A wine rack will hold a few bottles of wine and make an interesting display for your bar area indoors or outside. Keep your wine on the wall for easy access while entertaining.
Rustic wrought iron wine racks will fit any decor plus insure a sturdy holder for you valuble selections.
Consider a Wine Bottle tree for the colorful empties to accent your gardens.
Finding Unique Home Decor
With chain stores being the most popular shopping spots for consumers it is sometimes hard to find unique home decor. There are still a few shoppers that prefer to decorate with unusual one of a kind antique pieces of funiture made in the 1800’s.
This antique oak ledge front cupboard is a manufactured piece but does date back to the 1890’s. Not many left to find in this excellent condition. Furniture is my passion and I continue to search for different examples to sell on our web site A Rustic Garden.
Keeping Cool in the Summer Heat

As the weather gets warmer, it can be downright unbearable in the house when you get home from work. With all the windows and doors closed all day, the hot air only builds and accumulates in the house, and that can make sitting in the house very unpleasant. For that reason, you want to make sure that you’ve invested in a proper air conditioning system. This can either be a fully automated system or something as rudimentary as a stationary fan.
If that doesn’t work to cool down the house, though, make sure that you throw open a door or window in your home once you get home. Even if the air outside is still hot, having the door or window open will encourage air circulation. This can do wonders to drastically reduce the interior temperature of the house. If you find, however, that the door keeps slamming shut with the wind, use a cast iron door stop. It will be a decorative and easy way to ensure you can keep cool from the comfort of your home even in the most severe summer weather.
Add Hanging Baskets
You can add hanging baskets anywhere to add color to your outdoor living. I hang wrought iron baskets lined with moss to my pergola but always add a few shade loving flower baskets under my tree.
A Rustic Garden has a huge selection of baskets that can hang from your outdoor walls or sit on your porch or patio. Consider a shabby chic white iron product that will contrast with the moss for added interest.
