Before you begin searching through the rustic chairs on rusticfurniturepro.com, here is some need-to-know information.

Pricing

When you’re talking authentic handcrafted rustic chairs, let us be frank. You aren’t talking cheap. However, as the old saying goes, “you get what you pay for.” This is true. If you want to get a chair that might break the next time one of your friends sits in it, then go ahead and spend $50 on one some mass produced, out-of-the-box chair. But for quality, reliability, and overall aesthetic appeal, you’re going to pay a bit more. Price range: $350-$1000+

Shipping

You’re probably worried about how much it will cost to ship one of those solid wood rustic chairs. Don’t. Just make your purchase at rusticfurniturepro.com and pay no shipping costs.

Variety

When some people think of rustic chairs, they have a very specific image in mind. But in reality, there are tons to choose from. From solid diamond backs to the semi-modern Quorum, these things can fit a much broader range of tastes than you might imagine.

The following takes you on a journey through a few types of rustic furniture you might want to get for your home.

Rustic Beds

Let’s face it—we spend a lot of time in our bedrooms. Whether fast asleep or hanging out and reading a book, don’t you want your bedroom décor to be enjoyable? It can be exactly that when you opt for a rustic bed. Think sturdy wood and wagon wheels.

Rustic Coffee Tables

Another type of rustic furniture to consider would be rustic coffee tables. Why a coffee table? Well, often it’s the centerpiece of your living room. The focal point. That said, it’s important that choose it wisely as it will set the tone for the entire room.

Rustic Swings

Who says you can only go rustic inside? Imagine sitting on the porch with your wife on a breezy day, rocking back and forth on a rustic swing. These handcrafted beauties are so much better than what you’d find in the garden section of one of those department stores.

With Easter only a few days away I thought it would be fun to share a classic Easter delight from our Rustic Furniture Pro family to yours. When it comes to Easter, there are a few foods that are an absolute must have.

First you have the ham with the tasty and slightly crunchy glaze, the centerpiece of the Easter dinner table. Then of course you have to have some sort of potatoes. Whether they are baked, mashed or even some sort of casserole, potatoes are a must. Then you need some sort of veggies, perhaps a green bean casserole and a fresh green salad. Since its spring I like for my Easter salad to have a lot of fresh fruits like strawberries, pineapple, apples, oranges and blueberries. I like to mix up the dressing and offer guests more fruity choices like strawberry dressings. The salad is always so fresh and colorful! And of course we cannot forget the rolls! Well, those are my must haves for Easter and I am looking forward to feasting on everything this weekend.

Easter would not be complete without lots of sugary sweets. You must have lots of Easter eggs filled with all types of candy and jelly beans to act as little Easter eggs in your arrangements and décor. Then do not forget the chocolate bunnies! Another Easter must, as well as robin’s eggs. You also may want to have some Cadbury eggs scattered about for guests to enjoy. And for the main dessert this year, we are having a cross cake to celebrate the Resurrection as well as banana pudding.

There is one more Easter classic that I have yet to mention to all of you rustic furniture lovers out there and that is Deviled Eggs! This Easter make sure that someone has the Deviled Eggs covered for your family and friends.

Every year my sisters and I bring deviled eggs to our family Easter celebration. Last year we decided to take a little creative liberty on the deviled eggs and I am not sure it was very successful. You see we got the ‘great’ idea to die the deviled egg mixture before filling the hardboiled eggs. We had yellow (obviously), pink, orange, blue purple and green deviled egg filling. We filled all of the hard boiled egg halves and put them on a platter with Easter grass. We were all pretty excited about our new take on deviled eggs and could not wait to show the family. Unfortunately, they were not impressed and were actually a little grossed out by our concoction calling them dinosaur eggs instead. This year we have a new idea which I think is much cuter and will be more appetizing than purple deviled eggs.

Did you realize that you spend about 33 percent of your life sleeping? That said, it’s a good idea to make sure your bedroom is decorated in a style that you truly love. To create a sense of peace and old-timey tranquility, look into various available options for rustic beds.

What sort of rustic beds are out there? Here’s a small sampling of what you can get when you go through Rustic Furniture Pro:

1. King Size Cabazon Bed—It’s rugged, it’s teak, and it’s recycled. Handcrafted out of actual fence posts, you are sure to rest on this bed as you revisit the “good old days.”
2. Wagon Wheel Bunk Bed—Your kids can enjoy rustic beds as well. They will be ready to cowboy up every single day with their “new” bunks made from wagon wheels.
3. Queen Diamondback Rustic Beds—Good for your master bedroom or even a guest room. Traditional, yet rustic. And who wouldn’t want diamonds inlaid on their headboard?

I have talked about a lot of different types of rustic accessories to use throughout the home and your outdoor living space. There are all types from colorful pillows and throws to candles, wall art and glass vases. The list of accessories is endless and will allow you to add personality and charm to your home. Another big accessory that I think is a must have for homes are plants and flowers. Not only do plants and flowers add color, but they also add life to a room. Just like when you are shopping for the perfect pillow for you space, your choices and variety are endless when it comes to plants and flowers. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

I love plants, but I will admit, I just do not have a green thumb. In fact, typically when I try to grow plants I usually kill them. I will try so hard to care of a plant, and almost inevitably I will kill the poor little guy.

Lately my husband has been giving me flower arrangements. I guess he picked up on the fact that my thumb is far from green. But, yesterday he decided to give me another chance with a new plant.

Accessories Your Rustic Furniture

A long time ago while we were still dating he wanted to add some life to my Rustic Furniture Pro office with a plant. He bought me a Ponytail Palm and mailed it to me while he was busy outside of the country. I instantly fell in love with that Ponytail Palm and I thought my Rustic Furniture Pro office would be the perfect home for my new plant!

I took the plant there and cared for it and sure enough it began to grow. These plants can live for quite a long time and can grow to somewhere around five feet tall. My intentions were to grow this plant up and have it for years to come. Well, one day I was watering my palm and the whole trunk began disintegrating. I mean it completely fell apart right in front of me, and I was devastated.  

Well, yesterday my husband shows up to work with none other than a new plant in a very colorful vase. It is perfect for my office and I love the punch of color the vase provides. The yellow looks great up against the rustic furniture.  I think it is the perfect addition to my desk and my husband made sure that this plant was easy to maintain and did not need direct sunlight. So, here goes to another attempt to raise a plant. I currently am trying to grow two avocado trees at my home. So far, they are two seeds in glasses of water…

So, if you are looking for an easy way to add some color and live to your living space, think about accenting your rustic furniture with some beautiful plants! Wishing you all great success!

Rustic Rocking Chairs for Your Outdoor Living Space

Happy spring to all of you rustic furniture lovers out there! Now that the weather is beautiful we are all spending a lot more time outside. We are working on our flowerbeds. Some of us are tackling a garden for the first time. Others are re-sodding to make our lawns beautiful and green. Whatever we are all doing it probably involves being outside and getting our hands dirty. Once we beautify our front and back yards, it will be time to focus on our outdoor living spaces.

Outdoor living spaces have grown in popularity over there years. People are spending more of their free time outdoors. People are truly investing in their outdoor living spaces. They are becoming another room to the home.

There are several different types of outdoor living spaces that people create to enjoy the great outdoors. They can range from very simple to completely over the top. It all depends on your vision, space size and the good old budget. Some people just want a simple outdoor space where they can sit and enjoy a glass of lemonade or a cold beer. For this type of space consider rocking chairs and a few side tables. If you are creating a fire pit area then consider Adirondack chairs or crescent shaped benches.

If you want to take your outdoor living space to another level, consider an outdoor dining set. You will be able to entertain all spring and summer in your outdoor dining and kitchen area. Rustic Furniture Pro offers a wide variety of dining tables that can be used indoors and outdoors. There are only a few tables that we do not suggest be used outdoors due to long planking. However, our wagon wheel tables, bistro tables and other pieces are a perfect match for the outdoors considering they are all made of reclaimed teak wood. So, enjoy setting up a dining table for all of your family and friends. Suddenly your evening dinners will become more fresh and exciting as you enjoy your meals outdoors. You will also most likely start grilling more now that you are outdoors.

Another fun option is to create an outdoor bar. If you have a pool it is especially nice to create an outdoor living bar space. Depending on the size of your space you can add a bar, barstools, bistro tables and more to create the perfect space for fun.

 So, this spring get creative and enjoy your outdoor living space. You will be amazed at what rearranging a few rustic furniture pieces can do for your outdoor living spaces. Once you have decided on what type of space you want, fill it with handcrafted rustic furniture made to be outdoors. Then add in some fresh greenery, flowers, colorful pillows and cushions to create a warm and inviting space to relax and enjoy!

Rustic Furniture Pro's Arabella Chair

The Rustic Furniture Pro team is all about meeting your rustic furniture needs. We will do whatever it takes to help you create the perfect home, ranch, cabin, lakehouse or outdoor living space. So, you can shop with us knowing that we will meet your rustic furniture needs. There are several ways were are here to serve you. Today I am going to focus on four of the ways Rustic Furniture Pro is here to meet your needs.

1. Will you be using your new piece(s) of furniture outdoors?

If you are using your furniture outdoors let one of our Rustic Furniture Pro team members know. If we are aware that your new furniture will be going outdoors we will prepare the furniture and apply a special outdoor polyurethane application to each piece. This application will allow for your finish to last outdoors longer. If you want to maintain the finish your furniture arrives with, then keep up with simple maintenance to maintain the rustic furniture’s color. You can apply more coats of polyurethane as the furniture begins to turn. So, next time you order from Rustic Furniture Pro, let us know if your furniture will be used outdoors. There is no additional charge for this service. We simply want your furniture to be the best it can be!

2. Do you like our custom stain?

Here at Rustic Furniture Pro, we pride ourselves on our custom rich brown stain. It brings out the variety of colors within the reclaimed teak wood and it highlights teak’s wood grain. We care about our stain so much that we take the time and care to stain each piece. Pretty much everyone who buys our rustic furniture is in love with the stain.  However, sometimes customers have a need for a lighter color teak or just simply want bare teak furniture. Whatever your needs are let us know. We are here to help!

3. Do you need customizations?

Sometimes we have customers who fall in love with a particular piece, but may need a few customizations to make it work for their home. For example, we currently have a customer that has fallen in love with a table. However, it is a bit too big for their space, so they have asked us to customize it. So, let us know what we can do to help you get the rustic furniture you want and love!

4. Do you need some custom upholstery? 

One of the other things that Rustic Furniture Pro does for you is upholstery. I have clients who absolutely love the teak furniture but ask if they can get the chair, barstool, bench upholstered. We love upholstery at Rustic Furniture Pro as well. We are ready and able to upholster all different types of pieces within our line. So, feel free to ask us about upholstery options. With our custom upholstery, you can provide us with the materials if you have a specific fabric, leather or hide you want to use, or we can provide leathers and hides. When it comes to upholstery, we work with you to help create the perfect pieces for your home.

At Rustic Furniture Pro we are all about helping you get the rustic furniture you need and want. We hope you enjoy your shopping experience with us!
