Country Antiques Make Rustic Home Decor
Check 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.
Wooden Ladder are a Hit With Retail Display
Over the past several years A Rustic Garden has had success selling antique wooden ladders to Pottery Barn, Levi Strauss, Ralph Lauren and many others to use to display their products. This year is no exception with the recent order from Bloomingdale’s for 33 seven rung ladders to ship all over the United States.
Rustic ladders are such a versatile item that are being used in every room of the house. Our customers use them for towels, pots, magizines, quilts and the latest use is to store high heel shoes. 
Check us out to see a vintage ladder that will help organize your clutter.
Decorating Your Barn with Stars
If you haven’t spent much time around barns, you may or may not be aware of what a barn star is. But if you have been exposed to farm and barn life, it’s more than likely that you’ve come across these decorative and interesting products. Barn stars are objects that come in a wide variety of sizes and decoration. Whether painted or made of cast iron, they are used to decorate a barn. However, they add no structural value to the building.
Rather, they are often considered to be lucky. In this way, they are somewhat akin to hanging a horseshoe in your home or over any given doorway. Common among German-American communities, some believe these barn stars are used as the particular mark or hallmark of a particular builder. Because they don’t add any structural support or integrity to the building, they are often added after the fact of construction.
