			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN"><a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/search?search_for=hickory" title="Amish Hickory Furniture"><img width="446" src="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hickorychair.jpg" alt="hickorychair.jpg" height="516" style="width: 305px; height: 278px" />Amish Hickory furniture </a>in the Log cabin themed home is as much about a lifestyle as a design style. The creation of this interior design may be the simplest and most economical interior design for you to capture because of its use of found natural items as decoration and the use of quality investment pieces from the Amish. Using organic furniture and natural elements as accessory tools you will achieve the native and outdoor feeling of the Log Cabin lifestyle; a lifestyle that showcases the beauty and functionality of native hardwoods.</span><span lang="EN"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN">The Amish create furniture for your rustic Log Cabin style dwelling from red or white oak, walnut &amp; cherry accentuated by the deciduous <span lang="EN">hickory tree. Like the Amish community, the Cabin home hosts an atmosphere of simplicity, hospitality and gracious living. The Log Cabin interior is a home that demands when you walk inside the door you slow down and relax. It is a home that friends and family love to gather in, spinning memories as they gather round an Amish crafted red oak and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/rustic-furniture/p/hhf-24bs-barstool" title="Amish-Furniture-Home.com Pub Table">hickory pub table and bar stools</a>. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN"><span lang="EN"></span></span><span lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN"><span lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN">Mixing antiques throughout your cabin home helps bring personality while the Amish rustic furniture brings character. Use heirlooms from the past alongside your new Amish heirloom furniture. Worn, painted pieces blended with the high quality Amish Log Cabin hickory bring a storyline to your room. Birch bark picture frames highlighting your family gatherings sitting atop a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/rustic-furniture/p/heritage-4-drawer-hickory-chest" title="Amish-Furniture-Home.com">chest</a> made of walnut with hickory twig accents say more than you can about the life you lead. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN"><span lang="EN"></span></span><span lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN"><span lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN">The bounty of nature is captured by Amish woodworkers in the hand made solid wood creations for the Log Cabin lifestyle. The use of comfortable accessories such as quilts, denim pillows, flannel throw blankets and leather upholstery make the room wrap around and hug you in its atmosphere. From fireplace to candle light, the Log Cabin longs for the warming glow of either. Adding elements like fishing poles, hiking boots and fishing creels take the guest on a journey far from the every day. River rocks, wildlife depictions, wrought iron chandeliers, and found items that depict the wilderness you love are essential for the creation of your own personal camp.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/double-bow-bed.jpg" title="Double Bow Bed"><img align="left" src="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/double-bow-bed.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Double Bow Bed" /></a>One of the most popular decorating styles today is rustic. Rustic style is relaxed and cozy, texturally interesting, and quite sophisticated if done correctly. It’s more than just putting a bunch of old stuff into a room, it’s more about bringing the outdoors in, giving new life to old furniture, and creating a space that is warm and inviting. So, consider some of these tips when decorating in a rustic style.</p>
<p>1. Rustic doesn’t mean trashy or junky, it means giving a room that charming cabin look by filling it with beloved or interesting pieces that have the appearance of age.</p>
<p>2. Rustic decorating is all about wooden furniture that has that handmade look to it.</p>
<p>3. In a bedroom, start with a good, solid, hardwood bed with a large headboard and footboard decorated with spindles, posts, or a canopy.</p>
<p>4. Add some accent pieces, like rustic wooden <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/night-stands/page/1"><u><font color="#0000ff">nightstands</font></u></a>, an old coat tree, a <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/floor-clocks"><u><font color="#0000ff">floor clock</font></u></a>, a rocking chair, side tables, or an old <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/cedar-chests"><u><font color="#0000ff">cedar chest</font></u></a> to the foot of the bed.</p>
<p>5. In the living room use wooden furniture pieces that have <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/arm-chairs"><u><font color="#0000ff">leather</font></u></a> cushions or neutral colored fabrics. Add several pillows to soften the look of the wood.</p>
<p>6. In the kitchen or dining room, start with a rustic looking <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/dining-room-tables"><u><font color="#0000ff">wooden table</font></u></a> and place a large vase of wildflowers in the center. Add some rustic iron lamps or art pieces.</p>
<p>7. Bring the outdoors in by using outdoor furniture pieces in unique ways inside. Incorporate a garden arbor into doorways or use <a href="http://www.amish-furniture-home.com/browse-by-category/benches"><u><font color="#0000ff">benches</font></u></a> instead of chairs around a table.</p>
<p>8. Bring in a lot of vinery, such as ivy, to give your home a natural feel. Use plenty of old pottery and let vines spill out of them or use fake foliage to accent mirrors or doorways.</p>
<p>9. Rustic rooms use a more natural color scheme of whites, beiges, browns, greens, or pastels. Keep the colors muted and aged looking for the best rustic looking style.</p>
<p>10. Don’t overdo it! You can accent any room in a rustic style by adding a few baskets, a large vase filled with old branches, a weather-worn mirror, or a rustic style rocking chair.</p>
