Guest Picks: Welcome to The Wild West
Western decorating is a look that designers have long neglected, but now it’s back and better than ever! This is one timeless style that is sure to be enjoyed by family, friends — even your wallet. The older and more aged your furniture gets, the more character it has. And the more character, the better. Think roughed-out leather couches, cowhide rugs, aged wooden furniture and a garnish of equestrian flair. Before you know it, your guests will be greeting you with, “Howdy”! — Suzy from Better Decorating Bible

Handmade Vintage Oak Whiskey Barrel Coffee Table - $795.00 »

Butler Accent Table 27.75H in. - Mountain Lodge - $559.00 »
This is one noticeable piece of furniture! I love this side table because it’s so different, and it immediately gives off a rustic look that breaks the rules of decorating. With three lever-action rifles, brass studs, and a rough, wooden top, it certainly will be the talk of any room.

I love Western decor because you can throw in exciting pieces like Native American prints, cowboy art and horse tack.
