Before You Start (Read This So You Don’t Regret It Later)
Decide on your favorite WESTERN Style FIRST!
Pick one dominant style you want before you purchase a wagon wheel 3 feet in diameter (don’t ask…). So, before you start shopping, decide if you love ranch, desert, lodge, or vintage cowboy best! From there, any accessories you add should complement, not compete.
A few other money + sanity saving tips:
- Pick 2–3 BASE colors and stick with them
- Start with “layers” such as bedding, rugs, and artwork before sinking funds into furniture.
- If it looks like a cheesy cowboy costume shop, you’ve gone too far.
- There’s no need to go antique hunting- texture is more important than age.
Ok, now you’re good to go lol.
