Why I became drawn to the primitive style of decorating

2007-02-09T15:47:00.000-06:00

A very nice lady "Mary Roberson from Handmade Heartfelt" email me this wonderful article for our newsletter!! But I just couldn't wait to share it with you!!

Why I became drawn to the primitive style of decorating...

I wasn't initially drawn to prim decor or country styledecorating, but one day as I walked through anAntique Shoppe, I began to recall fond memories ofmy grandmother, and other loved ones, who had already passed away. I began to feel a yearning for a simpler, less complicatedlifestyle. I recognized many vintage items, as well as antiques,that I recall seeing as a young child. Those were the daysbefore remote controls, VCRs, microwaves, and cell phones. The concept behind primitive decorating is intended to reflect days gone by. Old worn clothing and accessories,adorned with antique laces and tatted trims, are reminiscent of an era of elegance and gentility. Prim decorating can encompass everything from old wood furniture, quilts, lace, old tools or kitchen gadgets, really anything that reflects your personal taste. An "eclectic" sort of theme, themixing old and new things, is perfectly acceptable. In fact, it has become fashionable to take something new and 'distress it', or 'antique it' to give it the appearance of wear and tear. In our grandparents era, everything was used and recycled. Nothing was considered "disposable", except the trash. And, at times, even that served a purpose...such as apple peelings being hung to dry and then later being used like a string, to tie or bundle things together or animal fat (tallow) being used to make soap or candles. Families spent time together and survived by making use of what they could grow, make, or barter. Clothing was recycled into quilts or passed down among family members. Quilts weren't just used to keep family members warm at night, they also reflected their life, often painting a picture of each family member's own story. Candle light served a functional purpose. Hurricanes were created because of the inherent fire hazard and also to prevent the candlefrom being extinguished by drafts or strong winds. Locating and decorating with primitives... Searching and finding primitive things can be quite a treasure hunt. And who doesn't love to hunt for treasure? Estate sales, local craft or antique Shoppe’s, auctions, online Shoppe’s, flea markets and tag sales can often be places to locate a variety of different things that can be used to decorate our homes. Try to envision using an item for something other than what it was originally intended, for example, try using an old shutter (or shelf) to make a make-shift picnic table by propping it between 2 saw horses. It could also be used as a tableto for your plants and gardening tools. Primitive country decorating is versatile. A decorator's tip for making different items visually mesh is to find a theme that ties your items together. This could be as simple as a collection of similar items or items in a similar color scheme. For example, buttons and thread spools stored in glass jars lend a prim look when paired with othersewing or craft related items. If you are fortunate, you may have things in your home, or in your atticthat have been passed down through the generations. But if not, don't despair, you can create the "prim look" yourself. My aunt had only afew antiques left, due to down-sizing into a smaller home, but she created the look by utilizing the concept of "less is more". Even thoughshe had only a few things, she called attention to them by allowing themto be center stage and building a setting around them. For example, sheinherited our Family Bible, and placed it on her antique table. She further accentuated it by placing a pair of old lace gloves and bifocals, that she purchased from an estate sale, alongside the our Family Bible. Use an old tin water pitcher as a vase for fresh flowers, old luggagecan be stacked and used as a side table, or use an old lace curtain as a table cloth. Bring the outdoors in by hanging an old, small mailboxon the wall to house your outgoing mail and keys. Baskets can be turnedon their side and hung on a wall to provide storage of small items. Be creative, enjoy the process and most of all, have fun reflecting on the past! © 2006 Mary Roberson, Handmade Heartfelt BIO: I have been crafting since I was child. I was taught how to crochet by my grandmother, taught clay pottery and painting by our school arts teacher, needlework embroidery from my 6th grade teacher, quilting by my aunt and gardening by my mom. My father was a shutterbug, so naturally, photography and scrapbooking interest me greatly. Thankfully, my love of arts and crafts has carried over into my adult life. We live in Eastern NC, and our 3 dogs are part of our family. In addition to working outside the home full time, I am owner of a website dedicated to my love of Primitives and Home Decor.
