Guest Picks: Playtime Primitives
— Rita from Fighting Off Frumpy
Simply genius! This reclaimed ladder has gotten a valuable second chance at life, coming back as a bookshelf. It is so cute.
This Etsy seller makes tons of cute light switchplates and outlet covers, but I like this crackly sheep the best.
This is the most awesome chest of drawers! I love the stars, and that each piece is unique and made in the U.S.
Every kid's room needs a place to sit and read or daydream. It helps if that place is as cute as this little bench.
This Etsy seller has a huge variety of personalized items — you can get virtually any type of blocks you want. What a cute idea for a shelf!
Backpacks, jackets, robes and other hangy-things would be right at home on this rustic rack!
This shelf (made with reclaimed wood, which is a plus) would be perfect for holding primitive decor.
What primitive space would be complete without a rag rug? This one looks nice and squishy. Bonus: Its oval shape and stripes would make it an excellent toy car racetrack!
In keeping with the primitive-Americana theme, this is a perfect crowning touch for the wall. It's cheerful and patriotic, rustic and peaceful. Not to mention totally hand-painted — wow!
Every kid likes to see his or her name on stuff. This sign can customize any space and it can be ordered in a variety of colors, too!
Nothing says rustic like a handmade quilt. This one comes in a variety of sizes, from throw to king.
This bunk bed is made from rough-sawn pine and would fit in perfectly with a prim decor. Can't you just picture this dressed up with a cozy homespun quilt?
A primitive room doesn't look so prim when there are modern bells-and-whistles toys strung all over the place. Luckily, there are cute toy boxes, such as this, to store them away!
While this kid-sized recliner doesn't exactly fall into the primitive category, it would still fit in wonderfully and add to the cozy feel. It would look extra-inviting with a throw pillow or a mini-sized quilt.
Where do I begin? First, it's a cute little barn (which I love). Second, there's an electric candle inside (no burning the house down) that can be lit independently for a nightlight, or in conjunction with the actual lamp bulb for a bright glow!
Simple and cushy, this pillow is perfect for daydreaming or night dreaming.
I can just visualize these rustic shutters paired with a homespun Americana valance.
I've never seen such a detailed ceiling fan — this one is to die for! There's no better way to top off a primitive space.Next: Style 101: The Birthplace of Today's Rustic Look
This hand-painted sign is bright, yet looks like it's been swiped from a playroom of long ago.
