Rustic City Living:
Rustic City Living is run by Amy and Kristy, two childhood best friends that always knew they would open a business together. Flash forward years later, and the two friends have started Rustic City Living – a term that they say describes their style and their upbringing in Sparta, MI.
Rustic City Living offers a slew of handmade, woodwork items. The products range from entertainment centers to beer caddies and are made out of the co-owners homes. You can view Rustic City Living’s website to see their custom-made works of art, or you can place an order for a customized made-to-order product. If you’re a Pinterest-junkie, Rustic City Living’s stylish and charming products are for you.
