Some Primitive Essentials

Today I put up a few things in my room to give it a definite "primitive" feel. I hung an old framed mirror over my bed with some berry vines draped over the top. I put on a quilt I bought at a thrift shop for $5.00 and a throw pillow I made. And then I changed the picture in my clock and added a vintage pic to a cute frame I also found at a yard sale! Enjoy!

New Switchplates

Today I decided to redo my switchplates. First I went downstairs into my sewing room to look for scraps of fabric to use. I bought the clear plastic switchplate covers and cut some material to fit inside. I think they came out really cute! Here's a pic of one I did.

My Dad

Here's a pic of my dad I decided to put in my primitive bedroom. The frame was a worn brassy color so I decided to go over it with some white paint and then take a little off with a cloth to give it that old worn look. Since the wall color is so dark I thought the lighter colored frame would stand out more. My grandmother had this done in l924.
