Rustic Decor for your Mountain Cabin
You have just bought that cozy mountain home, or you want to bring some of that mountain log home feel back home with you, consider decorating a room or your whole house in a mountain cabin motif.
Bringing the solitude of nature into your home is the idea behind this new mountain trend and it is catching on like wildfire. Rustic lighting and furniture is all the rave right now. Black bear decor or an antler chandelier will add a whimsy feel to any mountain home. Having the lodge look is as easy as a click of the mouse. You can find rustic cottage furniture for the bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living areas and even your outdoor patio. Made of natural woods such as pine, or cedar, many pieces can be painted with designs of country scenery, animals or birds. Others have a mixture of wrought iron & metal art in the shape of leaves and stems creating an outdoor feel to any room.
A large rectangular table made of cedar or pine would be great for your kitchen or dining room table. Add a wrought-iron or metal chandelier as a focal point to provide vintage lighting for that lodge decor style home. Accent your kitchen or dining room by displaying rustic dinnerware, using antler door pulls or an adding an iron leaf baker's rack in the corner. Use open shelving in the rustic country kitchen to display plates, dishes and dinnerware collections.
Iron and stain glass lighting in your living room can bring some of that old world charm into your country style home. Use wicker baskets to hold firewood, or decorate with pine cones, or dried flowers or old bird houses to bring the outdoors in. Kerosene, oil, or hurricane lamps, and lanterns, also adds to that old timely feel. Throw a handmade quilt over an old chair or use an old travel trunk for a table, covered with lace doilies or old fabric that reminds you of a happy childhood. Think of things from your past that make you smile and remember a simpler time.
Use neutral earth tones and natural colors to accent your rustic cabin look. Barn Red, blues and greens add that subtle comfort, helping you create a calm and elegant atmosphere. Bear or Moose decor curtains or throws add that nature accent to finish off that country cabin look.
Whether you live in the country, a wooded mountain cabin, or an inner city setting you can lose yourself in the beauty of the mountains everyday by decorating in a mountain decor to enhance the beauty and warmth of your country home.

Is there any demand for handmade jewllery and crafts?
I live in the country with 4 children and they have inspired me through some of their own ideas whilst drawing or my eldest making jewellery, I thought of having a small shed like cabin in the garden which I could sell jewllery and hand painted post cards,hanging mobiles painted stones etc, I am artistic and painting is my strong point, the idea came to me when my neighbour had forgot to buy a birthday present and her sister was coming round that day so she got the kids to paint a stone and put her name on it. Do you think it would be worth it? as i'm not sure of the demand for this stuff as supermarkets sell everything.
Worth it?... In what way? Monetarily? I can't answer that as I have not seen your wares.. If you make something of high quality and value and something that is unique and different then I would say Probably... But making money with handmade goods is a long hard road. be prepared to put alot of effort and time into it. Making post cards and jewelry will not be your only job unless you hire people to make a website or list your items online or sell your things at craft fairs, or do the leg work to sell to consignment shops, etc etc... This has to be more than a hobby to be profitable.
If you already have a sufficient source of income and are making and selling things as a creative outlet.. then YES! its totally worth it! Etsy and Ebay are great places to start.. but I like Artfire because its free to list.. no insertion fees or percentages taken out...
As to the demand for such things.... do a keyword search... find out exactly how many people are searching for "handmade postcards", "handmade jewelry", "painted stones" etc... Find a niche that people are searching for but doesn't come up with a lot of web pages devoted to that niche..
good luck!
