coundustrial 

The tricky act of mixing country and industrial decorating styles. This style of decor was invented by a cool chick on the northern Oregon Coast, who has talent for mixing the absurd in decor. She just thinks it's okay to color out of the lines. And so, she does. FYI-throwing a couple of creepy things into the mix makes it even more interesting.
Chrome & aluminum, mixed with old tins, dark hardwood floors. Wainscoting and metallic paint above it. 1950's aluminum cookie jars are a good example of coundustrial. They were the industrial look at the time, but are now old enough to be considered a country accent.
