Primitive American Folk Art

I realized the other day that I sure have a lot of houses within my house and towns on my walls. I really enjoy looking at Primitive American Folk Art. One can get lost in thought while looking at some of these amazing prints. It's like having a story told to you through detailed pictures. Stories of a time when things were simple and uncomplicated and quiet.

About Me

Hi. Welcome. My name is Stephani. I've lived in Idaho most of my life and love to live in my small town where the outskirts are surrounded by fields of corn, beans, sugar beets, and potatoes. I love the farms, pretty old barns, canals, and landscapes that surround our area. We made our home here 10 years ago and recently moved into our forever dream house. I have been having fun decorating each and every corner of it. I like t0 focus on more of the primitive decor. The pieces speak to us of the past and can tell such beautiful stories. The colors and textures and simple patterns of such things make me feel calm and relaxed and rooted. This blog is a journey of some sort for me. As I make things, and find things, and connect with others who share the same interests, I want to capture it all here for keepsake and for others to enjoy.
