Western Furniture
Friday, February 29th, 2008Nothing adds more cowboy charm to a room than fine western furniture. Western decorating has become incredibly popular over the past few years, as more and more people find that the rugged beauty of Western furniture adds some welcome contrast to today’s modern designs. When shopping for rustic furniture you should try to incorporate materials that will remind you of the outdoors such as wood, denim and wool. Small items can often play a central role in creating a western theme of mind, such as pine cones, patchwork quilts and prairie flowers. If you have a fireplace or mantle, you could decorate it with an old fashioned set of iron tongs, and a dust broom.
An Albuquerque chair or barstool makes for an excellent choice and will complement any southwestern dining table with its many different finishes and fabrics. A Colorado dining table is a beautiful piece that is handcrafted from kiln dried Ponderosa Pine heartwood. This piece of western rustic furniture is clear with only an occasional knot, and the table is hand sanded, smoothed and carved with tools that have been used for generations. The tops are substantial at 1 1/4 inches thick, and the Ponderosa wood makes this one of the finest pieces of Pine furniture available.
