Inside Decor Ideas for a Primitive Home: My Primitive Bedroom

This has been the hardest room for me to nail down. I have bought several different comforter sets only to change my mind, return some and get stuck with the rest. For those of you following my blog you know that originally I wanted to go with a nautical theme, hence, the reason behind me having this beautiful set. We bought a brand new queen-size bed right before we knew the house would actually sell and, unfortunately, the bed is too thick and the comforter about 8-inches too short. So there it sits in the original bag in my closet. Thankfully it fit on the blow up bed we bought so when we have company I can dress it up with this.

Before I got the brainstorm idea to go nautical with the cabin and consequently this house; I was going for a cottage look in yellows and blue; hence the reason for this bedding set. However, we had a California King when I bought this. So another beautiful set stored in my closet. I haven't had any luck selling either one and they are both brand new. Yikes! Thank goodness my husband is a VERY understanding man.

So that brings me to the present...
I have to be sure that this next bedding set is the right one because it will be the last set I buy. So now on to my Primitive Bedroom. I'm really excited about this!

Here's what our bedroom looked like when we did our final walk thru. All of the furniture isn't ours. We have two no frills solid wood highboy dressers and two matching nightstands. They have basic lines and will look awesome painted with black chalk paint when I get to that point. The headboard will have to be replaced. Our bed is the same size as the one in the photo below.

So now you know what I have to work with. Let's start from the ground up shall we?
First thing to go is the carpeting. I want to replace it with wood laminate like in all the rest of the rooms in the house.

This flooring is from the Barnwood Collection. It's called Jefferson Prairie and I found it at

Western Carpet 411.

I want to buy a large braided rug to go under foot of the bed so our feet won't freeze when we get out. Growing up as a kid in house with a raised foundation and hardwood floors I can tell you they do get cold so slippers are a must, but they floors are gorgeous. I particularly like this flooring because it has wide planks and they are rough cut. It will give me the perfect look for my Prim décor. I found this one at Rugs USA. It's from their Easy Living Collection and it's called Rhody Charcoal. They also offer free shipping which is pretty important if you order a large rug.

This is the bedding set I want. It's called Bingham Star and you can find it at a lot of online sites because it's popular. I found it as well as with a wide selection of accessories at Piper Classics, and Allyson's Place. She has some great deals there. Anyway, by the time I'm through it will be a bit pricey but I think it will be worth it.

Here's a description of the quilt ...

Bingham Star bedding features colorful 5-point patchwork stars set on a windowpane check, separated by blocks of fabric strips, a technique passed down by generations of American quilt makers. The color is primarily black and tan with accents of country red, bordered in a classic black check. It has 100% cotton shell and fill, hand quilted with "stitch in the ditch" quilting. This product ships directly from our supplier.

Here's the complete pillow selection that I also found at Allyson's place. They are very reasonably priced. I want everything except the euro pillows.

I found this cute table lamp at Allyson's Place for $59.00! The shade's sold separately. But the lamp itself is 24" tall which makes it perfect for a bedroom table lap. I like that it has the option to have the candle light on, or the light bulb or both. A very good deal for a lamp like this.

I only need the swags and a valance for our window in the bedroom. We have mini blinds. I also found these at Allyson's Place for $23.95. There's matching drapes and bathroom accessories too.

I'm thinking of changing the wall color to bagel. I won't use Sherwin Williams paint though. I'll just take the chip to Lowe's and have them match it using Valspar paint. Our friends are professionals and they say it's the best; almost equal to Dunn Edwards but a lot less expensive.
