Featured Artist - Derek McCrea

For all of you who love country decor, we are featuring a new artist - Derek McCrea. We think his work is wonderful and we know you will too.

Right now we are carrying limited edition prints of his colorful watercolors.

Derek has a fabulous collection of colorful country florals featuring daisies, sunflowers and coneflowers.

His new tabletop still lifes are some of our favorites - although we currently have only one available as a print - but others will be out soon.


We will be adding more of his work over time so be sure to stop back often for more artwork from Derek McCrea.

For all your country, cottage-style, shabby chic and country Christmas home decor needs visit The Weathered Gate.

Country Decor with Pizzazz!

If you like farm-inspired country decor and want to opt for a more upscale and colorful look, try decorating around a stunning black area rug featuring a bright rooster design.

For a gorgeous area rug that will get you off on the right track, our Roosters Black Area Rug by Safavieh featuring brightly colored chickens and hens on a black background is a wonderful choice. Adding country red or black painted furniture will really set your color scheme in motion. Adding colorful candleholders like these glass candleholders with a wire frame along with other colorful tabletop and wall decor items in farm-inspired designs will complete this stunning look!
