What qualifies us in decorating rustic frames?

So how am I qualified to write about farmhouse decor or rustic picture frames? Well I’ve been a midwestern home designer during the last 40 years. Specialized in craftsman style homes, I’ve seen more than my share of the new Modern Farmhouse look in my new designs. When you add that to the fact that my wife and I own a rustic barn wood framing company at OnlyBarnwoodFrames.com, it’s pretty easy to see where my expertise came from.

How do farmhouse decor and rustic picture frames fit together?

Many people were introduced to Modern Farmhouse Decor a few years ago when Joanna & Chip Gaines brought their Waco, TX home renovation company into everyone’s home. For years, we’ve all watched Chip remove or install shiplap for Joanna and then watch her magically transform an otherwise typical space into extraordinary with the use of simple rustic products. Often, he displayed photos or mementos of the owning families in rustic frames and the trend started.

Since then, others have followed up with different shows showcasing the use of reclaimed barn wood for everything from accent walls to tabletops to our favorite handmade picture frames.

Why Barnwood?

Let’s face it, there’s nothing more rustic or country like the look of real reclaimed barn wood. If you’ve seen shows like The Barnwood Buildersso have you heard mark bowe explain that you just can’t copy the real patina of weather-aged barn wood.

Therefore, it takes a keen eye to piece together enough well-matched pieces of wood to create unique frames. But even the most basic flat plank frames can be very unique…more on that later!

How to decorate with Barnwood?

This is a great question because many people think of barn wood as a simple gray-brown finish. If that were true, it would be very boring. But the fact is, you can have your unique rustic picture frames made in a variety of finish colors and distressed looks. You can even have barn wood frames with glazed finishes like modern cabinets or even weathered finishes that look like they’ve aged over the years.

What picture frame size options do I have?

This is where using rustic picture frames can add a lot to your farmhouse decor creation. That’s because you can work with single 1-1/2″ wide frames or create multi-piece frames up to 6-1/2″ wide.
