love this chair from Wisteria.com, it is even on sale for a Father's Day event.  Again, it could fit in with several design styles.  I could see it at the head of a dinign table or in a office!  How about you?
 
 



My own home has some "New West" rustic regionalism decor, but by no means looks like a cabin.  It all depends on how you use these accessories and what your preferences are!  Remember, it IS all about turning the clients ideas /dreams into reality.
