9 June 2010- Rustic home decor was always there since primitive times.
However, it was not known as any "home decor" theme at that time.
It was the natural way of living for people- they did not have sophisticated
tools and techniques to make more refined wood furniture. So, they used wood
in raw form- in the form of logs- to make furniture. Then gradually, wood
furniture (like all other things) improved and many different
types of wood were introduced in place of
logs to make furniture. However, as has been the historical trend, man
always goes back to his origin. Recently, there has been a shift towards
country home decor and what's the best way other then using log furniture
for such rustic home decor!
