Women love distressed furniture - things that have been loved and used and bear all the marks of that use. When I was running Sweetwater Country Home, we had some antique, very distressed pieces on the floor. While looking over our pieces one woman told me the story about how she had found a distressed, rustic cupboard with wire on the door fronts. She loaded it into her van and excitedly took it home and asked her husband to help her unload it. He took one look at her “find” and said, “Are we going to keep rabbits?”

Country Living is one of my favorites.
I checked online and found this great site,
Cottage Chic Store.
If you can’t find a naturally distressed bed you like - buy a
new one.

Husbands can be so priceless. I was very smitten by a (new) distressed-looking, antiquey-looking chest and showed it to Beloved Husband. His reaction was that people would think we couldn't afford to buy new furniture. Sigh.
I'll enjoy checking out this website!
very funny story! sometimes the guys just don't get it ;)
