Primitives

Primitives refer to decorations for your home that are Colonial, and Classic American.
They are usually very rustic, or are made to appear much older by playing with finishes.
Above is an ACEO I created to honor this tradition for my kitchen. It graced my wall in a tiny black frame for several years. I loved all the elements and wanted something that incorporated them all. It was impossible to find, so in true primitive style, I made it myself.

Copper and tin play a big role in prim design as well. As do tiny check patterns, gingham, and chintz. I saw a curtain made up from thin scraps of these fabrics knotted over a tension rod. It was so charming and effective. Go classic country and pick up a few primitives for your home. You'll love their personality and lived in feel!
