About Us / Company Policies

Rustica Ornamentals specializes in unique attractive home, garden and seasonal decor. We offer a exclusive selection of rustic garden art and accents for the home and holidays. Custom orders are welcomed!!

It all started when Chris Lerner & Krista Tulisano created a few yard ornaments for enjoyment in their own back yard, after giving a few of them away for Christmas presents and recalling the overwhelming response from friends and family, they decided they had to start Rustica Ornamentals LLC. Chris formally a Johnson and Wales graduate working as a chef for over 15 years. Chris had branched out into working with decorative plastics, metal and welding. Krista is a former Memphis College of art student who worked as an Advertising Marketing Manager. With Chris and Krista’s artistic and marketing background combined, they produced RusticaOrnamentals.com creating hand crafted original Home, garden & Seasonal Decor.

Company Policies:

All of our items are handcrafted by my husband and I in Connecticut. We hope that you love our creations as much as we love making them. Our current turnaround time is 1-60 business days for stocked items, 1 - 12 (work weeks) for personalized items 

Privacy screens 3-16 week lead time

There is a $35.00 admin fee for cancelled custom orders

We do not accept cancellations on custom orders after we have started working on the order

Custom Orders take much longer than stocked items (1 - 12 work weeks).

Please contact us if you need an item by a certain date so we can try to accommodate your needs**** 

Due to the fact that life can get complicated, and this is an artistic endeavor, not a mass production, my turn around time is only an estimate, not a guaranteed (especially during busy season / Christmas & late spring).

****Please Note - We have a large inventory but items run out and need to be remade and many items are made to order.

Returned stocked items:

We do NOT accept returns

How do I personalize my order?
All personalization information should be placed in the "notes to seller" box during the checkout process. * THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.* If this is not provided, it will slow down our ability to process your order quickly.
