Decorating with Sticks, Rocks, and Trees

As the say­ing goes, “the best things in life are free.”  And I guess you could argue that some of the best decor is free as well, when you con­sider using sticks,rocks, and trees as ele­ments in your design.  I love sticks, rocks, and trees so much that I have devoted and entire bul­letin board on Pin­ter­est to them.  Nat­ural ele­ments in their found state can be very sooth­ing.  The same nat­ural ele­ments can bring unex­pected inter­est when used as a base to cre­ate a func­tional object or a piece of art­work.  Today I will be shar­ing some of the ideas I have found to be beau­ti­ful and inspi­ra­tional that uti­lize these won­der­ful nat­ural elements.

Stick art by Clev­erly Inspired

This piece of art was cre­ated by Tra­cie at Clev­erly Inspired.  She details how she cre­ated it and said it only cost her $2.00.  Bravo!  This piece is won­der­ful and has that sooth­ing feel that I was refer­ring too.  Here is a sim­i­lar one posted by Dana at House Tweak­ing.

A lit­tle more for­mal in its style, but still a very nat­ural feel­ing.  I have also col­lected ideas show­ing how to use rocks in your decor.  Here is one from Lind­say at Liv­ing with Lindsay.

I think rocks are beau­ti­ful and easy to incor­po­rate in sophis­ti­cated ways.  Some­times they make a great base for some­thing whim­si­cal, such as this cre­ation from Mama Tita at Etsy.com

And then there are the trees.  Some images I’m drawn to are wall graph­ics in the shape of trees, pho­tos of trees, and some very won­der­fully done paint­ings of trees.  I espe­cially love this artist’s work.  His name is Dave Wat­land and more of his work can be found here.
