CHRISTMAS IS COMING.....

RUSTIC / ROUGH LUXE

If you've been paying attention, you've noticed that Christmas is taking on a  rustic flair.  It started out small, with burlap, and birch bark and forest friends on the tree, but this year its an explosion of rustic and rough luxe cabin style.
the more pine cones, the better


rustic natural style in greens and arrangements

forest themes - owls, foxes, squirrels, bears, coyotes....






deer and birds


add a little shine here and there
some birch bark, twigs or grapevine
 If your mantle is too narrow, take the rustic up and over....

Pheasant feathers and antlers are welcome

tinsel and mercury glass to play opposites


Whether you try for a smidge of the rustic, or completely immerse yourself, here are some ideas sure to inspire you!  This year blackboards are interpreted into pillows, ornaments and signs.  Fabrics are rustic burlap and linen, or lush faux furs...
