Looking For Hand Crafted Products?

Visit The Hand Made Product Directory

It has been a few days since we have posted anything in our blog. The reason for this is a simple one. We have been undergoing some very significant growth lately in our overall business and needed to consolidate our efforts.

For those who don’t know, DM Production and Sales is a division of New Creations Consulting, LLC. We are a rather unusual business in that instead of turning crafting into a business, we incorporated crafting into our existing business.

Our business has several aspects. We initially started as a consulting business for Historical Property restorations but because of the number of requests we were receiving from our customers and their interior designers, we decided that we needed to branch out into creating Hand Crafted Country Rustic & Primitive Home Decor items. This was really a no-brainer for us since almost everyone in our office and shop was already heavily into woodworking or some other form of producing handmade and hand crafted items.

As a result of the requests from our customers and interior decorators who would ask us about where to get specific types hand crafted items that we didn't create, we started The Hand Made Directory which is an online Directory of people and stores that produce and sell Handmade & Hand Crafted products.

The purpose of the directory is two fold. First to help other producers and sellers of handmade and hand crafted products pull traffic to their online store, and second to help our customers from the other aspects of our business find products that they are looking for but products that we don’t produce. Our overall goal is to make the directory the largest directory of it’s type on line.

For those who have never been to The Hand Made Product Directory, you will find it different than most other directories you will find on line. The biggest difference is that the directory is completely human controlled. All submissions for a listing in the directory are reviewed by a real live human. You will not find automated listing submission forms either. Those requesting a Free listing submit their information by email. Why, you ask. Simple. Automated systems result in abuse and as a result a directory with a great deal of unrelated and irrelevant material in it.

One other difference is that the user isn’t manipulated into seeing only certain stores chosen by those controlling the directory. In no way will we manipulate the view to show them what we feel they should see. Unlike many other search engines and directories, we don’t think people are too stupid to know what they want. We feel this is not only fair to those who are doing the seeking but to those stores listed in the directory.

Every store listed in any given category has an equal opportunity to be visited by that potential customer. Even our search feature is simple. If you search for something, that search is going to show the searcher every page in the entire directory that contains the search words or term the searcher used. For those who want to have someone else make their decisions for them shouldn’t bother using The Hand Made Product Directory. We believe people who use our directory are very capable of making their own decisions.

I’ve pointed out some of the advantages of using The Hand Made Product Directory from a potential customers side, now let me tell you store owners who produce and sell handmade or hand crafted products why you should be listed in the directory. First, it’s FREE. Free is always good. I’ve listed the top 4 reasons below.

The Hand Made Directory has many Free ways to help a store draw customers to your store.

1 - They can obtain a Free Link to their store in the directory. There is even the ability to upgrade a listing for those who want to.

2 - If a store is having a sale, there is a section in the directory where they can place a Free Sales Ad. There are also many Free Sales Banners they can choose from to use in your Sale Announcement. Potential Customers who come to the directory are encouraged on every page of the directory to visit the "Now On Sale" page to see what sales are running in what stores.

3 – Store owners can have their Blog listed for Free on the Store Owners Blog page.

4 - There is a Store Owners Resource page with links to other helpful sites for promoting and maintaining your store.

We also have plans to add more features for both potential customers and store owners.

New Site Changes & Look Plus A Big Sale

2008-03-15T15:31:00.000-07:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

We have been very busy the last couple of weeks. We have done a complete reworking and update to our company web site http://www.dmpmc.net as well as The Hand Made Directory http://www.dmpmc.net/handmade.html . This is a directory of web sites and stores that produce Hand Crafted products.

To top all this off, we are preparing to make some changes to our product lines. With the pressure everyone is feeling because of the economy these days, we are going to be listing in our on line stores more products that are not only decorative but which also have more actual functionality to them. Some of these new products will be sold in a kit format. 99% of these kits will only require a Phillips Screwdriver and about 5 minutes to assemble. This will significantly help reduce shipping costs and actual production costs. These savings will be passed along to our customers in the form of lower prices. We will be listing many more Wall Shelving types and styles as well as other functional decorative wall oriented products at fantastic savings.

For most of our existence, a large portion of our business has been of a custom nature. We produce a large number of custom items for a variety of customers, both private and business oriented and anyone who is seeking custom work is encouraged to contact us. Our custom work charges are very reasonable and our turn-a-round time is exceptional in most instances.

With Easter almost upon us and as a member of the Etsy Interior Design Team, we are participating in the Team's EASTER SALE. All our wood products in our Etsy Shop http://dmproductionandsales.etsy.com are currently 25% OFF the shown listed price. All our Picture & Drawing Prints are also just $5.00 each during this sale.

Using Different Wood Grains, Shades and Colors In Country Decorating

2008-03-05T07:22:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Does your decorating approach have to be all the same wood grains, shades and colors? It’s a simple question and it may seem like a ridiculous question but it does get asked from time to time. The answer however is far from simple. So much depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

If you’re looking to create a more formal look, you might want to keep your color scheme more closely related. If on the other hand you are looking for a more natural and authentic appearance, this isn’t going to be critical. I’ve been in many a real working Country Ranch and Farm house over the years and the one thing that just didn’t seem to be all that important was matching everything up. In decades and centuries past, being able to worry about such things wasn’t practical. Many if not most items were hand made and the type of wood or the items color was determined mostly by what material was available at the time. One just didn’t run down to your neighborhood lumber and hardware store like is done today. You used what you had in many instances and were thankful you had the material available. No matter what it happened to be.

When I was a youngster and growing up on the farm, we were fortunate to have a huge number of black walnut trees in one far corner of the farm. Because of this we had a great deal of walnut lumber for my folks to work with. Our neighbor on the other hand has easy access to oak and yet another to elm. We traded with each other but for the most part, we used what we had quickly available. Most household items were build or created when you couldn’t work outside for one reason or another so you built things pretty quickly. Functionality was usually more important than looks were to a great degree. Today we are lucky. We have the ability and availability of products to do almost anything we like when we are decorating.

One of the greatest advantages of decorating in a Country fashion, and particularly if you are striving for an authentic look, is that it is pretty difficult to really mess it up. The fact that so much of the Country style is directly connected to the persons own likes, dislikes and personality, who is to say what is right or wrong. As long as it works for you, that’s the key.

Another advantage of decorating in a Country style is that the normal process of accumulating more decorations and other items doesn’t normally create the problem of “Will this look right in this or that room?”. If the piece is of a Country, Rustic or Primitive nature, most likely it will fit right in without much difficulty. All three styles generally blend very well together.

Where To Find Hand Crafted Products On The Net

2008-03-03T06:02:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales
Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Instead of our normal Monday’s Crafters Spotlight section this week, I thought that instead of focusing in on a single crafter I would tell the reader about a resource for finding crafters of all types. In times past, if you wanted something that had been Hand Crafted, you either had to know someone who produced that item or you could figure on spending hours searching the internet to find someone who did. This isn’t the case today. For the real discriminating buyer, the largest group of crafters of all kinds can be found at a place called Etsy (http://www.etsy.com). Almost anything that can be Hand Crafted can be found there. There are thousands of crafters and their companies and hundreds of thousands of Hand Crafted products to be found there, including ourselves (some of our products are show below). Some who have shops on Etsy are selling their work as a part time endeavor while others are full time crafters and derive their living from their work. The best way to look at Etsy is to consider it like a very large shopping mall. A mall the size of the whole earth since you will find crafters on Etsy from around the world. Want something custom made? Don’t worry, many shop owners do custom work and do it very reasonably.

It is important to understand that Etsy is not an Auction web site. It isn’t anything like most Auction web sites. There is no bidding on a product. If you want to buy it, you simply pay for the item and it is yours. Just like you would in any large quality department store. The real difference is that you don’t have to walk around this mall and what you are buying will most likely be “One of a Kind” and of course, the item will be shipped to you. Let me also add that to the majority of shop owners, Customer Service is extremely important to them and they really treat their customers exceptionally well.

For Hand Crafted on line store owners here is a place you can gain some additional exposure at no cost. The Hand Made Directory The instructions for adding your store are at the bottom of the front page.

New Product Display Equipment Line Being Introduced

2008-03-01T08:31:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

I wanted to take today and introduce a new product line we have created. It is designed to help other crafters market and merchandise their products. Merchandising displays and equipment can be very expensive. What we have done is develop some high quality items at very reasonable and affordable prices. The first items we are introducing are for those who deal in jewelry.

For those crafters and/or sellers who specialize in jewelry, we have started to add a product line to help you display your products at shows or in stores. Today we listed in our Etsy store a number of items. We will be adding more over the next few days. If you have a specific need for displaying your products, let us know. If it is a wooden type of display you are looking for, we can help. We do custom work upon request and at very reasonable prices.

If you have an idea for a type of merchandise display you would like to see us create, please contact us. We are always looking for new items to create for our valued customers. It doesn’t have to be jewelry oriented either. We can and do make display and merchandising products for a number of product types.

How We Produce Our Products - The Process

2008-02-27T05:05:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales
Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

We get numerous emails asking us how we make our products. I thought I would put a post in our blog that might help to answer that question. There isn’t any way one could even begin to explain in detail every aspect involved, but hopefully this will provide the reader with some insight into the process.

Many of our customers are surprised about the amount of detail to authenticity our products exhibit. We include this insert with our products to provide the customer with some details about how their piece was created and hopefully answer some questions they may have as to why their particular piece looks the way it does.

As you are aware, DM Production and Sales specializes in creating Home Décor pieces that are reproductions of those originally made and produced centuries past. Creating a piece to look like it originally looked when it was first built isn’t difficult. Making it look like an authentic piece would actually look today is where the skill and craftsmanship comes in. It is much harder to accomplish this than most people think.

Besides the obvious research that must be done about any given piece produced, great care needs to be taken when selecting the wood one uses, the types of stains and finishes used, the glues and hardware used and many other factors. Care must be given to give the piece being produced the correct amount and type of simulated wear and use effect so it truly looks as old and used as it should look.

We start any project with research which tells us not only how the piece we are reproducing was originally made and the elements involved in its production. Then research must be done to determine how this items would actually look after 50, 100, 200 years of daily use. Once this is completed, we start with wood that is as close as possible in age to the original time period we are going to reproduce. We obtain much of our wood and lumber from historical preservation and restoration projects. This allows us the advantage of starting a project off on the right foot so to speak.

Once the actual physical construction of a piece is completed comes the difficult part. It’s not good enough to just slap some stain or other finish on the piece and call it good. We make many of our own stains and finishes. Often using century old formulas. This gives us an additional advantage when we begin to Age and Distress the piece. Knowing what type of finish to use and how much finish to use is also important as well as knowing where and when to carefully remove some of that finish to give the piece the proper aged look are techniques that we have developed over many years of trial and error.

Anyone can put dents and dings in a piece of wood. This doesn’t make it resemble what it should really resemble. This just makes it look banged up. Knowing where to place wear marks is important. They need to be in places that would have normally received more wear than other parts of the piece under normal daily use.

Another element that is often forgotten is the element of the weather. Pieces that would normally be used or located outside will have different and additional types of wear and weathering that wouldn’t normally be found on pieces that were usually kept indoors. For example, pieces that have been exposed to many years of weathering and no matter how well they are protected by finishes, will have tell-tail indicators of exposure such as cracks, splits and checks in the wood itself. Knowing where to put these aging elements take years of experience. These types of pieces will often show areas on them that have been sun-bleached (lighter areas that have been exposed to sunlight more than others. Add to this the normal daily wear from water (rain, ect.) and wind, dry heat, and humidity all must be taken into consideration.

Taking all these factors into consideration when we produce a piece is what makes our products special and unique. Providing our customers with items that they will cherish for many years.

Remember, when you are looking for something that really looks and feels like the past, think of
DM Production and Sales first. Custom work available upon request.

In This Weeks Handmade Product Spotlight

If you are not into the culture and lore of the Old West, you may have never heard of a “Dream Catcher”. They are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native American culture. The purpose of a dream catcher was to protect the sleeping individual from bad dreams, while letting the persons good dreams through. The good dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The bad dreams would get caught up in the web, and be destroyed with the first rays of the morning sun. Dream catcher have been a part of the Native American culture for untold generations. Another aspect of the Native American dream catcher has to do with the tradition of the hoop. It is said by some Native Americans of North America that the hoop is held in the highest esteem. Primarily because it symbolized strength and unity.

Thankfully many of these Native American traditions have not been lost and continue to be made by dedicated crafters though out the country. One such crafter and artisan is “Arizona Dreams” http://arizonadreams.etsy.com . Pam, who is the inspiration, crafter and contact at “Arizona Dreams” is perpetuating this great tradition and craft with skill and love. Pam has been making Dream Catchers for a number of years and as she puts it: “I began making dream catchers almost twenty years ago to trap nightmares my children were having. Soon, neighbors and friends were asking me to make them. I made around 50 and bought a spot at a craft mall and realized people were really liking my items. I have two handmade sites currently, and still love making dream catchers. My children are now adults and still have a dream catcher hanging in their room. There is more to the legend than the beauty of the dream catcher.”

The quality of these Dream Catches is very difficult to put into words. The pictures above show more than words can explain. When you are looking for that unique gift for someone or simply want something that will become a cherished item in your home, check out Pam’s work at “Arizona Dreams”.

Repairing Dents and Scratches In Wooden Country Rustic and Primitive Décor

2008-02-22T06:20:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Repairing Dents and Scratches In Wooden Country Rustic and Primitive Décor

When it comes to dents and scratches in your Country Rustic and Primitive Décor, the first thing you need to do is ask yourself, “do I really want to repair this”. A large portion of the charm and uniqueness of these types of decorative items is the “Used and Worn Look” that they have developed over the years. You really need to consider this prior to making any repairs.

There are instances where repairs just must be made however and that is what we will look at today. This isn’t so much a “How To” type of posting as it is some basic principles that can be used to repair a wide variety of wooden items. There are just too many variables involved to be “piece specific” in this post. There are many tricks of the trade but we will focus on those the average home owner would normally be willing to tackle.

The most common repair that the reader will probably want to make is dealing with scratches. Usually most scratches on wood are not deep. Usually scratches only happen in the outer Finish Layer of the piece. Let’s look at these types of scratches first. I’ll discuss how to handle deep scratches in a minute.

Minor surface scratches can usually be repaired very quickly and simply. First, you have to determine what type of Finish the piece is. If the Finish is a Natural Oil Finish, and the scratch isn’t real large and noticeable, the quickest way to deal with it is simply by using a matching Oil Finish to go over the scratch. Once this is dry, a coat of wax is usually all that is needed. If the scratch is really light, a product called an “Almond Stick” can be used to simply run over it and the scratch will disappear. These little pieces of magic are not always easy to find. They can sometimes be found in hardware stores. Occasionally better quality furniture stores carry them. If neither of these work, try a cabinet makers supply outlet. They come in a light and dark color. Simply use the appropriate shade.

It is not usual for Country Rustic and Primitive home décor pieces to have a heavy gloss or semi-gloss varnish finish. If your piece does appear to have this type of finish and it is a true antique, the finish is probably either a multi-layered and dried Linseed Oil finish, a varnish or a built up hard wax finish. Linseed Oil will dry quite hard and with multiple coats can provide a very durable finish. One of the main reasons it isn’t used much these days is that it takes weeks for each coat to dry properly (depending on the drying conditions). If you do have a scratch in a Linseed Oil finish that must be repaired, you should take it to an expert. If however it is a varnish finish, you can take a very small brush (similar to a small artists brush) and simply fill the scratch with a high quality varnish. You will need to build up in layers and wipe off any excess varnish that you get on surfaces around the scratch. Let each layer dry and repeat until the scratch is filled. If the scratch is in a wax finish, you can melt a small amount of quality paste furniture wax and use the same process as with varnish to fill the scratch.

Dents in wooden item require different approaches depending on the size and depth of the dent and the type of wood itself. If you have a really deep dent, I strongly suggest you have an expert deal with it. You could very easily damage the piece if you don’t have the expertise to deal with it yourself. Minor dents can often be lifted back out with a steam iron. Simply place a cloth over the dented wood area and place a hot (not too hot) steam iron on top for a minute or two. The actually time required depends a great deal on the type (hardness) of wood and the depth of the dent. The steam will cause the wood fibers to swell and basically fill in the dent. Caution is the key word when using this process and I recommend you experiment on a piece of scrap wood first before you attack you actual piece. A little practice can go a long way in preventing damage to the actual piece you are planning on repairing.

The other most often addressed repair that might be needed is Re-gluing. Simply squirting some glue into a crack of separated piece can crate further problems for you. Using the wrong type of glue can actually cause further damage to the piece. Small cracks can often be repaired simply by injecting (with a syringe) a small amount of good woodworkers wood glue into the crack and clamping the crack closed tightly. If the crack is large, take it to an expert if you don’t feel comfortable addressing it.

Actual joints in any piece can usually be re-glued relatively simply with a good wood glue and clamps. There are some instances, depending upon the type of joint, wood and condition of the joint that will require more work. Sometimes, the old glue will need to be removed in order to make a proper repair. Sometimes a special type of glue must be used because of the condition of the wood. If this appears to be the case, see an expert.

Most minor repairs can usually be addressed by the average home owner but always remember that if you don’t feel comfortable doing it, Don’t.

Taking Care Of Your Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor Pieces

2008-02-20T05:27:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales
Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Taking Care Of Your Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor Pieces

Keeping those unique pieces in your home in top condition doesn’t have to be a major project. In most cases, simply keeping them clean and polished is all that is necessary. If you’re using the right cleaners and the correct polishing material the whole job shouldn’t take you that long at all.

If you must use a type of soap cleaner on any item, the best thing to use is a mild mixture of dish soap and water. Stay away from cleaners that have ammonia and other harsh elements in them. Your normal window cleaner is terrible on most woods and can even damage certain pieces of pottery. Glass cleaners where made for glass, not wood. Most commercially available polishes are not the best items to use on wood products either.

Wood itself is a living breathing item. It has pours and as such these pours can become clogged with all kinds of dirt and other elements that can damage the piece. If you must use an oil on a wood piece to restore some of the natural oils that deteriorate over time, use a quality oil specifically made for this purpose. In most cases you will not find these better quality oils in your normal grocery store. You may even have difficulty finding them at places like Home Depot or Lowes. The best places to look for these better grade oils are in Wood Workers Supply Stores or high end Furniture Dealers. You might check with a local furniture repair shop for advise on locating a source. I deliberately haven’t mentioned any specific brand because there are a number of good ones available. The problem is that every part of the country is a little different and many of these products are specifically formulated for that specific region. That is why it is best to find out what the experts are using in your particular area and use it.

Most wood pieces will not be hurt by a light wax finish to help protect the original finish. Again, the same principles apply to the type of wax you use as do to the type or brand of wood oils. Do your homework and it will pay off in the long run. In most cases, a quality paste wax is best. These spray on waxes or polishes you find in most grocery stores will only damage your piece over time. What is nice about a good paste wax is that it lasts a long, long time. Several thin coats are much better than one heavy coat.

Even a good quality wax will create a buildup over time and needs to be partially removed. Again, there are specific products made for removing wax from wood pieces. Use a quality product that you can find in your specific area. In most instances you will not need to remove 100% of the wax finish. Usually only the first couple of layers will be sufficient to restore the luster and appearance of the piece.

In some things, buying lesser quality doesn’t matter. In this case however, by spending the money up front, you will save in the long run. Having pieces repaired by a professional is expensive. You will save money by treating those unique pieces properly from the very start.

In This Weeks Handmade Product Spotlight

In the process of researching stores for our weekly “Handmade Product Spotlight” post, we look a many artists, their work and their stores. What makes choosing a specific artist to feature difficult is the number of great artists we see. This week we want to bring you one artist and her work that we feel really stands out. Her name is Diana Feldman and her store (Diana's Stained Glass and Jewelry Creations) http://dianasstainedglass.etsy.com contains a number of fantastic creation of Stained Glass and Jewelry.

She creates traditional tiffany style stained glass boxes, lamps, panels, sun catchers, and does custom designed stained glass, one of a kind fine jewelry and custom jewelry. She uses the lost wax casting process. We ask those we Spotlight to tell us a little about themselves. Not only does Diana have a flare with stained glass, she knows how to express herself very nicely.

“I have been doing tiffany style stained glass for about 4 years now. I learned stained glass in a small group at my church. I always wanted to learn stained glass so when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance. I love every part of stained glass. The beauty of the glass as the sunlight hits it is just magical to me. It brings the piece of glass to life, like gemstones.
I love creating things with my hands. As a master jeweler for the past 22 years it's been with gold and gemstones and now lam able to bring my talents to the field of glass art. It's my passion to create beautiful things. In the coming months I will be making more creations in fused glass and leaded glass windows so keep checking back!”

As you can see from the examples above, Diana knows her craft and we look forward to seeing many additional great pieces appear in her store over the next weeks and months. We encourage you to visit her store (Diana's Stained Glass and Jewelry Creations) http://dianasstainedglass.etsy.com yourself and pick up several of her creations. Diana also has a blog (http://NorthChurchJewelry.blogspot.com) which we believe you will find very interesting.

Making Use Of The Already Used In Country Decorating

Making Use Of The Already Used In Country Decorating

One of the biggest advantages of decorating in a Country Rustic & Primitive style is that it can be very Eco-Friendly. So many items that fit perfectly into a Country Theme can be made from recycled materials. In our case, almost all the materials we use in producing our products comes from re-claimed and recycled lumber and wood. Much of it coming from Historical Property Restoration Projects.

When you start off with materials that already have a historical age factor, it adds significant value to the piece you are creating. It also makes it much easier to achieve an authentic appearance in the piece. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, using re-claimed wood can not only save you money but can take a great deal of work out of your project. The frame for the picture seen here was made from re-claimed wood from and old fireplace mantle.

Wood however isn’t the only thing that you can use. You need to think out of the box when it comes to your decorating projects. Everything from fabrics to glass and everything in between is fair game. One thing that I have noticed about most people who decorate in a Country Theme is that they lean slightly towards being a bit of a packrat and a scrounger. This certainly is helpful when you are making many of your home décor pieces yourself. At least as long as you doesn’t get carried away with it. If you find that you have a 55 gallon barrel of bent nails, maybe it is time to cut back a little.

Do you like building rustic furniture?

Do you like building rustic furniture?

If you like to build things, here is a tip that will save you a ton of money. One of the catch phrases often heard when the talk shifts to Country Rustic and Primitive Décor is “Barn Wood”. True “Barn Wood” should come from a barn, but lets face it, how many people do you know that have an old barn they will let you tear down? I’ll bet not many. “Barn Wood” is basically a wood that is old, weathered and pretty rough. That being the case, what would be the problem of using any wood that meets those requirements to give you the same effect?

There are many Lumber Re-claimers that will sell you real “Barn Wood” but it isn’t going to be cheap. Here is a tip for rustic furniture builders...old fence boards, good as barn wood in most cases...as long as it's dry and termite free,,,it's pre shrunk and pre dried and pre weathered from the sun and rain. If you live where there are no old barns these old fence boards make great tables and benches and they are FREEEEEEEE. Just keep your eyes open as you are driving around. I’ll bet you can find someone in your area that is tearing down an old fence and will be glad to give you what ever you need.

The Dead Snake Chili Cookbook

The Dead Snake Chili Cook Book or Very Old Recipes From The Very Old West. This cook book was developed primarily as a conversation piece or decorative item but with over 80 really old recipes in it, anyone with an interest in history or cooking will find this item of interest.

What Does It Mean To Live In A Home That Is Decorated In Country Rustic & Primitive Style?

2008-02-13T07:33:00.001-08:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

What Does It Mean To Live In A Home That Is Decorated In Country Rustic & Primitive Style?

I thought I would do something a little different in today’s blog. Instead of focusing on the elements of Country Rustic & Primitive decorating themselves today, I would give the reader something to think about in regards to their own home’s current decorating style. Even if your home isn’t decorated in a Country Style, you may want to consider it as you read further.

There seems to be considerable interest in the Country Look when it comes to home decorating trends today. Actually, there has been for the past several years. I’ve always wondered just how the concept of decorating any home in a Country style can really be called a new trend. Particularly when you really think about it and considering the history of our country and how most people lived for most of our country’s history, that is a rural background. I would say that it is really a very old trend. Of course I don’t think my great grandparents or my grand parents or even my parents probably every thought their farm houses were decorated in any form of Trend or fashion.

Let me ask the reader, how is your home decorated? Does it fit in with today’s Trend? Maybe I should really be asking, “What is the Home Decorating Trend Today?”. To a great degree it depends on what part of the country you live in and of course what the so called experts say it is. Now, I really wonder, do you really care?

I see a lot of people that are so wrapped up in keeping their home decorated in “Today’s Trend” that they never really enjoy their home. What really seems more important to me is, “Do you like the way your home is decorated?”. Now, like I mentioned, I come from a rural background and what I like is just that. What I Like. It may not be the readers choice but that doesn’t matter. They don’t have to live in my house, I do.

One thing that seems to be very consistent in homes decorated in a Country Style is that they always seem to be very comfortable. You have the impression the minute you walk in that you are welcome and you can relax and enjoy yourself. You know real people live there and enjoy life. My final question for the reader is “Is that how your home feels?”.

Where To Get Country Rustic & Primitive Home Decorating Ideas

Where To Get Country Rustic & Primitive Home Decorating Ideas

If you are just starting to think about doing some Country Rustic & Primitive decorating yourself in your home or already have Country Rustic & Primitive Décor and seeking new ideas, where do you look? There are numerous avenues one can take in obtaining ideas. You can of course start by looking at the homes of friends and family members who already have Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor. There are also a host of magazines and books available on the subject you can use. Depending on where you live, your local Historical Society may have pictures you can look at and possibly members who can help. You can also visit Historical Homes in your community to pick up ideas. You can even go to local furniture stores and see what they have that you can reproduce. All these are possibilities but have you ever given any thought to the movies?

One of my favorite methods of obtaining new decorating ideas is to watch Historical Dramas and other period specific movies. Most movie production companies try to make their sets as accurate as possible. They spend a pretty good chunk of change hiring experts just for this purpose. I’ve picked up hundreds of ideas simply by watching these types of movies. It helps if you can watch the movies on your computer so you can take a Screen Shot of items and rooms you find interesting. B&W movies are alright, but color movies are really much better for this purpose. You have to stay focused while your watching the movie, otherwise you will miss many of the details. That’s why being able to take a Screen Shot or Pause the movie is so helpful. One last thing, don’t forget to have a pad and pencil handy for your notes.

While watching, try to keep in mind the overall room setting. How items are placed in conjunction to everything in the room. Look for the little items or pieces used. These are often the elements that add those special final touches that really make the difference. Even things like the curtains being used. Most well lived in Country homes have accumulated a real assortment of odd and unique items over the years. It is just these touches that give the room that warm, welcoming, lived in look.

This Weeks Handmade Products Spotlight

2008-02-11T04:58:00.000-08:00

DM Production and Sales

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

In these days of mass produced products, it’s easy to forget that long before the days of mass production, things were made by hand. Some may think these skills have been forgotten but that is far from the truth. Each week we will be featuring a fellow crafter and their work in our blog. Our goal is to acquaint the reader with some of the thousands of skilled and talented crafters who produce handmade products that are special and fantastic values.

This Weeks Handmade Products Spotlight

The art of pottery making is a craft with a very long history. At one time, most pottery created was more of a utilitarian necessity than any thing else. When you are just scrapping out a living on a day to day basis, eating and storage vessels are more important than decorating your stick or mud hut. As skills and techniques developed so did the complexity and diversity of the types and styles of pottery develop. Today, these skills and techniques are seen in today’s pottery makers.

One of our favorite pottery crafters is Judy Nevius. Her shop on Etsy JNPottery (http://jnpottery.etsy.com) is a great example of functionality and style. I asked her to tell us a little bit about herself and her work. “I've been making things from clay for 7 years, and I can't stop! I make pieces that are functional, and I hope also decorative. I am extremely pleased when someone tells me that they use my pottery on a regular basis. Isn't that what it's all about? Except for raku, all of the glazes are food safe. Pieces are oven and dishwasher safe and most can be put into a microwave. I sell pottery on Etsy and at local craft venues. I love making these pieces, but I get even greater joy from people using and enjoying them.”

Some other samples of her many pieces

If you like really great pottery that is not only useful but great looking, we encourage you to check out Judy’s shop on Etsy.

So You Want A Custom Piece Built!

2008-02-08T09:17:00.000-08:00

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Having Custom Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor Pieces Made

Can’t find what you are looking for? Seems hard to believe with all the various pieces of Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor that are floating around these days that people actually have custom pieces made. The fact is that they do. Often the reason is that the customer wants to reproduce something that they had in their home when they were a child or possibly something from a picture found in an old family album. What ever the reason, more and more people are having custom pieces made.

I thought I would take a few minutes and offer some advise should the reader be considering having a custom piece produced. First of all, one of the best ways to save yourself some money is by doing your home work. Learn as much as possible about the piece you are planning on having built. If you have or can obtain a picture of what you want, even better yet. Any good craftsmen is going to do some home work themselves about the piece. This can become expensive. If you have all the information the craftsman needs already, you can save several hours of research costs. Another advantage of having your homework done is that it allows you to shop around for the best price.

The second thing is that you need to be realistic about the amount of time it takes to produce the piece. Rush jobs will cost you considerably more. The time necessary to produce any given piece is of course going to be determined to a great degree by the piece’s complexity and size. Time frames can run from as little as a couple of days for small simple pieces up to weeks for more elaborate or larger pieces.

Listen to the craftsman you choose. They will have many years of experience and are more than willing to give you recommendations about wood type, finishes, hardware and other aspects of the piece you are planning on having made. Don’t hesitate to offer suggestions but it is really important to consider the craftsman as an artist. Most of us are slightly on the temperamental side and are pretty set in our ways when it comes to our work. We encourage questions and suggestions. Just remember that we are not always going to agree with what you suggest. It’s just that we have been doing this for so many years that we have developed an instinct for building these types of items. We have also had the unfortunate experience of following the customer’s suggestions to the letter more than once, and again our better judgment, and having the customer dissatisfied at the outcome.

New Blog Feature Starting Feb 11, 2008

There are thousands of internet stores to window shop in these days. The average person has such a wide selection of merchandise to purchase from that finding something of real quality can often be a problem. So many on line stores seem to carry the run of the mill mass produced material which the shopper can find in almost any Wal-mart these days. I guess this is fine for some people, but if you are looking for something really special. Something that is really unique. Something that doesn’t look like it just came off the ship from China. You can be in for a great deal of searching.

This doesn’t have to be the case however. There is a vast community on the internet that specializes in producing quality products that are not mass produced. The question for the shopper is “Where are they and how do I find them?” To help answer that question, we will be starting a weekly section in our blog which features various crafters who produce and sell handmade products. The name of this section is “Handmade Product Spotlight” We encourage you to visit those who also hand craft unique products with quality and value. You may also check out the “Hand Made Product Directory” to find that special item.

Decorating With Country Primitive

Bringing The Past To The Present Since 1988

Decorating With Country Primitive
Make That Room Your Own Cozy Corner

All one has to do is spend about 30 minutes on the internet to see that there are many fantastic items available on the market you can use to create the perfect primitive themed room. What is really nice is that most of these items are inexpensive.

If you really want to get down to basics, primitive home décor is based on cottage and rustic themes. The idea behind all of these room styles is to give the room a simple, yet inviting and warm "lived-in" feeling. The following example should give the reader a better understanding of how you can achieve the primitive home look.

Simple Furniture - When selecting furniture for primitive home decor, you will want to stay with pieces such as benches, coffee tables, and end tables that are made of unfinished wood. Try to use plain wood furniture that has gouges, scratches, chips, and is worn in places, this is an excellent way to keep the room looking authentic.

Giving Your Walls That Rustic look - Primitive home decor coloring for your walls are usually in warm rustic shades of light to dark brown, golden yellows, bronze, reddish-brown and terracotta.

If you want to, you can add some interesting paint affect to your walls by using some faux painting by sponging or using rag rolling to create a stony or rippled look on the walls.

Don’t Forget Your Flooring - Floors can be wood, tiles or wall to wall carpeting. If you have wood you can paint it to create a worn look, tiles can be made to look like rocks or stones, and if you have carpet stick to the brown tones.

What About Your Upholstered Pieces? - As for the upholstery that you will use for your sofa and chairs in the room, an inexpensive tack is to create slip covers that are made from faded sheets or light blankets, with patterns of floral or nature designs. An interesting affect can be achieved by tea-staining sheets to give them a more rustic feel.

Remember To Use Wall Art – There is no end to the variation that can be used here. Some interesting wall art ideas that you can use to add to the primitive decor in your room includes paintings of country scenery, botanicals or animals, as well as family pictures that are done in detail.

Think about putting all of your pictures and paintings in tarnished or unfinished wood frames. Wood carvings, a quilt and animal antlers are also good wall art ideas.

Windows Don’t Have To Be A Problem - Usually windows do not require much attention. If privacy is an issue, use a plain beige roll shade to cover the window, and then add plain tweed, or wool curtains to add the authentic primitive touch.

Using Accessories – Some ideas of primitive décor accessories that you may wish to add to your living room could be plants that you can place in an old fashioned wheelbarrow, or in chipped unpainted pottery vases. Old fashioned farm tools, as well as an oil lamp for authenticity can also add some great emphasis to any room.

Just be creative. Your goal when it comes to your primitive decor, is to create a room that is friendly, inviting and fun for the whole family to enjoy.

Primitive Decorating... just what it is.

Often primitive decorating is thought of as part flea market finds, part shabby chic, part make-do. Our grandchildren, when they were real young, called it Early Caveman. Sometimes it involve antiques or yard sale finds. Other times you have to buy something new and forcefully age the pieces. As of late, primitive country decor has taken a bit of a new twist. Often called Upscale Country or Country Revisited. Primitive pieces are created new, then distressed to look old. For some reason many think this is a new thing when in reality it is decades old. You can find many great examples in our stores.

Because someone decided to put a fancy name of this process these types of items often are very expensive. The real fact is that many pieces you will find in stores are radically over priced. You see you really don't have to spend a lot of money at these specialty Primitive Decorating stores not as long as you've got time on your hands and a few basic items to work with.

Making Your Own Primitive Decor

There are two basic ways to start. One is to make your own pieces cheaply with primitive decorating you will need to invest the time into scouting out some classic older pieces at flea markets, second hand stores and auctions. The Second is to produce the piece completely from scratch. Build it yourself. Since for the vast majority of people, this simply is out of the question, we will focus on the first method which also happens to be the easiest.

Let me make this one very important statement to start with. What ever you create, you will be the one living with it. That being the case, make it look the way you want it to and like. Don’t worry about whether others may think. This is truly an art form and as such, your imagination, likes and dislikes are the only things that will matter.

Once you have the furniture or wood piece (and by the way, you don’t have to stick with just wood items either) at home you may like to repair wobbly legs, apply a faux finish, change the color, apply a little crackling mixture from your local home decorating store if you like, and so on. You are really only limited by your imagination. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Some of our best techniques came about by simply trying something new and different. Soon you'll have the down-home appeal that is 100% to your tastes and matching your current color schemes already present in your home.

We will be starting a series in the next couple of weeks on the “How To’s” of making your own pieces along with many tips and techniques we have developed over the decades.

A Quick Note On Decorating Country Primitive

There really isn’t any hard and fast rules in this area. It all begins with inspiration and learning, decorating with what you already have and a passion for decorating. Our home is very primitive (partly because it is just plain old). Mostly however because we made it look that way. Not over night either. It takes time and is often an on-going process. Inside, the furnishings and decorations are a mixture of many different time periods pre 1900.

I have a difficult time calling it Upscale Country or Country Revisited. To me it is just US. What we like. If you work at it, that’s what you will be able to say about your home when you are done.

The Art Of Creating Country Rustic & Primitive Home Décor - How We Create Our Unique Items

Many of our customers are surprised about the amount of detail to authenticity our products exhibit. Hopefully this article will provide the reader and our customer with some details about how our unique products are created and hopefully answer some questions they may have as to why our products look so authentic.

As you are aware, DM Production and Sales specializes in creating Home Décor pieces that are reproductions of those originally made and produced centuries past. Creating a piece to look like it originally looked when it was first built isn’t difficult. Making it look like an authentic piece would actually look today is where the skill and craftsmanship comes in. It is much harder to accomplish this than most people think.

Besides the obvious research that must be done about any given piece produced, great care needs to be taken when selecting the wood one uses, the types of stains and finishes used, the glues and hardware used and many other factors. Care must be given to give the piece being produced the correct amount and type of simulated wear and use effect so it truly looks as old and used as it should look.

We start any project with research which tells us not only how the piece we are reproducing was originally made and the elements involved in its production. Then research must be done to determine how this items would actually look after 50, 100, 200 years of daily use. Once this is completed, we start with wood that is as close as possible in age to the original time period we are going to reproduce. We obtain much of our wood and lumber from historical preservation and restoration projects. This allows us the advantage of starting a project off on the right foot so to speak.

Once the actual physical construction of a piece is completed comes the difficult part. It’s not good enough to just slap some stain or other finish on the piece and call it good. We make many of our own stains and finishes. Often using century old formulas. This gives us an additional advantage when we begin to Age and Distress the piece. Knowing what type of finish to use and how much finish to use is also important as well as knowing where and when to carefully remove some of that finish to give the piece the proper aged look are techniques that we have developed over many years of trial and error.

Anyone can put dents and dings in a piece of wood. This doesn’t make it resemble what it should really resemble. This just makes it look banged up. Knowing where to place wear marks is important. They need to be in places that would have normally received more wear than other parts of the piece under normal daily use.

Another element that is often forgotten is the element of the weather. Pieces that would normally be used or located outside will have different and additional types of wear and weathering that wouldn’t normally be found on pieces that were usually kept indoors. For example, pieces that have been exposed to many years of weathering and no matter how well they are protected by finishes, will have tell-tail indicators of exposure such as cracks, splits and checks in the wood itself. Knowing where to put these aging elements take years of experience. These types of pieces will often show areas on them that have been sun-bleached (lighter areas that have been exposed to sunlight more than others. Add to this the normal daily wear from water (rain, ect.) and wind, dry heat, and humidity all must be taken into consideration.

Taking all these factors into consideration when we produce a piece is what makes our products special and unique. Providing our customers with items that they will cherish for many years.

Antique and Collectable Reproductions

Being an avid historian and a member of our local Historical Society, the collecting of antiques, their restoration and reproduction is a great part of my life. I have been involved in this area for most of my life. Being old enough to be historical myself, that is a long time. If one is involved in the restoration of historical item, one also has to be involved in their reproduction. The reason for this is simple. Many times during the process of restoration, one finds that you simply can't bring about a satisfactory job because of the condition of the item, either in whole or in part. The only way to salvage the item is to reproduce parts that are beyond repair.

The reproduction of either pieces of a historical item or its complete reproduction, isn't for the faint hearted. Many years have been spent developing techniques, learning from other experts and just good old trial and error to acquire the skills necessary. Copying a historical item isn't what we endeavor to do. We try very hard to make the reproduction resemble what that item would actually look like today. Not when it was first made. This is were the real skills come in. It all starts with the base material, wood. We deal almost exclusively in the reproduction and restoration of wood items. We have a very large number of historical properties in our area and having access to and being familiar with the many ongoing restoration projects, gives us access to a large quantity of material. Material that must be replaced for structural reasons is very suitable for our use. To us, wood is a living, breathing entity. Each piece has its own character. Its own uniqueness. By starting with wood that is either the age of the reproduced or restored item or older, we are able to more accurately match the characteristics of the item itself. Sometimes we have to artificially reproduce weathering and wear from usage. There's times when making a reproduction takes much more time to make than the original item ever did.

Matching wood stains, finishes and paints is a whole other matter and in future writings, I'll talk about that. Making wood stains the way they were made 100 years ago isn't easy. Being raised on a farm and watching and helping my father make his own stains has been of great help. You haven't lived until you have spent a day picking black walnuts. You come home with your hand as black as a piece of coal. We picked them not for the nut meat itself, although on a farm, nothing goes to waste, but we primarily picked them to make black walnut stain with. It's real hard these days to find a black walnut tree where I live. Maybe that gives you an idea of some of the problems one faces.

There are some out there who think it is perfectly acceptable to pass off reproductions as authentic items. In our opinion, that is nothing but fraud. Reproductions have their place. For many, the ability to own authentic pieces of history is just out of their financial capabilities. Yet, they enjoy having pieces of history around them. At times, the simple fact that there just aren't many pieces of a certain item available is the problem. Could you imagine where the movie industry would be without reproductions? In our store, we clearly indicate that an item we are selling is either authentic or a reproduction.

Pricing Reproduction Antiques & Similar Items

Pricing Reproduction Antiques & Similar Items

Over the years, we have noticed that there seems to be some confusion at times when one starts to talk about the pricing of Reproduction Antiques and similar items compared to the genuine article. I thought I might impart some information that might help buyers in this area. Often when one thinks of a Reproduction, they have the mind set of a cheap knock off item and mentally set a price to match. Of course, the quality of the item is the generally the governing factor on pricing, and this is where the problem of purchasing Reproductions online can cause problems. As hard as a seller and producer try’s, it is very difficult to duplicate the hands on experience of seeing and feeling an item that one gets in a B&M store. Because each potential buyer has their own set of criteria for what constitutes a good product there is always the potential for the online buyer to walk away from the sale less than happy. Hopefully this post will help guide the potential buyer in their purchases. Please remember that we deal almost exclusively in Reproductions made from wood. Although many of the things I'll discuss are pretty general, other types of items can have other factors that must be taken into account.

Let me address the "Pricing" factor. Time and Materials plus the Quality (which not only equals to the degree of authenticity of the item but the degree of detail of the item) generally are the biggest factors related to pricing. The higher the quality and detail of the item, the greater the amount of time is involved in the items production. Add to this any factors related to the materials used (such as its cost) and it is easy to see why there can be such a wide range in pricing seen in the area of Reproductions. One other factor that needs to be taken into account here is whether one is reproducing an item to resemble what it originally looked like when it was first made or is the item to look like it should after 50, 75, 100 plus years of use. This also will play a part in pricing. A good quality Reproduction can sometimes cost as much or even more than the genuine article. That being the case, then why do people buy reproductions? The three biggest reasons are that either the item they are seeking is simply unavailable because of scarcity or the cost of the original is way out of their financial reach at the moment and they are willing to settle for a very close duplicate or what they are going to be using the item for doesn't warrant the cost of an original.

Our business is a perfect example of this. Much of our business is of a custom nature. We supply items for Interior Designers & Decorators, Movie & Theater Production Companies and private individuals. When we get an order for items for a movie production company for example, the quality of the items is generally less than it would be for interior designers and decorators or for a private individual. The simple fact is that in the movie company’s perspective, the item isn't going to receive much, if any, scrutiny. In fact, it simply background to them. When they are done with it, they often don't care what really happens to it. Often they don't even save the items. In their situation, visible accuracy is far more important than the items authenticity to detail or its material quality. What we charge them is appropriate to what they want, request and receive. On the other side of the table, are private individuals. They usually want the very best. Not only in materials but in workmanship and accuracy. Again, the price we charge is directly related to their wants, requests and what they receive.

When we produce an item, we basically have four quality levels we work within. A "Basic", an "Average", a "High End" and a "Custom Detailed" levels. It would take too much time and space to go into the details of what each level constitutes. Obviously, a "Basic" level item is going to cost much less than a "Custom Detailed" level item for obvious reasons. The items we place in our online stores are generally on the high "Average" to "High End" levels in most instances and we are still able to price them at what we consider very reasonable prices.

Some recommendations for the Buyer of Reproductions:

When we do a custom project for a customer in our B&M. We spend a great deal of time talking with the customer and in research (where applicable) to make sure that we are both going to be happy with the product that is produced. That can be pretty tough in an online store. Descriptions of the item are important, but it just isn't practicable for us to put in a massive description of an item on every item we list online. As a buyer, you will be much happier if you:

1) Ask the Seller as many questions as you need to so you feel comfortable. Don't hesitate to ask for additional information, pictures and details. No respectable seller is going to refuse any reasonable request. Just don't expect to get answers to their trade secrets. If you are thinking of bidding on an item up for auction, please don't wait until the last day of the auction to ask your questions. Particularly if they are detailed ones. The answers to your questions will be much more detailed and accurate if the seller has a little time to work with.

2) Don't hesitate to inquire about the quality of the item, the materials it's made from, its history (if that's important to you) or shipping concerns if you have them.

3) Before you purchase, do your home work. Just because you see two item that look identical online and one is more expensive than the other, don't automatically assume that the expensive one is over priced. Remember the Quality factor. Ask those questions.

4) If the item you have purchased has a problem of any kind, contact the seller immediately. We haven't stayed in business for almost 30 years by ignoring customer problems and neither has any other reputable business. Any good business knows that if you don't satisfy the customer, you don't have them. On the other side of this however, be realistic and honest. I personally have been in this business so long, that I can smell a scam half a continent away.

5) Finally, even if it isn't one of our items your are looking at and need some background information we may be able to provide, we'll be glad to assist you.

What To Look For When Buying Antique & Vintage Reproductions

The two most stated reasons people purchase Antique and Vintage Reproductions are "Price" and "Availability". The price is cheaper than the authentic item and/or they can't find what they are looking for. I've found it is often a combination of the two. This being the case, many people really don't know what to look for when purchasing Antique and Vintage Reproductions. Being an antique collector helps but that doesn't always cover all the bases.

I guess I should first of all differentiate between a legitimate Reproduction and a one that is designed to be used for fraudulent purposes. Very simply put, a reproduction that is going to be used for fraudulent purposes is going to be too accurate. Too detailed and too perfect. There has always been a bit of a stigma against those that make reproductions because of potential use for illegal purposes. Obviously a reputable company that makes reproductions will first of all clearly indicate that any particular product is a Reproduction. That company however will also take steps to make sure that their creation can in no way be used for illegal purposes.

These steps generally come in one of two categories. First is to build into the item specific variations from an authentic item that would be evident to an expert. The second is to insert into the product some type of specific marking or identification marks that, usually only the producer, would know about. Neither of these steps are difficult to accomplish in themselves. A good Reproduction Artist however will be able to do this without the average, and I emphasize the word "average", consumer even knowing it or finding the variation. So that brings up the question of "What does the average consumer look for when buying reproductions?".

1) Smart consumers will buy from well established reproduction companies that have a reputation for honesty. Not only will you obtain a better product, you will probably pay less for it. Good companies will not try to gouge the customer. They want the repeat business. Scammers couldn't care less if a customer ever comes back.

2) Another step a consumer can take is to do their homework. Find several pictures of what you are looking for and compare them to the Reproduction. The reproduction many be a little bigger or smaller, may have a slightly different shade in the stain, or even have differences in the actual aspects of construction. Remember, a Reproduction is different than a Duplicate. Reproductions are designed to impart the same look, feel and visual affect as the authentic item does. Not be its duplicate. In the same area of homework and if possible, find an original. Physically examine it. How does it feel? What are the characteristics that catch your eye? How does it smell? Use your sight, smell and feel to establish in your own mine some benchmark points. Don't forget that a good reproduction will be difficult to determine except through very close examination. Don't be disturbed however if you can't find any differences. Good Reproduction Artists hide the differences very well. That's another reason to deal with a reputable company or artist.

3) Watch the pricing. Except for situation where very accurate reproduction are produced for very specific purposes, most reproductions will be priced much more reasonably than an authentic item. That doesn’t mean the reproduction will be dirt cheap. An artist is worthy of his work and will charge accordingly. There are rare instances where a reproduction may actually cost more than an original because of rarity of materials or large amounts of labor required to produce the item. These circumstances are generally very rare.

4) Talk to the person or company producing the reproduction. How do you feel about them? Let your gut feelings guide you. If you don’t feel comfortable with them, walk away. There are plenty of others.

5) In most instances the majority of Reproduction Companies don’t negotiate on their pricing unless it is a custom reproduction job. Like any other company, they have costs that must be covered and need to charge accordingly for their product. Remember also that you are buying a piece of art not a can of green beans.

Can you tell the difference between an antique and a reproduction? Does it really even matter?

There’s nothing wrong with good quality reproductions. You just want to make sure that you know that’s what you are getting. Here are some additional tips to help you tell them apart.

Wood is Wood is Wood – or is it?. Many true Antiques are prone to be made different types of wood. Why? It just didn’t make economic sense to use expensive wood where no one would ever see it. That’s why certain aspects of a real antique are often made from a lesser quality of wood. The bottoms of drawers and joints for example. Reproductions on the other hand, tend to be made top-to-bottom from one wood and sometimes can be heavily stained to hide a poor quality wood. Check the underside, if the wood seems the same throughout the piece, it may be new. This generally holds true for larger real antiques. However, smaller antiques that are not complicated may have been made from one single type of wood.

Look For Signs of Wear. Do the signs of wear make sense for the particular item? A good example is on a antique chair you will find increased signs of wear at the end of the arms where the hands would naturally rest. Work items that were designed for daily use may very well show signs of use almost anywhere but the corners and handles will most often show greater usage signs than other areas. If the wear is consistent through the piece, it’s possibly a reproduction that has been distressed to appear old.

Look For Signs of age. Look for signs of cracks caused by shrinkage. They indicate that the wood has expanded and contracted over time. This is normal for an antique. Also look for slight signs of warps and separation at joint locations. Certain joint types are more prone to separation than others. Dovetail joints that are well done, seldom show much separation but “butt joints” often do.

A Note About Dovetailing. Dovetails made by machine are even, small and usually thin. During the 18th and much of the 19th century dovetails were made by hand and were usually much larger than you see in modern pieces and also somewhat uneven.

What About Hand Carvings. If you run your finger along the carving and it’s a true antique, it will feel bumpy or uneven. Hand carving is uneven and asymmetrical. Machine carving is smooth and symmetrical. Better quality and expensive reproductions however may often incorporate real hand carvings into the reproduction. A real artist will often do this.

Don’t Forget About Gluing Joints. The modern glues used today are much different than those used 100 or more years ago. Now it’s not very likely that your going to be able to do a chemical analysis of the type of glue used but there are things to look for. Craftsman of the past often used reinforce glued joints in their creations. These joints would often be reinforced with dowels, mortise and tenon etc. to ensure that they were good and sturdy. Depending on the artist creating the reproduction, better quality reproductions may also show this type of craftsmanship. Poor quality reproductions will often only be glued which down the road will lead to them falling apart.
Look At The Construction Materials. Modern day Phillips screws, staples and particle board are all signs of a reproduction. Unless your dealing with a very exceptional company or artist who has the capability to produce very large width boards (boards in excess of 12 inches in width) or access to old lumber, most reproductions are made from commercially produced stock. One seldom finds anything larger than a 12 inch width on any commercially produced stock these days. On antiques with large surfaces (tables, trunks, armoires), furniture makers used wide boards, often with an uneven width. Reproductions generally use narrow boards with an even width.

Does The Hardware Match? Truly old hardware has a natural patina and it doesn’t have a lacquer finish to protect it from tarnishing either. Plus, it isn’t shiny and new looking. Good reproduction artists are capable of taking a piece of new hardware and making it look really antique. This is another indicator that your dealing with a good company when buying Reproductions.

The Advantage Of Buying Reproductions. Buying good quality reproductions eliminates the frustration of hunting for the right piece. Having something custom made ensures you get exactly what you want. A good example is the narrow dimensions of antique armoires. Generally they are 15 to 17 inches. This doesn’t suit many of today’s pieces of electronic equipment. Some dealers, including ourselves, do offer custom reproductions to overcome this predicament.

What Is Country Rustic & Primitive Décor?

What Is Country Rustic & Primitive Décor?

Country Rustic Décor is a popular decorating style these days. Part of the reason is the desire of many people to get back to a more natural life style. The more hectic our lives become, the more we look for ways to relieve the stress we fell. The term “Country Rustic” is a very broad terminology but basically leans towards the concept of the early American country décor of the 1800’s. In reality, it borrows the country style from French, English, Swedish, German and other European countries. Generally defined as simple and charming, coarse and unfinished yet having its own unique and endearing qualities. When one thinks of a home that is decorated in Country Rustic Décor, the usually think of a home that is modest, comfortable and friendly. Rustic country decorating usually includes the use of natural woods, aged surfaces, rough finishes and simple lines. Rustic country decor is about handcrafted objects, simplicity, furnishings that you enjoy and connecting back to nature.

To decorate with Country Rustic Décor basically means using items like antique furniture or reproductions, flea-market pieces, trunks, flower wreaths, quilts, chests, armoires, period appropriate furniture and accessories that basically look 100 plus years old. Everything should look like it is well used and enjoyed. These types of elements will give almost any home the kind of rustic country feel that is simpler, very personal and warmly inviting.

Although some professional decorators may say that there is a specific way to use Country Rustic Décor when decorating, the real truth is that they don’t have to live in your home (at least I hope not) you do. We can and will be making some suggestions in upcoming posts but when all is said and done, you need to use what you like and want, put your items where and when you want, and you need to allow the decorating to be an off shoot of your own personality. Your individual likes and dislikes will be what makes your home – your home!

Tips On Decorating With Country Rustic Pieces

Tips On Decorating With Country Rustic Pieces

Country Rustic furniture is commonly made with pine and perhaps painted with hand-painted designs such as flowers, birds, animals, country scenery or leaves. At other times the wood is stained with natural oils and varnishes. When it comes to decorating, use ladder back chairs, benches, rocking chairs, or even wicker furniture. In the kitchen, a large rectangular table made of pine is a good option for your kitchen or dining room table. A little known fact is that until the era of mass production really took hold, the only way one would obtain a complete dinning room set like we are familiar with today, was to have it custom made. Many Country homes often had a miss match set of chairs that sat around the kitchen table.

Have a piece of furniture you want to give a Country Rustic look to? You can give your furniture a rustic look very quickly if you follow these steps. Brush a coat of paint on the furniture piece, then rub most of the paint off. After it dries, apply wood stain unevenly for an older weathered appearance. It will be perfect and rustic looking!

We use a more elaborate technique in our shop but for the average home owner, the above effect looks and feels very realistic. If you want to add an additional touch, take an old sock and put in a cup full of nuts, bolts, screws and washers. Take and give you piece a few hits with the filled sock in different places on the furniture piece. This will add a little more of a well used effect to the piece. Again, in our work shop, we use much more elaborate techniques that the average person isn’t usually willing or able to undertake.
