Prim Bed Pillows

I made these 2 pillows from some left over material I had downstairs in my sewing room. I chose to do one side of each pillow in toile and the other side in a floral print and a homespun plaid. I just used fiberfill to stuff each one but you could use a pillow form. When I get tired of one side I just flip them over to get a whole new look! Don't you just love decorating?

Old Family Pics

I bought these frames at a local thrift store really cheap! I thought they went well with the wall color and trim. Here's some pics.

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!

Primitive Curtains

I next put up curtains my friend Claire made for me. I moved the rods down just to the top of the window so you could see the nice contrast between the wall and the wood trim. I also brought them in on the sides so it would give the same effect.

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.

"Betsy Ross House" Brown

Well I finished painting the room and hanging curtains. The curtains were made by my friend Claire. I purposely lowered them on the window so you could see the beautiful woodwork around the window. The sharp contrast between the trim and wall color is beautiful. Next I'll be changing all my wall switches and plugs! Very easy to do!
