Welcome to The Primitive Cottage

Hello, and welcome to my blog site. I live in the mountains of Tennessee and I decided to share some of my ideas for around the house, in the kitchen, or out in the garden. How I work with pieces of furniture and other items to give them a primitive or shabby chic look. I want to share lots of great ways for you to make yard sale or flea market finds into something wonderful for your home, or to resale! Finding furniture or other items at a local auction is another great place to start. Turning those finds into something useful is not as hard as you may think. I do this on a budget, so the treasures that I make do not need to cost a lot to achieve a special look! I hope you will enjoy this cite and visit often as this cite grows.
