Room by Room Primitive Decorating

bringing "yesterday" back to your home

Primitive decorating is a feeling of warmth and simplicity. It speaks to our very soul and brings back a time of quiet, uncomplicated living.

We will be discussing how, inexpensively, we can recreate a primitive home using things we may already have. Things like buttons, raffia or twine, ribbon, paint, stamps, stencils, pieces of homespun fabric, old jars and tins, and crates are just a few of the things you might find anywhere in your home.

The following five topics will be discussed for each room of the home to make decorating in a primitive style fun and enjoyable and how to get the most from your Country Decor.

Colors

This is the first area we will be discussing. What are some of the primitive colors that make a room so inviting? From wall colors to colors in our rugs and wall hangings, we need the right colors in a room to make it warm and inviting.

Fabrics

Fabrics come into play when choosing bedding, window treatments, lamp shades and other things that will make you step back in time to our early American roots.

Primitive Essentials

This is an area everyone who loves primitive decor will be very excited about. We will discuss things such as primitive dolls, old photos and frames, candles and candle holders and things that really complete our rooms. Try MeMe's Country Store for a great variety of primitive essentials!!

Furniture

Primitive and early American furniture is extremely fun to shop for. Yard sales, estate sales and antique shops are just a few places to find items to furnish your primitive home. You probably even have some old furniture sitting in a basement or attic. We will tell you just where to find primitive and rustic furnishings right under your nose! Try shopping at Click Here! for a unique experience in furniture buying.

Hopefully, this site will bring back some of that early time when people thought home truly was "where the heart is".
