Next my friend Claire made me some new curtains out of left over material she had. I chose to lower my curtain rods so you could see the beautiful wood trim around my windows. I think this also gives the room more of a primitive appeal. Bring your curtain brackets in just to the outer edge of your window and down to just cover the top of your window.

 

 

Next I changed all my outlets and switches. They were very old and yellowed.

First, if you're going to do this yourself, make sure you have your power shut off for the room your working on.

I bought some new outlets and stitches at Home Depot. Very inexpensive!

Next I bought those clear plastic outlet covers so I could design my own switch covers.

I found some material scraps I had in my sewing room to use.

Just cut to fit inside the cover, make a small cut in the middle for the switch and you're done!

 

Next I added an old mirror I found at a garage sale for $1.00 over my bed and draped some berry vines over the top.

 

The top of my dresser has a clock on it that I change whenever I want a different look. The bottom picture comes out and I chose to place a vintage card inside.

 

I also took another frame and added an old vintage picture.

 

 

Add some lavender to your drawers to bring back those simpler times of long ago.

I have primitive dolls I place on benches, chairs and on my bed to complete the look.

A quilt I made sits on an old bench at the foot of my bed.

The quilt on my bed was bought at a thrift store for $5.00.

 

Simple touches of spring, such as sprigs of flowers or vines over your windows are all you need. Keep it simple and enjoy your surroundings in your spring primitive bedroom!
