From Sarah:
Great idea for obtaining an instant rustic look. British interior designer Jane Cumberbatch suggests lining wooden strips to the wall to obtain the look; see more of her ideas at Pure Style.

From Janet:
I have a closet shelf stacked with vintage Turkish fabrics that, because of their narrow width, I had written off for any purpose other than decorative pillows. No longer. During my recent trip to London, I paid a visit to Liberty, where I spotted a collection of vintage sofas and chairs upholstered in an artful melange of antique fabrics. The lesson? Take one old piece of furniture plus several pieces of vintage fabric, collaborate with an upholsterer, and you have something both new and old and utterly original. True recycling.
Another idea nicked from Mint, London’s version of NY’s Moss. Wrap your sofa’s battered legs in an eye-catching vintage fabric.

Lacking a message center? Paint an old globe with blackboard paint and use it for notes. Go to flickr.com for instructions:

Came across this mountain laurel chandelier at rustic-designs.com for a rather steep $2,375. How about gathering a bundle of manzanita branches, lashing them together with twine, and threading a strand of white lights through the whole thing?
Go to manzanita.com for sandblasted manzanita branches by the bundle and smithandhawken.com for white cafe lights.

Take a cue from these Tupilak tree-stump stools by French company Bleu Nature (bleunature.com); these have been topped with lacquered disks, but why not paint your own?
