Is there anything more relaxing than being surrounded by rustic decor? There is a serene Walden Pond aspect to rustic decor that harkens back to our nations roots and fragile notion of personal freedom from the iron hand of a large totalitarian bureaucracy. At one time in this country the average person could afford to buy a modest lake front cabin and fill it with rustic decor. Now people have to work multiple part time jobs just to get by. Socialism does not work. At least nowhere near as well as the capitalist system that lifted individuals from the grips of poverty to the elevated status of a comfortable middle class. No system is perfect, but nothing even comes close to capitalism in terms of helping the average person. And that average person may want to be able to afford some rustic decor. Decorating with rustic decor does not have to break the bank. You can get an actual antique crate label for about the price of a couple cups of coffee at Starbucks. Crate labels are suitable for framing and an easy way to decorate. House numbers and light switch plates are another way to add rustic decor without spending a lot. For those with more to work with there are some great rustic decor light fixtures for cabin, ranch, or lodge that are the epitome of good taste. Consider them. Artisan made hand wrought iron fireplace tools are another rustic decor item that add a lot of ambience and will still be around in a hundred years.
