Decorating with primitive country craft items is a fun journey through antiques and one-of-a-kind arts and crafts. A few items are “must have” choices for collectors and first-time primitive decorators.
Primitive country decor can be a diverse and unique style of home decorating. Choosing the right items to decorate your home can include a few essentials and favorites that every primitive decorator wants to include in their decor.
Antique Crocks
Antique crocks from the 1800’s are the perfect finishing touches for any primitive collection. Heavy crocks meant for butter and other substances come in subtle colors like cream or brown, often with brand marks painted on. These much-coveted accessories appear in collection ranging from primitive New England to Southern country decor.
Mason Jars
Perfect for filling with potpourri, ornies, “fixin’s”, or left empty, these clear or blue-tinted glass jars define the country concept of food canning, “moonshine”, and other traditions of rural life. Whether used as a vase for wildflowers or filled with dried beans or herbs, they look great tucked on a shelf or table.
Tin Signs
These classic signs can be original or reproductions, but their simple sayings and faded appearance creates a sense of the past. Old slogans, vintage advertisements, and common phrases are popular choices for collectors and new decorators alike.
Old Quilts
Whether vintage, antique, or a new handmade piece, the timeless patterns of quilts are perfect for draping over sofas or chairs or covering a bed. Whether in use or on display, these quilts are both decorative and utilitarian, as anyone knows who’s curled up with one on a cold night.
