Cabin Bedding


Cabin bedding
If you are looking to decorate your new country weekend getaway home, then consider decorating your bedroom with a cabin bedding style. If you have ever visited the Smokey National Forest in Tennessee, and rented a log cabin then you know how the rustic look of distressed pine or oak furniture can really set the mood for country living. These unique furniture offerings usually have hand carved wildlife images such as bears and mountain landscapes. This will bring the price up quite a bit since each piece is unique and is more of an art form than a traditional piece of furniture. The craftsmanship is typically a notch higher than factory made pieces, and will last longer as well.
The materials vary widely with this type of décor and can be as rustic looking as you like. Beds frames can be had that are totally made from logs that match your interior walls. You can also choose from a combination of iron and wood beds that usually have an artistic metal collage at the head of the bed depicting a scene from nature. Just like any other bedroom suit, you can find matching nightstands, dressers, and armoire wardrobe closets.
If you are having your cabin built then check with your builder to see if they know local craftsmen that can build your furniture from the same stock as your cabin is being built from. This will give off a look like the traditional settlers had since they not only had to build their own homes but the furniture inside it as well. Be prepared to pay top dollar for this type of custom build, but it will be worth it when everything is finished and you move into your new cabin.
Hickory is also a unique selection of wood for your cabin bedding style selection. Since Pine and Oak are in the mainstream of mass-produced rustic furniture this will be a welcomed distinction in any home. Usually hickory has to be kiln or oven dried to a specific moisture level and then coated in a clear lacquer to protect the wood for decades of use. You may have to reapply the lacquer every decade or so to insure complete protection, as it wears off with use over time.
Remember this is an investment and not something that you will likely change out every few years, so make sure you can live with the custom designs and décor that you have chosen. Typically this furniture will outlive conventional furniture for the sole reason that is for a weekend getaway or vacation home, which is not used on a daily basis.
