About My Business

Paige Koester and her partner, Mariah Bushue, have created a business called Simply Rustic. Simply Rustic offers decorative wall decor made from wooden pallets, customized to fit your style. Simply Rustic will design its products to fit your home, and they’ll even find a spot for your favorite quote or your name. Along with pallet art, they’re selling wine racks with built-in glass holders – also customizable, of course. The firm’s mission is to create a rustic environment within your home, while assisting you in adding your personal touches with their products. You can contact them at simplyrustic2015@gmail.com. In the fall, Paige is off to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on a pre-medicine track. Her future plans are to come back to Effingham to live, practice, and start a family.
