Bring The Outside In With Country Home Decor by Barry Pendley
Country Home Decor brings the outdoors into the home. Imagine living in a setting where the freshness of nature surrounds you. There is no better way to live! Country decor does not need to be expensive and is an environmentally friendly way to decorate a home.
Artful combinations of nature's items bring a new dimension. Some use twigs for drapery rods or grapevines for wreaths. Add wild dried flowers such as lavender, rosehips, bay leaves, and pine cones for variety. If you live on a farm or have relatives that are farmers, you can make use of those old wash boards and galvanized bath tubs. Fireplace mantles made from old fences is what we used cause that's all we had. Even outhouses have found new life!
Interior Decorating Tips by DC Zaaiman
1. How To Clean Your Cane Suite
Cleaning your cane suite is a great idea, as can is very resilient.
To clean cane and prevent it from yellowing, douse a stiff brush in a solution of warm water, lemon juice and salt, and scrub the cane well.
Tighten up sagging cane chairs by sponging the top and undersides of the seats with hot and soapy water to which you’ve added a few spoonfuls of salt.
Rinse with a clean wet cloth and allow drying in the sun.
When almost dry, cover the cane with a towel and run a hot iron over it.
Walls offer the most exciting design possibilities.
A vast variety of wall papers are available on the market, be it exotic futuristic or traditional.
2. Tip on Curtains
Curtains do not have to be that expensive to have an appealing look.
Buy inexpensive off-white cotton. Have it quilted and thickly interlined. It looks luxurious and the effect is great.
Small details are important. So often we use tiebacks or push backs on curtains. Make sure not to put them too high. Fix them low, and the look is much more elegant.
Quilted fabrics can be used on chairs and sofas too.
