<a href="https://sep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/home-decor-20.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="For The Home" border="0" class="img-responsive" height="200" hspace="0" src="https://sep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/home-decor-20.gif" vspace="0" width="173" /></a>Whether decorating the interior of a home or a yard space, design is all about the accessories. On trend, this year is the addition of vintage pieces that reflect the best of rustic charm while still complementing the architecture and design style of the home. When people hear the word "vintage," they automatically think "old." However, nothing could be further from the truth. Vintage decor' depicts no particular era which allows individuals to mix and match styles, pieces, and looks while still reflecting their individual tastes.<br />
<br />
<b>Materials Used</b><br />
<br />
Two of the most common materials utilized when including vintage elements in home decor' are metal and wood. The elements add interest and texture to any home's interior or exterior. They also ensure that spaces exude a certain warmth, elegance, and charm. Currently in use are also reproductions which tend to be more affordable than many antique pieces.<br />
<br />
<b>Enhancing Style With Vintage Pieces For the Home</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The accessories selected for the home should complement the basic decorating style of the space. That means that if a room or outdoor space is filled with contemporary furnishings and elements, adding wrought iron or wooden vintage pieces sparingly would provide a focal point juxtaposed against the stark styling of traditional, contemporary design. Whether selecting a wooden ladder that serves as shelving or a black, wrought iron candelabra to go over a dining room or patio table, such pieces would be just enough to turn a dull space into a vibrant, inviting place.<br />
<br />
<b>Expanding the Living Space to the Outdoors</b><br />
<br />
Indoor/outdoor living is a trend that has grown in popularity over the past several years. By incorporating some of the interior home accessories outdoors can easily expand the living space yet maintain the design flow. The same is true for bringing the outdoors in. For example, utilizing an extra section of exterior wrought iron fencing indoors as a wall ornament would bring outdoor elements inside creating one large room once the doors are opened.<br />
<br />
Vintage pieces, especially wood and iron, are an excellent way to add an element of charm and historical flavor to the interior or exterior of any home. Utilizing such elements adds interest, texture and a focal point to any space. Whether selecting authentic antiques or reproductions for interior and exterior spaces, mixing the old with the new is not only right on trend but also ensures any space is truly distinctive.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com237tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-9478258431930926492017-05-27T07:23:00.000-07:002017-05-27T07:23:57.195-07:005 Step Wood Vintage Shelf Unit Made From Antique Ladder 56"t<a href="https://sep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/5-step-wood-vintage-shelf-unit-made-from-antique-ladder-56-t-50.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://sep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/5-step-wood-vintage-shelf-unit-made-from-antique-ladder-56-t-50.gif" /></a>If you love the look of vintage wood and want to add an interesting piece in a home, the<br />
5 Step Wood Vintage Shelf Unit Made From Antique Ladder 56 t, is the perfect addition. The antique ladder, built with five shelves is a multi-functional unit that makes an interesting conversation piece. Standing close to 5-foot tall, it has a purpose for every room in the home.<br />
<br />
The Ladder is in the color of Rustoleum Warm Caramel. Customize the ladder to look older or give it a rustic appeal. Choose the desired color to add to the caramel as a thin layer of color, and get a similar look to the appearance of sanded rustic boards. A thicker coat of a preferred color of a Satin finish will allow some of the caramel to show through. Still keeping that aged antique look but in more of a solid color.<br />
<br />
It is the perfect choice for small apartments since it is less than 2-feet from the wall to the front of the bottom shelf, which would be the largest depth. The use of the five shelves can range from the porch to the bathroom. Upgrade the country appeal to a covered front porch and use it to hold planters of flowers and mini buckets for digging tools. Add an on-porch herb garden, so all of your fresh herbs are close.<br />
<br />
Bathroom linens, candles, and specialty soaps would be within reach and neatly kept on display. In the kitchen, old antique cookbooks, glassware, and old kitchenware would have a home. It would also maximize space in a bedroom to double as a bookshelf, phone-charging station, hold photos or keep keys, change, and a wallet in one location.<br />
There are many ways to use the 5 Step Wood Vintage Shelf Unit Made From Antique Ladder 56 t. while adding a vintage look within the home.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com55tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-60294412691244555562017-05-15T09:46:00.003-07:002017-05-15T09:46:26.693-07:00Beautify Your Yard This Year With Lovely Wrought Iron Flower Trellises!<a href="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/extra-wide-garden-hoop-arrow-wrought-iron-trellis-10.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Extra Wide Hoop & Arrow Wrought Iron Trellis - 34" Wide" border="0" class="img-responsive" height="150" hspace="0" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/extra-wide-garden-hoop-arrow-wrought-iron-trellis-10.gif" vspace="0" width="113" /></a>Have you noticed how beautifully Wrought Iron Flower Trellises showcase many climbing blossoms? These stylish garden accessories install easily in front and back yards adding a charming, decorative quality to the landscaping. By placing several sturdy trellises in visible locations, for instance, some property owners maximize the impact of brilliant spring and summer floral displays.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Grow Abundant Flowers</b><br />
For instance, just imagine how lovely red, yellow or pink tea roses would appear growing along a handmade large circle trellis or shoulder trellis? These delicate, fragrant blooms provide superb color alone, or in combination with other climbing plants. Unlike traditional rose bushes, tiny tea roses train quickly to grow along lateral fences or upwards against decorative wrought iron rods; they'll eagerly cling to ornate trellises, providing hours of gardening enjoyment.<br />
<br />
The great purple, blue or white trumpet-shaped Morning Glory blossoms also create beautiful outdoor highlights. These blossoms will close at dusk, then open again during sunlit morning hours. Many people enjoy tracking the movement of the petals over time. Consider growing two vines per trellis to ensure a full, vivid cascade of sweet-smelling flowers. This type of arrangement adds visual interest to yards with very little required maintenance once the plants obtain a good start.<br />
<br />
<b>Enhance a Vegetable Garden, Too!</b><br />
<br />
Did you know, you can even install Wrought Iron Flower Trellises very efficiently to add some color to vegetable gardens? These delightful accessories will support many types of climbing plants, including tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and even cucumbers. (You may need to provide extra support for large cucumbers to prevent them from falling off before harvest).<br />
<br />
By encouraging vining veggies to grow upwards, instead of horizontally along the ground, gardeners can significantly increase the crop yield per foot. Fit more plants into a small garden, for instance. Best of all, you can relocate a sturdy decorative trellis composed of permanent wrought iron quickly from one outdoor area to another on demand. Consider utilizing this vital gardening tool for veggies in the early spring, then relocate it to enhance a stunning front yard floral display!<br />

Garden features such as birdbaths, pedestals, and planters can be included in a garden, landscape or patio design to create eye-catching statement pieces. Sometimes, it’s the discovery of a strategically placed piece of garden art that makes meandering through the garden a more memorable experience.<br />
<br />
Concrete statues are heavy. Moving them around on a patio or in a garden is quite difficult. Fiber Stone is an alternative to concrete. It is durable, lightweight and can add ambiance, nostalgia, and beauty to an outdoor living area or garden space. Garden art, planters, birdbaths and decorative wall hangings, shelves, and finials made of Fiber Stone are budget-friendly ways to make your outdoor space look regal or rustic.<br />
<br />
Whether decorating an indoor area or outdoor space, the attention to detail is what will make your design unique and impressive. With ten colors to choose from in Fiber Stone, it’s easy to find the color that ideally complements a specific outdoor décor, or that coincides with a certain garden theme. Fiber stone statues are a great way to personalize a garden. They are a wonderful way to add whimsy to a flower garden. Angels, animals, and gargoyles are timeless pieces of garden art. Whether used as a focal point or tucked into the garden as an accent piece, a statue can be one of the most impressive details in an outdoor design.<br />
<br />
Fiber Stone benches, stools and tables can be moved around so that the design of an outdoor seating area can easily be reconfigured. A traditional style garden bench can provide a place for intimate conversation or solitary contemplation. A Fiber Stone desert chair would not only provide seating; it would be an eye-catching, conversation piece in any garden or landscape design.<br />
<br />
It would not be very practical to include items made of concrete inside a home. Lightweight Fiber Stone is practical for indoor use. A pedestal planter, a bench or a garden seat would be a lovely, unique addition to a foyer, bathroom or sunroom.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com47tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-52707707983759336902017-05-06T07:00:00.003-07:002017-05-06T07:01:56.794-07:00Woven Wire Loop Fencing Arriving Monday <br />

Arriving Monday! So excited to get this <a href="http://www.arusticgarden.com/soneworwife.html" target="_blank">historical looped top ornamental wire fencing</a> back In Stock. Having been sold out through out the United States for over a year has been hard on home owners that need this style fencing to enclose their yards and gardens.<br />
<br />
This vintage style fencing was popular to enclose cemeteries and church grounds during the middle 1900's as well as thousand of homes. This easy to install economical woven wire fencing is the perfect solution to create a boundary to define yards and keep children and animals safe from busy streets.<br />
<br />
We knew that our clients were in need of this low cost perimeter fence so we decided to have it manufactured ourselves. We will have all hands ready early Monday to unload the tractor trailer full of 3' and 4' tall rolls of this great fence. We also have a few gates that coordinate with the fencing but keep in mind the supple is very limited and won't last long.

These decorative benches add beauty to a patio or garden. They also provide a place for solitary contemplation or intimate conversation. A wrought iron bench can quickly become a favorite place to spend leisure time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Adding a child’s wrought iron bench to a patio design will make a child, grandchild or any child feel special. Rather than climbing into adult-size furniture, they will have attractive seating that is just the right size for them. A bench of their very own would be an excellent gift for a child. A child’s size bench made of durable, attractive wrought iron could easily be incorporated into a patio furniture arrangement or landscape design. It would also be an excellent addition to a garden. Children need a quiet retreat where they can read a good book or simply sit and observe nature. A bench, in their favorite color, placed in a semi-secluded location could become their favorite retreat location.<br />
<br />
A child’s wrought iron daisy bench makes an attractive and unique plant or flower stand. It would be lovely sitting on a patio with a couple of pots of colorful flowers placed on it. Ferns or other green plants with interesting textures could also be displayed on this adorable bench. A bench holding flower pots filled with brilliant flowers could be used to add a burst of color to a front porch. A landscape design could be enlivened with the addition of this attractive bench. It could be the final touch a landscape needs to make it look friendly and inviting.<br />
<br />
Wrought iron can be used indoors as well as outdoors. This beautiful bench could be added to a foyer or sunroom to give the room a touch of nostalgic beauty. A couple of stuffed animals or some vintage dolls would look adorable displayed on the bench. The whimsical daisy design on the bench makes it beautiful enough to simply be used as a decorative item without any additional adornment or purpose.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com65tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-29846419537962188782017-05-03T09:50:00.001-07:002017-05-03T09:50:57.638-07:00The Rustic Beauty of an All Metal Tiki Hut GazeboPeople everywhere are using their outdoor space as an extension of the home.

They are the perfect centerpiece for gardens and patios. Landscape designers use Fiberstone art pieces to enhance the area and give it character.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/birdbath-bella-bimmbi-22-water-feature-for-your-birds-9.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/birdbath-bella-bimmbi-22-water-feature-for-your-birds-9.gif" /></a><b>Mater</b><b>ial of Choice</b><br />
<br />
Fiberstone is a unique material that offers many advantages over cement. It is made from a mixture of fiberglass, sand, and stone. The reinforced fiberglass backing gives the planters strength while retaining their lightweight properties.<br />
<br />
<b>Lightweight</b><br />
<br />
Many planters are heavy and difficult to move from one spot to another. The Fiberstone planters, fountains, and statuary are designed for mobility. It also makes hanging the wall art easier because of the lightweight material they are made out of.<br />
<br />
<b>Outdoor Fun</b><br />
<br />
Fiberstone art is safe to use indoors or out. They are made to withstand inclement weather and will stay looking good for many years. Cold winter days feel much warmer when a statue or birdbath is a reminder of warmer days to come.<br />
<br />
<b>Indoor Décor</b><br />
<br />
Architectural Fiberstone gives any interior room a touch of class. They pair well with other pieces in the collection. Placing one in an entryway or over a fireplace adds that special touch. Many people enjoy matching them outside Fiberstone planters with inside pieces for a cohesive look. They can be stained to match any décor.<br />
<br />
<b>Stain Preference</b><br />
<br />
There are ten different color stains to choose from. The staining process is what gives them an aged antiqued stone appearance. This also ensures that the buyer is receiving a one of a kind work of art. These designs are based around historically pieces.<br />
<br />
<b>Design Concept</b><br />
<br />
Most designers use several different Fiberstone pieces to complete an area. They all go well together and set a tone that can be carried from the exterior through to the interior. Statues are very popular and come in a wide array of choices ranging from angels to animals.<br />
<br />
<b>Detailed Designs</b><br />
<br />
The details on each decorative piece follow a historical path from a bygone era without the weight. These modern day works are very affordable, which allows people to buy more than one piece of their home or business.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-61803703507695460922017-04-22T17:31:00.000-07:002017-04-22T17:31:55.904-07:00Grandmas Loop Top Yard Fence Is Almost Here<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I remember my grandmother having this fencing around her chicken yard. I had to enter to gather the eggs and would be scared to death at the turkeys that would chase me. Really I can not remember them pecking me but they were there chasing me knowing that they had the power. Or... maybe I was just too fast for them?Susan Ingramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14307731716616418686noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-53743205402673760602017-04-21T10:15:00.002-07:002017-04-21T10:15:26.706-07:0028" Wrought Iron Small Susanna Wall Basket<a href="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/28-wrought-iron-sm-suzanna-wall-basket-22.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="28" Wrought Iron Small Susanna Wall Basket" border="0" height="150" hspace="0" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/28-wrought-iron-sm-suzanna-wall-basket-22.gif" vspace="0" width="109" /></a>The avid home decorator knows the challenges in outdoor plants, especially when it comes to patios and pools.

It’s amazing what something as simple as a pair of beautiful shutters can do for your home.<br />
<br />
When you’re looking for great looking wrought iron house shutters, you’ll find several different designs from which to choose. These shutters all offer the dependability of wrought iron, but with a unique design to satisfy your personal sense of style.<br />

Make sure to check your measurements and order shutters designed to fit the height of your window. You can also find coordinated shutters for your door to help provide a unified look for your home.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-74243849539111728132017-04-20T09:36:00.000-07:002017-04-20T09:36:15.671-07:00Gorgeous Aluminum Flower Urns - Fountains<a href="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/31-hampshire-aluminum-urn-flower-pot-47.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/31-hampshire-aluminum-urn-flower-pot-47.gif" /></a>Water features can make any outdoor property "pop" and stand out in a memorable way.

Many fantastic fountains can contribute to outdoor spaces that are elegant, serene and inviting. There are just as many aluminum flower garden urns that can accomplish the same thing.<br />
<br />
People should always shop for water features that are sturdy and dependable. Water features remain outside for extended stretches of time. They're exposed to the sun and the elements on a nearly constant basis. Shoppers should prioritize water features that are made using high-quality materials. Cast aluminum is an example of a top material choice. People who want to invest in first-class water features can often benefit from flower urns that are made entirely out of casting aluminum. Cast aluminum has longevity. It can stay in great condition for decades. It can usually tolerate a lot more wear than clay, vinyl and terracotta products as well.<br />
<br />
Aluminum makes a strong material choice for a good number of reasons. It doesn't lead to unsightly rusting, first and foremost. It's a lightweight material that isn't a drag to carry around. It stays strong and beautiful for a long time. It's extremely affordable, too. People who want to steer clear of costly water features can always depend on aluminum.<br />
<br />
There are so many great options in aluminum flower planters available. These urns come in all sizes. People who have larger outdoor spaces rely on big planters. Those who have smaller outdoor spaces, at the other end of the spectrum, typically depend on medium and small-size offerings.<br />
<br />
Water features are made in many great colors as well. Shoppers can often choose between a vast range of exciting colors including nutmeg brown, classic black, moss green, granite gray, strawflower yellow, warm caramel, cinnamon, off-white, bright white and espresso brown. Aluminum water features are ideal for those who love color choices. They're also perfect for folks who don't want to have to deal with significant maintenance requirements.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-90837382491426269702017-04-09T08:13:00.002-07:002017-04-09T08:13:18.593-07:00Cast Aluminum Art Adds StyleAluminum art can be used both inside and outside a home.

Their versatility makes them the perfect accompaniment to any decor. They are also an excellent way to spruce up outdoor spaces such as patios and gardens.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Metal of Choice</b><br />
<br />
Wrought iron is one of the most popular materials for metal screens for the garden and home. Wrought iron screens are durable and made to last. They are low maintenance and weather-resistant.<br />
<br />
<b>Creativity</b><br />
<br />
Wrought iron screens get attention because of their aesthetic beauty. Designers enjoy working with them because they can let their creativity shine. They can stand alone or be mixed with other pieces for a cohesive look.<br />
<br />
<b>Intricate Designs</b><br />
<br />
Metal screens are heavy enough to withstand high winds and hold up to years of use, but the designs can be delicate. The styles range from modern to traditional and can be customized to add that personalized touch to each piece.<br />
<br />
<b>Privacy Screens</b><br />
<br />
A solution to a lack of privacy is a metal screen that can be placed in just the right place. The Tri Panel Privacy Screens are designed to section off an area. Additional decorative adornments such as ivy or flowering vines can be added for that extra touch.<br />
<br />
<b>Trellis</b><br />
<br />
Trellises are the perfect solution for plants in both vegetable and flower gardens. Vines can grab on and grow up the trellis. Even peas and beans do better when they are allowed to climb.<br />
<br />
<b>Landscaping</b><br />
<br />
Screens are a landscapers dream because they are an element that can be built around. Start with a trellis and the rest will fall into place. The plants and other landscaping materials blend well with a metal screen.<br />
<br />
<b>Welcome</b><br />
<br />
Walkways and patios can benefit from a metal screen because they welcome people in. There is a natural warm feeling that comes from wrought iron, and it gives off a great first impression. They increase the value of a home and give it curb appeal.<br />
<br />
<b>Wise Investment</b><br />
<br />
Metal screens are a wise investment for homeowners who are looking to update the outside and inside of the house. There are many different uses for these works of art.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-35082212358435854162017-03-26T20:02:00.000-07:002017-03-26T20:02:36.754-07:00The Different Types of Planters<a href="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/flower-planters-8.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Planters" border="0" class="img-responsive" height="200" hspace="0" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/rusticgarden/flower-planters-8.gif" vspace="0" width="161" /></a>While the use of planters goes back to ancient times, the different types of planters used today are not the same as those of days gone by. Planters today mostly consist of five types: ceramic and terracotta pots, urns, tiered planters, hanging baskets, and window and railing boxes. Within these five categories, you will find a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and designs to suit the style or décor of your home and garden.<br />
<br />
<b>Ceramic and Terracotta Pots</b><br />
<br />
Available in a huge variety of patterns and colors, ceramic and terracotta pots are the traditional type of planter. Because they are so porous, you can also easily decorate your ceramic or terracotta pots with paint. However, they are best for smaller plants because they tend to get heavy and you will want to take them indoors during the winter to prevent chipping or cracking. Also, if they are not sealed against moisture before being placed outdoors, this type of planter will disintegrate quickly.<br />
<br />
<b>Urns</b><br />
<br />
Though urns are more commonly made of a poly resin these days, they were once made of concrete or metal. Urns are great for decorative purposes, such as lining driveways, because they raise the plants off the ground and give people a better view of the flowers or other beautiful plants inside.<br />
<br />
<b>Hanging Baskets</b><br />
<br />
For those who have a lot of plants, extra space can be found by going up. Materials such as plastic, reed, or wire weaving give hanging baskets a natural drainage system which is great for plants that need a soil of low-to-medium moisture. The plastic baskets come with a hanger attached, while the reed and wire baskets usually require you to provide your hanger.<br />
<br />
<b>Tiered Planters</b><br />
<br />
Wall-mounted or placed to rest against the wall, tiered planters can be very decorative by nature. They have several small shelves that can hold young plants. Tiered planters can become a conversation starter and make any room look more attractive.<br />
<br />
<b>Window and Railing Boxes</b><br />
<br />
Usually, either wooden or plastic and rectangular, most window and railing boxes are securely mounted with screws. Others straddle the railing snugly without screws, allowing you to move them as needed for watering, better sunlight, and replanting. Great for vegetables, herbs, or flowers, you can put almost any plant in a window or railing box.<br />
<br />
Planters used to simply be a round pot that you place a plant in. These days, there are so many different types of planters that it makes choosing the right planter a difficult task. From hanging to railing planters, from round to rectangle, and from tiny to extra-large, the variety of planters is staggering. Hopefully, this article will help make finding the right planter to suit your needs easier.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-65402516983708151332017-03-20T09:14:00.002-07:002017-03-20T09:14:56.197-07:00Wrought Iron Garden Edging Fence<b>The Importance of Wrought Iron Garden Edging Fence For Lawns and Gardens</b><br />

She takes antique decorative ceiling tins from the Victorian era with natural motifs such as leaves, trees and fruits and transforms them into modern wall art. She often arranges these tins into wall collages on raised panels, creating greater depth to the piece.

<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Lori Daniel’s sculpted wall art has been described as modern bas relief sculpture in which she paints and glazes the solid reliefs. This requires an intricate balance of chemical conditions to create the vibrant color of the final artwork and no two pieces come out exactly the same. When in the process of glazing, temperature and humidity play a role, as well as the condition of the relief itself. When finished, these glazed tins can have upwards of ten layers of paint and glaze on them. Some of her work is in tile form and some is arranged into collages that can perfectly accent a wall and make the surrounding space pop with color and depth.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Her work, “Fire Fall 1,” is an example of a tile-shaped collage full of red, yellow and brown fall colors painted and glazed to give the impression of the vibrant fall season.

From the stash of carved pumpkins you put at the door for Halloween to the wreath made of hearts for Valentine’s Day, your decorations play a vital role in your celebrations.<br />
<br />
Not sure what kinds of decor are out there? Usually, holiday lawn decor is designed specifically to fit into the motifs of each given holiday. For example, your Thanksgiving decorations will probably feature a harvest theme, which could include cornstalks, pumpkins and gourds, and turkeys. Christmas items usually feature a manger, angels, Christmas trees, or snowmen. Valentine's Day brings hearts and roses. And at Easter, you'll see your fair share of beautiful eggs, rabbits, and colorful baskets.<br />
<br />
Additionally, each holiday item will be made of specific types of materials. Wood, wrought iron, plastic, and fabric count as just some of the materials you’ll find. Choose the type of material that best fits your home's architectural style as well as your personal style.<br />
<br />
Finally, it’s best to plan your decor ahead of time. Not only will you need to look at your budget, but you’ll also want to assess how much time you have for upkeep. The best decorations for you won’t break the bank and may not require a lot of upkeep after they’re put up.<br />
<br />
Remember that when you’re decorating your front lawn for each holiday, you want the look to be complete. Don’t forget to search for decorations for your windows, your sidewalks, and your front porch. In fact, when planning out your displays, it might be helpful for you to make a sketch of where you want each item to go. Be sure to pencil in any particulars about each item as you add it to your planning chart such as price, dimensions, whether it’s part of a set, etc.<br />
<br />
This gives you a visual representation of how each will look in your yard. It’ll also tell you if you’re staying on budget, while still allowing you to express your tastes and individuality.<br />

An assortment of designs and varieties available creates a truly customized aspect to yards and gardens.<br />
<br />
Garden signs include an array of uses. An average utilization is to differentiate between distinct spaces, such as a vegetable patch or a rose garden. Metal signs stand the test of time and are more weather-proof, but ceramic signs can add a touch of elegance or burst of brightness that might be desired for added contrast to natural-colored foliage. There are a variety of other materials to consider for garden signs as well.<br />
<br />
Signs may also be used in personalization of a curated gardening space. Customized signs can introduce or welcome others to a vegetable patch or a herb garden, indicating who planted it or tends to it daily. Plant identification signs work as botanical markers that blend well into the landscape, preserving the garden's natural beauty.<br />
<br />
A garden stake is an excellent way to add some variety to an otherwise linear landscape design. Providing height, and something interesting to look at, stakes serve several purposes apart from aesthetics.<br />
<br />
Garden stakes fitted with hooks can be the perfect place to hang a bird house or feeder. Some stakes are equipped with hanging solar lights that allow illuminated pathways to be created throughout a garden or along a fence line.<br />
<br />
Sturdier, more durable garden stakes are used for hanging heavy plants with cascading features. Series of hardier stakes can be used for vining plants to create naturally beautiful trellises.<br />
<br />
Decorative stakes can make for a unique, artistic statement that can distinguish a garden from others. Sizes and shapes vary, but there are decorative stakes that can complement any decorative scheme imaginable for garden landscaping.<br />
<br />
Garden signs & stakes serve a host of different landscaping purposes both in form and function. Providing a multitude of different styles and designs, these garden supplements will effortlessly enhance any outdoor space.Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018344738535424090.post-57001420054512606572017-01-27T21:41:00.002-08:002017-01-27T21:41:41.820-08:00Interesting Primitive & Country Antiques<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-scxK3h_nil8/WIwvEegK5iI/AAAAAAAAGhE/xEdUmcNP-jggYedK2b0FHGF-kyEQzel7ACLcB/s1600/vintage-shutters-2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-scxK3h_nil8/WIwvEegK5iI/AAAAAAAAGhE/xEdUmcNP-jggYedK2b0FHGF-kyEQzel7ACLcB/s1600/vintage-shutters-2.gif" /></a>Antiques can add a lot of charm to any home interior.
