Rainy Day Prim Reads


Happy Friday!  Today was rather a gloomy day.  The temps were in the 50's, but the rain was coming down in buckets.  It was the perfect day for laying on the couch with a few of my favorite prim reads.  I know most of you are probably familiar with these magazines! From left to right- " A Primitive Place, Mercantile Gatherings, A Simple Life and Passion for Primitives.  I love them all for different reasons. All are filled with great room ideas and plenty of prim eye candy, plus great stories!  I just started my subscription to " A Simple Life" and I love it so much that I am trying to acquire all the back issues.  I have had some luck on Ebay and only need 3 more to have them all!  
   Passion for Primitives is a great coffee table book and is filled to the brim with gorgeous pictures.  I am taking my time going through the book because I don't want it to end! I know some of you have noticed my wallpaper that is in the kitchen. I gripe about it all the time and how we are going to paint in here soon. I know my mother in law loved it when she put it up back in the uh...errrr.....70's?  Can you believe it?  It still actually looks good if you like wallpaper.  But I digress...  In the Passion for primitives book, there is a picture of a beautiful prim bedroom with the same wallpaper.  It looks blueish in the picture and my camera lighting, but it is the same paper.  I suddenly am liking it a bit better, ( hey it's good enough for a beautiful book)  but yeah- it's going bye bye and soon! So, if by any chance you have not had the opportunity to enjoy these magazines and book, I recommend them highly! Have a great weekend!

    Is that your wall paper in the magazine? Perfect choice I guess. Love your kitchen.

    Hi, Nadine,
    I have all of those books/ mags too except for the Mercantile one. I have never seen it. I actually love the kitchen wallpaper, I really wish they still made those wallpapers that looked like stenciling. I had one in a house I lived in about 20 years ago. Your kitchen is so prim perfect!

    I just love A Primitive Place magazine. Our next issue should start arriving this week, yay! I really need to subscribe to Mercantile Gatherings and A Simple Life, I keep forgetting.

    I have loved your wallpaper since the first time I laid eyes on it! I guess if I lived with it every day for as long as you have, I probably wouldn't like it so much. But I think your kitchen is beautiful and love the way you have it decorated!
