One of my favorite places to use primitive decor is in the garden. You can use almost anything to create that primitive touch in your outdoor room.
Probably most favorite are antique farm and garden tools. These can be as large as horse drawn plows, to the midsized steel wheeled wheelbarrow, to a small potato planter. I've stacked would crates to create plant stands. Planters included crocks, cast iron buckets and scuttles, and shoes!
One of my friends purchased an old metal frame and headboard from us to create her "flower bed." I'd love to follow through with her bedroom theme and have an old washstand and more!
I've picked up many ideas through the years. My raised beds are made using railroad beams. I've created my herb garden in a wooden ladder on the ground. We talk of surrounding the herb garden with firefighting collectibles, but as of yet, it still has its simple, lovely, primitive theme.
Get out in your yard or on your porch! Take a look around! Can you see a way to add your prim flair out there?
