Finding rustic decor
ideas that are a perfect fit for your log home can be challenging and costly.
Here are some unique and
easy to make DIY décor ideas:
Log Lamp
We all love the look
of the traditional log lamp; it’s a great addition for the rustic look of your
log home. Not to mention, it’s easy to make. If you’re looking for a more
modern look, utilize the natural cracks in the log and install the light inside.
Your lamp will have a unique light pattern and a cool look.
Dog Feeder
If you’re tired of
Fido’s food and water bowls constantly spilling on the floor or you just
dislike the look of the steel bowls on the floor, add a rustic twist. Sand the
bottom of a log down flat, cut out two holes and place the dog bowls in the cut
outs. You can also use a raised log feeder for your bigger dogs, making a small
table with the same two cut out holes.
Tree Stump Vase
For a beautiful
addition to your table try making a wooden vase. Drill a hole into the stump
wide enough to fit another vase or a jar inside and tall enough that whatever
you put inside doesn’t show over the edge. Sand and varnish the outside of the
vase to avoid splinters.
Log Path and Garden
Instead of a stone
path through your garden, consider using log slices as steps. After cutting the log into slices, seal them
and lay the logs out to decide how they fit best, then glue them together. If
you have a large amount of the log left over, remove the inside, add some soil
and seeds and you’ll have a garden in the log.
