The twig hook hardware and leaf nature wind chimes add to your rustic mountain home or Arts and Crafts Movement bungalow. All of the Arts and Crafts Movement and rustic log cabin decor items are functional, beautiful and many are handmade. The Arts and Crafts Movement / Arts and Crafts Period were not only popular decorating styles in the late 1800s and early 1900s but also it was a philosophical movement. A reaction to the mass production and frilly Victorian Era home decorating items and architecture the Arts and Crafts Movement promoted simple, hand crafted, well designed and functional art such as handmade embroidered linen, hammered copper, vases and home accessories. Designers and architects such as Gustav Stickley, Dard Hunter of the the Roycrofters, and Frank Lloyd Wright developed their own unique style of the Arts and Crafts Movement. In the Adirondacks in upstate New York during the late 1800s and early 1900s Great Camps for wealthy city people such as the Vanderbuilts and Posts and hotels, cabins and lodges for vacationers enjoying nature were being constructed by designers such as William Durant. In the National Parks throughout the country particularly in the West grand lodges were built for vacationers looking to enjoy our Nation's natural wonders. Many of the designers and builders of these structures decorated with the beautifully simple furniture and accessories of the Arts and Crafts Movement and also rustic furnishings made from surrounding natural materials. The colors of the period took on nature's colors of warm muted greens, copper tones, soft golds and tans. |
