The beauty of twig furniture

by Patti Boker Elkon on December 3, 2009

Rustic furniture comes in handy when a home craves a touch of relaxed style. I came across a set of twig furniture this weekend while on a visit to Cold Spring N.Y., a small town that sits along the Hudson River.  This settee and chair were a perfect match for the covered porch that I found them on.

Here’s a close up of each peice.  They are actually charming in their own right.  This set was a bit weathered but it only added to their charm.

This find lead me on to search for more interesting twig products.  I love the red bentwood rocker shown here.  Although it is a bit more pastoral when the furniture is not painted, adding paint bumps this product up a notch.

The rustic rocker shown here has a country feel that the painted rocker does not.

Wow, this bed is over-the-top twig!  I love the way the bedding and floor cover ties in the green color scheme.

This bench is a combination of finished and natural wood.  The combination makes sense from a comfort angle, I would hate to catch my stockings on a piece of bark…  Believe it or not, twig furniture is green and if you really want to get into the groove you can make your own

OMG I hate twig furniture. Shocker. I know.

I do like that red rocking chair though – very sexy.
