Rustic Outdoor Furniture!
Comments (10)Not just wood and screws but memories waiting to happen!!! I hope that rocker sees many many hours, days, and years of rocking babies and creating contentment. The chairs will help host lots of gatherings outside away from TV's and Telephones. Many private talks, times to meditate, a place to set your lemonaid and share a sandwich. Those pieces are truly treasures and become part of your family's "story". Enjoy...See Moreanybody have any experience/info on Mexican Rustic Furniture?
Comments (0)I'm shopping for bedroom furniture on a budget. I keep coming across sites for Mexican rustic furniture. The price is often right, and I like the look of some of the pieces, though many are too rustic for me. According to the sites, the pieces are made of kiln dried pine, and finished with beeswax (briwax?) I know little about furniture. I was just wondering if anyone has any experienc with or knowledge of this kind of furniture. Some of my main questions are 1)do the drawers work well? Will the insides be rough? 2)What's the maintenance of waxed furniture? 3) Is the quality good compared to other furniture of similar prices? It may be that the quality varies greatly in Mexican Rustic. Still I thought I'd post to see if any of you know anything about it. Thanks. Bill...See MoreGood priced online store for rustic furniture
Comments (2)Not really. I go to Mexico and have it made, or get DH to build it for me. But here is some rustic furniture eye candy to get everyone drooling. Here is a link that might be useful: Rustic barnwood furniture to die for...See MoreNeed a basement transformation miracle
Comments (30)I would not do too much in the way of painting or building anything for this space. You have a limited amount of time to get the project done and stressing over building things and/or painting is going to be overwhelming. As someone suggested a large carpet remnant in a light color would be fine for the floor. You could even get a pretty throw rug to go near the bed or dressing area for interest. Relocate the items on the metal shelving unit and put some pretty baskets on it for your mom to use for her folded items. You can add an extra blanket and magazines in a couple of the baskets. Get a rack for her to hang her clothes on. I'm guessing you need to buy a bed too? If so, a twin bed will be fine for one person, but a full size would be even better as it could help take up some of the space. Behind the bed, I would hang an inexpensive quilt to fill in the headboard area. Not being a huge fan of fake plants, in this situation I think an artificial ficus tree in the corner would soften up the area. Keep one of the wooden chairs for her to use near her dressing area (maybe put a decorative pillow on it). You could hang some sheets or curtains from the ceiling beams to close in the space and give an extra feeling of privacy, but a couple of room screens would be easy and attractive too. I wouldn't worry about doing anything with the overhead lighting. Just put a couple of lamps on some bedside tables and that should be sufficient (at least one three way lamp would be good). You can get decorator tables with the table cloths inexpensively at Walmart. I would stick with light colors for the bedding and fabrics. Make the bed as luxurious as you can afford...that would make my mom so much happier than paint on the wall. I hope you enjoy working on this space. I'm sure whatever you accomplish will be wonderful and your mom will enjoy it....See Morerockypointdog
