So you’ve decided on a particular decor scheme that you want to have in your home. What you’ve decided to go with is the rustic look. But what is that even mean? There are various different ideas of what rustic is. Some people consider rustic to be the Southwest look. While others look at the mountains and lodges. Both are definitely rustic in nature but have different styles. For example, the more Southwest style is going to have more cow hides and native artwork, while more mountainous Lodge look is going to have more woodwork and forest themed items. Is there really a right or wrong form of rustic? The answer is no it’s your personal taste as to which type of rustic that you would like.
What Furniture to Go with Which Rustic Look?
So what type of furniture would you want, or need to go with your rustic look? Once again, the answer depends upon the type of rustic look are you going for. If you are going for the more Southwest rustic look and you are going to want furniture that reflects that. You’re going to want cowhide leather that is lighter with wood trim that reminds you of Pueblo houses. If you are going for the more larger mountainous look then you are also going to want to go with leather but perhaps a more traditional leather look or a bit darker leather instead of the ultralight leather. No matter the style, it seems leather is going to be the choice for the rustic look.
No matter which rustic look you’re going for, you do need to go to a furniture store that does carry a wide variety of furniture so that you’ll be able to get the right piece specifically for you. House of furniture located in Clovis, New Mexico is a full furniture store that has a variety of styles that are able to fit any taste. So if you are wanting a southwestern rustic look or a mountainous Lodge look then you will definitely want to check out the House of Furniture first and foremost to get the furniture that will fit you perfectly.
Smoke and Its Effects on Furniture When I say the word smoke, I don't mean the smoke from a pipe, cigar, or cigarette. That kind of smoke does have an effect on fabrics and other things, but the results of exposure can be superficial. The type that I am talking about is the kind that comes from a house fire. When people think of a fire, the smoke that is created is not given the same consideration that the actual flames are given. Actually, smoke damage can permeate your entire house as the result of a small fire in one room. Let's say, for instance, you have a grease fire in your kitchen. This blaze catches the countertops and a portion of the cabinets and drawers on fire. One of those cabinets contains the entirety of Tupperware collection and a few other random plastic kitchen items. The synthetic materials in your home can produce copious amounts of damaging dark smoke. Laquer, paint, and stained and varnished wood can also produce the same results when they catch on fire...
Loveseat, baby, Loveseat Exploring the History of the Loveseat When you hear anything with love in the name, you are going to assume the item in question has a lot to do with amorous activity, right? Things like love stories, love motels, The Love Boat, or even love potions all have to do with people expressing their affections. So, it would be pretty obvious to assume that the loveseat was invented to bring people closer together. However, contrary to the namesake, the loveseat's origins aren't steeped in any romantic history. Loveseat is Just a Wide Seat No one really knows who invented the loveseat, however, during the 18th century, wider seats became much more popular. They weren't designed for two people to sit side by side closely, but more for the ladies of the time to have a place to sit that would accommodate their ridiculously wide gowns and dresses they would wear. Over time, the dress fashions became much slimmer and the need for an oversized c...
Still My Favorite Time When I was a kid, dinner time was an event. We all waited until everyone was seated and then we had our prayer before everyone started passing the food around. There were certain traditions depending on the meal. Mom and Dad had their favorite piece of chicken so we children made sure to let them choose what they wanted. Sometime we would have various toppings and we would eat what we called "Cracker Snacks". Dad would top his crackers with sardines and I would pretend I couldn't smell them. We ate almost every meal together as a family. We spent the time eating and talking (sometimes we got reminded that doing both at the same time was rude...) about our day. My dad worked long hours and my mom took care of all four of us children. so this was our opportunity to spend time telling each other about how our days went. I feel like it brought us closer together as a family unit. However, as we children got older and reached our teens, some of us had ...
