The Basics of Primitive Decorating

With everyday life becoming ever more convoluted and complicated, it's no small wonder the comfort and simplicity of primitives is making a comeback. In a way, the term "primitive" decorating is deceptive because it implies a lack of refinement or that constructing in this style requires no skill. But that's not what this decoration format is all about. The foundation of primitive decor, and folk art are rooted in antiques with a splash of shabby chic thrown in. It's not about loading the den with stacks of priceless heirlooms and ancient art to impress snooty neighbors. In fact, primitives are meant to be non-fussy. Going primitive is all about getting back to the basics, keeping and caring for what's most important and - above all else - putting it to darn good use. No settees that you're not allowed to sit on, or prissy knick-knacks that guests are forbidden to touch: The welcoming texture and style of primitives practically beg for the human touch.
