Trend Alert - Faux Bois

 
The term Faux Bois comes from the French for false wood.  It is the artistic imitation of wood grain.  In Mexico and Texas the style is sometimes known as "El Trabajo Rustico" or The Rustic Work.  It fits very well with the current design world's love for all things natural.  If you are looking to achieve an industrial loft or western/mountain lodge look in a particular room, incorporating one or more décor items reflective of this trend will go a long way.  Here are a few items you might want to consider.
