Primitive Decor
is Wooden plank floors with the time worn look are being used instead of
linoleum or the hardwood that we needed to re-varnish every year. The
care free of this decor means alot to a working family. The less care we
need to be, the more time we will have for the important things in life
and that is family. The antiques of yesteryear were also made better and
that is a cost effective way to decorate without going broke. We all
want new now, so with a little sand paper, stain, paint and nails, we
can have the primitive style created in a shorter period of time. |

Country Home Decor
is bringing the
outdoors into the home. For instance using twigs for drapery rods or making
grapevine wreaths with wild dried flowers such as lavender, rosehips, bay
leaves, pine cones and more. Growing up on the farm was country. Old wash
boards, galvanized bath tubs, outhouses were all the country things we knew
about. Creating country decor by sewing hand made quilts from old dresses,
or curtains fro m hankies. Simmering potpourri on a pot belly stove filled
the room with the smell of cinnamon sticks roasting on an open flame. Fire
place mantles made from old fences is what we used cause that's all we had.
Dad's socks were our Christmas stockings. Grandma's doilies were made to
protect the furniture or for setting a flower pot on top of.
Patch work quilts over an Abe Lincoln bed cozies up an empty room. Country
is bird's nest set in grape vines hung over a front door. Making something
out of almost nothing is country. The feeling of going back home to our
stomping grounds. Painting rocks, painting on old books, skates or old
windows. Country is the time of the Prairie days or when mom rang the dinner
bell with the old cow bell. Country candles, cinnamon sticks, tart warmers,
colonial tin lighting, old pottery and dishes brings a memory of good times
not forgotten.
