From candlesticks to boot scrapers, whether you live in the countryside or just love country living, our rustic style pieces are sure to suit your home.  Our beautiful items are a must for horse lovers and equestrians, handcrafted in the forge at Anvil Cottage from used and new horseshoes. A lot of our inspiration comes from the shape of the horseshoe which lends itself to natural organic designs.

With the arrival of Autumn, the trees are awash with leaves in warm tones of mustard yellow, burgundy red and burnt brown. As the cooler months arrive, we turn our attention to creating a warm, welcoming feeling in our homes. Here at Anvil Cottage Crafts, we offer a range of attractive decorative and functional pieces that will help you create a cosy country home this season.

This Autumn our Country Living styled pieces are Inspirational

1. Keyrack

After a busy day at work or an action-packed weekend away, there is nothing nicer than arriving home and turning the key in your front door. You can then start to unwind and relax. However, where do you put those all-important keys? How often do you frantically search for them in the morning when the clock is ticking and you’re running late? Our horseshoe key rack is the perfect place to store your keys and will mean no more frantic searches!

The rustic horseshoe key rack is made from new horseshoe nails and a single horseshoe. The racks are made from used horseshoes, so each one is completely unique. The key rack will make a real style statement for any visitors, signalling that they are entering a cosy country living styled home .

2. Horseshoe Doormat/Boot Scraper

It’s the time of year for muddy Autumn walks with the dogs and the satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot as we go about our daily lives. The last thing you want is dirty boots or shoes traipsing through your home. Our horseshoe doormat/boot scraper will clean any mud from the bottom of shoes or boots.

Made from new horseshoes surrounded by a steel frame, the doormat while being really useful is also stylish. Here at Anvil Cottage Crafts, we pride ourselves on making beautiful pieces that are practical too. A perfect gift for any horse lover or for anybody moving into a new home.

The boot jack can be made from your horse’s shoes, just let us know and we’ll make it happen. For strength and durability, the horseshoes are welded together.
