Rustic Window Treatments
Rustic country decor is an extension of American country style decorating. In addition, traditions have been borrowed from French, English and some Swedish country. Rustic country decor can be defined as coarse, charmingly simple, non-fussy, unfinished and yet with endearing qualities. Rustic country decorating consists of the use of natural woods, aged surfaces, rough finishes and simple lines. This decor is about handcrafted objects, simplicity, furnishings that you enjoy and that connect you back to nature. Rustic cottage furniture is commonly made with pine and perhaps painted with hand-painted designs such as flowers, birds, animals, country scenery or leaves.
