Rustic Chic Farmhouse Crafts

Right now, the rage in decorating is farmhouse style. I have always been a fan of this rustic chic way of decorating.

A neutral palette with warm, rustic accessories make a room especially comfortable which basically defines a farmhouse.

Ideas For Upcycled Home Decor

Lately, when I shop for home decor, I look more at flea markets, scrap yards and antique stores  than I do actual home interior stores.  The things that I find interesting are rustic or industrial type items that add some fun character to the rest of my decor. Most of the items are pretty random and unusual but what they have in common is interesting texture, shape or color.  Many of my finds could be otherwise forgotton and useless but as upcycled home decor they get a new life with maybe even a story or two.

I have quite a large stack of paperback books that I have been needing to donate or use. Because I love books, I have a hard time getting rid of them.

For Fall decorating, I thought it would be fun to try a DIY book page pumpkin.
