I love the blue trunk as a coffee table. The wood plank ceiling is great. Chandelier—new, but fabulous. Like the redware plates. Look deeper … can’t help but appreciate the purple-tones of the flowers in the crock and the bright green apples in the wooden bowl. I’m a sucker for buffalo checks, too.
Here’s another … very simple, you could say sparse. Like the look of the game board behind the wood bowls. Layers of texture appeal to me. Wingback chairs to capture the heat from the hearth. Again with the flowers—I can’t get enough of the bright & cheery black-eyes Susans.
Though I don’t normally like the bright wood tones and stark white chinking of a logs on interior walls (seems too busy to me, but I’m weird!), the muted tones of the old wood here are gorgeous. The floor is fabulous too.
Do you love antiques? Have a room—or a house—devoted to primitive country style? Send me your photos. Tell me what you love. I’d love to see!
I haven’t bought an issue of Better Homes and Gardens in years. Never saw much in them that interested me, but I’m loving these prim rooms! Makes me want to redecorate.
Are these photos you found on a web search or in the current issue? I think need to pick up a copy.
