Rustic Wood Kit or Stuff Pack

I think a rustic wood furniture and decor pack would fit well with many design styles: farmhouse, boho, industrial, cottage, etc. by rustic wood I mean like slices of a tree trunk used as an end table that shows the wood grain circles of the tree trunk. Reclaimed wood style furniture. Not necessarily rough furniture, but like different tones of wood so it looks like reclaimed wood. Although, I’d love to see some rough furniture pieces too. And it would be great if each piece came with the same wood tone swatches so they are cohesive. It would be amazing if we could get rustic wood countertops too! This I think puts it in stuff pack territory, but I’d love to see raw wood edge sliced counter tops! Probably a pipe dream. But, this type of stuff pack would be very versatile and I’d say popular as well. Perfect pack for pallet beds and sofas too! So, it could definitely be a well rounded stuff pack. Just my thoughts!

  • @ImagineBuildPlay that's a great idea. I've been using a raw wood/rustic theme a lot in my builds recently and I'd love to see more added. I'm not too keen on the furniture that can be crafted on the woodwork table and I feel like I've used just about everything that's currently available from packs/kits.

  • @ImagineBuildPlay I would also like to see more of this rustic to semi-rustic style. I try frequently to find a way I can add the raw-edge accent/hallway table(below) for homes that are rustic or trendy... it can go either way. And even in a pretty mid-road or even trendy (or homey) home, some areas of the home, porch and yard are great for more rustic pieces. For instance, I would love to have a couple of dining room table sizes with a raw edge, a coffee table with a raw edge, and even an end table would be nice.  

    And my favorite dining table in the game is semi-rustic... from Cats & Dogs . These types of styles can go with many types of homes and add personality:


    I also use the apple crate a lot for these reasons, and the stump chairs and twisted branch chairs from Outdoor Retreat:

    However, I do find that I tend to avoid the other solid-log furniture except outdoors and on the more rustic types of lots. It's super chunky and doesn't have the personality of these other items.

    Anyway, I would love to see more of these interesting pieces that can work for many types of lots, and more of the full-out rustic stuff, also. You definitely have my 'XP' and Me Too' on this.

    Plus... I completely agree with you, @simsplayer818 ...I love the idea of using the workbench, but the items you can make with it, even with handiness of 10, lack interest and personality to me. I would be using it a LOT if I could make really cool items with it (for example, if you could make some items like those above, that's they type of thing a mid to good craftsman could make that people love). And a craftsman with skill of 10 should be able to also make some beautiful pieces with lovely and unique detail. I usually have a workbench on the lot and don't use it unless an aspiration requires it, because I don't use the items they make.
