The great thing about "print" is that most of us who truly love rustic, vintage, western, and just plain decorating ideas, tricks, and hints will hang on to a magazine until the cover wears off! The photo to the left caught my eye from Country Home Dec 06/Jan 07 edition. The vintage wooden chair is revived with "neck ties" instead of the traditional wooden or lattice seat. Thoughts ran through my mind, what would I use - cowboy print fabric, leather, or something else more western? What about western neck ties? That would be a fabulous answer to resolve issues of too many ties that you can't part with.
Take a closer look at the this vintage chair, what a great way to reestablish an old chair that would be consider trash by placing something of treasure to you. What treasures do you have packed away that you can't find a way to display them? If they are treasures, why not display them in a useful manner that will serve to provide not only memories, but also provide functionality to you and your family. Recently, my dad passed away so I thought that I could use his jeans that I kept and make a lattice seat for one of my chairs or maybe several. It will serve as a means to provide honor and memories of my dad and also enrich the decor of my home.
Whatever you do, make it memorable for you and your family - above all enjoy decorating and living in your vintage and western decor home.
As always, H&M Valley Ranch would be more than happy to help you create this project. If you need us to complete the project for you, we can do that as well!
