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 a lot 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. |
Available for shop owners or distributors are our wholesale framed
country and primitive prints and signs by Gail Eads. There are many to
choose from and upon request they will be signed by the artist.
The floral line is made up of the lily of the valley, morning glory,
day lily, sunflower, wild rose and daffodil. Other pictures are
Blessed, Amazing Grace, Keep Christ in Christmas, The Lord's Prayer
and The Lord is my Shepherd. There are lots more to choose from. Add
these to a prairie home setting, set inside a cabinet with a tin lamp
or hang on a wall next to a twig wreath or berry swag for the
primitive decor look.

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 from 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.
