Author: susan ingram

We have lots of antique wooden ladders that vary in color so we are able to find a ladder that matches the shelves. The primitive shelving pictured is made of two, 2-rung ladders. The height and width could be altered as well as picking wider ladders and cutting them a little longer. Let us know what your needs are and we can work to find just the right shelf unit.

I am finding the best products to add that country feel to your home. We have just added handmade furniture that we can get in several different worn antique painted finishes. Accent rugs are a must to cosy up your living spaces and my personal favorite is the historical looking hooked rugs but we also have beautiful braided rugs in every size.

To complete your decorating you must add just the right amount of light. and in our line of wrought iron home decor you will find traditional lighting to round off that country living feel.

So Much to Decide and So Little Space

When you think of all the unique wrought iron wall decor that is available today to decorate your walls I find that I always lean toward Country Antiques. My family has just purchased a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks and rustic home decor is the direction we are going. It is so easy since I have a business that has 1000’s of rustic antique items to choose from. I usually end up wanting more space to decorate so I don’t have to make the decisions regarding what fun items make the cut.

These  1890 year old shutters have their old original blue paint and the metal wall art is constructed from vintage ceiling tin removed from 1900 era buildings. Architectural Antiques are being recycled into home decor by decorators everywhere.

Well that would work if the weather were not so very cold. I am seeing my last years plantings that need trimmed back peeking up through the snow but don’t have the incentive to go out in the 20 degree IL temps to trim them.

Being patient is another part of gardening. The rewards will come soon enough. Maybe it would be best to use this time rearranging my collectibles that are displayed on my vintage wooden ladder

Antique wooden ladders are a great way to go GREEN. Every day we get orders from our customers needing a wood ladder to recycle to display the things they love. No need to cut a new tree. These ladders are from the middle 1900’s and their worn surface shows the history of times past.

The primitive aged look is the very reason that they are so popular now.

Country Antiques Make Rustic Home Decor

blueshCheck out these great original blue wooden shutters. We just decorated our lake house and hung a pair on the wall for unique rustic home decor.

They have curved tops that would have fit the late 1800 windows that they were removed from. That home is long gone but these were saved and stored in the barn.
