Prims

I'd like to share some of my prim decorating. Now you must be aware that we are "still" remodeling our home, so stuff is temporarily in their places. I'm constantly rearranging things, so I'm sure it will all look different next week, but you will get the idea!

This is my kitchen window. I really like how this came together. My husband is still finishing up a few things in our recently remodeled kitchen, so the window still needs stained and varnished.

I recently found this black I-don't-know-what-you-call-it

at a local antique/prim store. It looks perfect at the end of my kitchen

 counter. I like the display I made up with a couple

of yelloware bowls, a butter mold, a prim doll, and a

 Ball jar that I put spices in with some homespun fabric and label.

I bought the treenware rectangular bowl at a craft shop in Springfield, IL

and the treenware scoop and wooden butter paddle locally.

I love how this looks on the kitchen island. Before I put these

items in the bowl, Holly had claimed it as her own. Actually I felt

rather bad putting anything in it.

Here she is, looking rather comfy and content, until

I ruined it for her!

This is one of my favorite displays in the living room. I've had

the old prim tool chest for many many years, and it's

still one of my favorite pieces. I've used it in many areas in

my home, as a coffee table, and as a trunk in the bedroom. Now

it looks great placed in front of our long stone fireplace.

Displayed upon it is a mercantile cabinet in an unusual shade of mustard.

There's also a basket bouquet of dried black-eye susans,

a framed Simplify picture and a cloth-stuffed prim blessings star.

I love my prim dolls and this is another one of them,

 holding a wire basket of little apples and pears.

Here's a closer shot of my prim doll. I named her

Lucille, after my mom's middle name. I think it fits her!

This is another of my "makeshift" displays that is on

the fireplace mantle in the living room. An old barn door is the backdrop

for this display. I bought the white pottery pitcher on one of our vacations

 in Door County, Wisconsin a couple years ago. My love of old books is

evident and lovingly displayed, with another of my prim dolls sitting

on a stack of some of them. I named her Becca, after my

blond-headed step-daughter.

I've had this shelf for a couple years, and the display is

constantly changing. As of now I'm in the process of getting

ready to decorate for fall, which is my favorite time of year.

This prim picture is one that my sweet husband eyed at a local

antique/prim shop. We both knew it'd be perfect for our new kitchen.

Another small display on  the living room fireplace. I love the

galvanized tin pitcher that's filled with grasses, my old spools, and another

of my prim dolls. I've had her for many years.
