Rustic/Southwestern

 
 
 

rustic / sw

You are at home in the desert. Your Redfin saved search area includes Joshua Tree, Marfa, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Your fashion inspiration is Georgia O'Keefe, or is it Ralph Lauren? You love raw materials, like rough-hewn wood and unfinished steel. You spend your free time scouring thrift shops and roadsides for something you can repurpose. Your pottery collection is small but growing and boasts both vintage and new artists from around the country. When you make a purchase you start with ebay for that perfectly imperfect worn saddle tan leather club chair, or is it the 1940s red and black Navajo rug. Your palette is neutral, not unlike the desert landscape. You feel at home in the outdoors and want to bring as much of it into your home as possible.
