Western Theme Home Accents

I've always liked Western furniture. However, adding
a piece of furniture, might not be in the budget. You can
create Western theme pillows, and boxes, using fabric
scraps.

The lasso box shown below is made with a recycled wooden
box. The lower sides and bottom are finished with leather scraps
and red upholstery trim. The top features a fabric scrap
showing a cowboy, framed in black trim, and twine to finish
the look.

The blue and white striped pillow features a rectangle fabric piece of a cowboy in the center, framed by red bandana fabric. The blue and red "Cowboys around the campfire" box is made from a
recycled cigar box, and black and white striped ribbon, red bandana scraps and red fringe trim.                                                                                    

For a seriously fun Western look, try leather scraps and twine on a box, or cowhide and
nail head trim as shown below.

For this look, I stained a wooden box that I purchased in Mexico, added cowhide to the top,
and nailhead trim.

For the cabinet above, I recycled an oak furniture piece I found at a thrift store. I had some Western
theme tapestry fabric, which I stapled to the front drawer, and door panels. I framed the edges
of the fabric, with leather trim, and upholstery trim. I sprayed the fabric with Scotchguard, to
make it water resistant. On the sides of the cabinet, I added faux leather. It makes a perfect TV stand.
