Just In! At the Showroom

There is a lot going on right now at Home on the Range! We have a lot of great projects that we’re working on, and we have also had about 10 different shipments of new inventory come in over the past few weeks! There is some really incredible stuff that we’ve been unpacking, and today I wanted to share a few of my favorites (but by no means an exhaustive list). All of these pieces are available for purchase right now at the showroom, along with so much more. Come in and see all of our beautiful new things for yourself!

This is a barrel- and an end table! I love this sooooo much, it looks even better in person. It’s great because normal barrels are big- they just can’t really be used for tables unless you get super creative, but this barrel is the perfect size for between living room chairs, or as an accent in a bedroom.

Barrel End Table

We have all sorts of different twig lamps, in different sizes with different shades and colors. These lamps are great because they are rustic and natural and perfect for mountain lodges and cabins without being too hokey.

We also have all sorts of new hurricanes and candle holders! This tall cylindrical hurricane is one of my favorites because it can add an unassuming style to just about any space, and it’s easy to match with almost anything that is already existing.

Hurricane Lantern

We have mirrors galore! We don’t even have enough places to hang them all! This hand finished carved mirror with gold accents makes a great statement.

Here’s another example of the variety of accessories we have right now- these come in three different bright (but still distressed) colors- red, yellow and blue! We had one customer in earlier this week who commented how neat these would be incorporated into a tiered porch arrangement. What do you think?

Vintage Lantern

We have carried these vintage bottles for a while now, but they just seem to keep coming in more unique and interesting every time! They even come with dirt and liquid still in them and we clean them out before putting them on the floor- that’s how you know they’re for real!

Fun with Faux Fur: The Product Post

Earlier this week we talked about faux fur, why we love it, and where to put it. Today, we’re going to share with you some of our very favorite faux fur products! All of these products are either in stock at the showroom or can be ordered by simply contacting us!

This faux fur beaver neck roll would be a perfect finishing touch for many different styles of bedding ensemble. Whether you have a comfy lodge collection or an elegant chalet feel, this neck roll will fit right in. Did I mention that it’s probably the softest and most comfortable thing in the whole world?

What I love about the coyote faux fur is how natural and woodsy it looks. While other faux furs can be dressed up or down, this one is pretty casual, and perfect for rustic environments. We currently have a couple of these throws on hand in the showroom, come snuggle up in one!

Coyote Faux Fur Throw and Pillow

How cute is this faux fur trimmed stocking? This is the perfect accessory for Christmas in the mountains- it would look great in a condo, home, second home, Santa’s sleigh… whatever really!

Stocking with Faux Fur

These faux fur trimmed soft goods are some of my favorites. I love the tweed fabric, the lodge motif embroidery, and, of course, the faux fur on the edges adds so much to these pieces! While they don’t necessarily work amazingly for drying dishes, they sure look great!

Fun with Faux Fur

We love using faux fur in home decor. We’ve talked about it briefly before in other posts, but today faux fur gets a post all its own… maybe because it’s suddenly so cold outside! That fluffy, soft, warm texture is more than welcome in any mountain home, and there are more ways to incorporate it than you might think!

Throws and pillows are the most common way to bring snuggly faux fur into your space. Depending on your style, you can choose from a variety of colors and textures- you can select faux animals ranging from Coyotes to Snow Leopards to Chinchillas!

Chinchilla Faux Fur

Beaver and Black Bear are a couple of our favorites when it comes to softness, but we also love Coyote and Raccoon for their rustic style, and Tibetan Fox for its classy elegance.

Used as an accent in a living room, faux fur brings an instant inviting warmth to the space.

When used in bedding, faux fur delivers an irresistible urge to climb right in and snuggle up.

If you are looking for a different way to use faux fur, we are seeing ottomans and poufs gaining in popularity.

You can also try a sheepskin rug to add that fluffy look to the room in a creative way that is also a delight for the feet!

While you by no means HAVE to use faux fur specifically, there are a few reasons that we do suggest it. The first is that you have a fantastic selection of colors and textures- for instance, I don’t think that real Tibetan Fox blankets are very widely available. Second, the price point is generally much better when it comes to faux fur, and the results are the same every time. If you need a match or a replacement, you can get one without any hassle. Third, this probably isn’t a huge issue, but there are a lot of people out there with allergies to animals and animal fur. This is a main reason that we generally suggest our clients order down alternative as opposed to down pillows- while you might not be allergic, there is a possibility that guests or family members might!

Stay tuned for our next post, where we will share some of our favorite faux fur products with you! In the mean time, you can see more faux fur decor ideas on our Pinterest boards, or follow us on Facebook for great design inspiration daily!

Looks We Love: Ralph Lauren

At Home on the Range, we are kind of obsessed with Ralph Lauren fabrics. I think it’s safe to say that. Not only are the colors beautiful, the styles timeless, and the materials top notch, but many of the collections fit seamlessly into our Rugged Elegant mountain design visions. Though many of the patterns stay the same (because, like we already talked about, they are timeless), Ralph is always ahead of the curve when it comes to colorways. There are hundreds of different Ralph Lauren patterns and colorways, but our favorites tend to be wools and linens, plaids, casual florals and native prints. Below are some beautiful pictures that show the diversity of these lovely textiles, and also one of our new favorites!

This sofa incorporates a really creative mix of different fabrics that are perfect for a rustic and maybe slightly eclectic mountain lodge.

The neutral hues in this living room, and I can’t even imagine how lovely it must feel to curl up on that sofa! The mix of faux furs and wool would be heavenly!

This is a great example of a little bit different way to use Ralph Lauren textiles- rather than in just pillows, bedding or upholstery, here they have used one of Ralph’s Sacred Mountain blanket fabrics for draperies, and another Trading Post collection fabric for the bench cushion. Love this!

Though there are so many different ways to incorporate Ralph Lauren fabrics into your room, I think that bedding is probably one of the most delightful- you can’t beat the heaviness and warmth of wool on cold nights!

Last but not least, we wanted to share one of the patterns from the newest collection that just came out this summer, which we absolutely adore!

Fall Favorites

Well, I think that fall is actually almost over here in Steamboat Springs, CO (too soon, too soon!), but it even though it was a short one, it was an incredibly beautiful one! We had reds, golds, oranges, yellows, burgundies, peaches, pretty much any warm color tone that you can imagine. Then, picture those colors dusted with a layer of brand new snow- it was spectacular! As we begin to watch the leaves flutter to the ground, and as the air changes from “a little bit crisp” to “see your breath all day”, we wanted to take a chance to share some of our fall favorites this year- things that make us love and appreciate the season! And, though mother nature has decided that fall is on it’s way out here in Steamboat, the season continues through Thanksgiving so at least there’s still plenty of time to take advantage of fall decorating and pumpkin spice lattes!

Acorns are such a great little decorating tool. They really help to bring the outdoors in with a neutral color and natural feel.

Wool blankies! And Pendleton wool blankies no less! Need I say more?

The colors in these acorns are just beautiful, have you ever seen acorns in these colors?

This is a great rustic fall tablescape. The flannel table runner looks fantastic over the burlap, and the sunflower adds such a pretty accent!

I would love to spend the fall here. Right here. With a Pendleton blanket.

Great colors here! They all tie in together nicely, and the mix of the rustic frames with the more transitional soft goods and accessories make a cute little space!

I just love this pinecone arrangement. The colors and the leaves and the berries and the burlap are perfect for fall!

This is a great decor idea that could transition from fall to Christmas decor- love the unique use of cranberries and hydrangeas!
