The rustic wood is gorgeous, and would probably have me questioning it also. I like the mix of natural with white and you know, if given the chance and a free day with a paint brush all kinds of stuff get the white treatment around here! See? not much help! I know whatever you do it will be gorgeous! Have a fabulous day!
