How to Decorate Gritty Prim, Part 2/Primitive Home Decor

[@madeleinewinterdown3256]

Lovely lady. Not a piece of plastic in the whole house. She is a legacy of her parent's teaching. Great tour!

[@AnneClay]

You’re right. I didn’t see any plastic!

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

So cozy and relaxing. I knew a woman who did this primitive look over 30 years ago. It charmed me. She was so hardcore that no lights were on her holiday tree. She kept an old pine box filled with pinecones by the door and it was delightful. I have a kitchen with open hardwood shelving that I stained that look about 300 years old....like timber. It's a fun and relaxing vibe. Especially at holiday season.

[@AnneClay]

Sounds wonderful! Love the pinecomb by the door idea!

[@barbarahowdershelt7475]

I just love love primitive.thank you

[@AnneClay]

You’re very welcome!

[@DearlyDeborah]

I’m so happy to have found your channel! In a minimalist kind of world, I don’t fit in. I love my prim collections. I’ve found my people, even if you are states away from me. ♥️

[@AnneClay]

Aw welcome aboard! We've got lots of maximalists, collectors and some more minimal leanings around here - we're a full bodied group!

[@lindakinsman6215]

I learned a lot too, I could listen to that lady for hours. She's awesome ❤️

[@AnneClay]

I could too Linda!

[@adelinecarrillo2875]

My heart is so happy here...so glad I found you

[@AnneClay]

I’m so glad you found me too!!

[@madeleinewinterdown3256]

One of the most powerful lesson : do what you love. It's your house. Your name is on the deed, do what you want with your own home.

[@AnneClay]

Absolutely 100 percent!

[@donnaendres3235]

I loved listening to Karen! An amazing home, lots of ideas and I found my love of decorating and constantly moving things around is normal. Yay, I’m normal!!!

[@AnneClay]

Love that! You're normal - we're all normal!! We're just creatives!

[@jantrewitt4058]

Oh my, that woman is a treasure of information! Her home is a treasure also. What a neat adventure you took us on! Thanks Anne.

[@AnneClay]

It's our pleasure Jan! I know - she's amazing!

[@karleenharrison2269]

well, you did it again, Ann! Karen did a very nice presentation of her home. I have lived with the same philosophy, with patience and never pay full price but just keep looking you will get what you want, mix and match, make it your home!! Thanks again for a terrific job. Look forward to more home tours,

[@AnneClay]

So true! Sometimes it's hard to have patience lol but it's worth it!

[@debbienewman7923]

Thank you for all the amazing advice on decorating. This home is so amazing and with all the changes it can be totally different month to month and year to year. What an amazing idea. i also like the reminder of getting things a little at a time. What a great idea, especially for us small budget Moms-like me. Thanks again for an amazing video and so glad you are sharing these beauties with us.

[@AnneClay]

So glad you enjoyed it Debbie!

[@maryjanejones6858]

Karen, amazing! I love everything!

[@AnneClay]

Me too!

[@doggiemama7192]

Really enjoyed this. She's very down to earth. Like her philosophy of moving things cause it's mine too lol. I can't sit down for 5 minutes without thinking of something I want to move. I know you've given us tours of your house and property but I'd like to see one in more depth like the latest videos you are doing of others. You also have a wealth of information! It would be interesting to hear about each of your special antiques and collections. Your house and decorating has changed much since I started watching your videos and you should be proud of what you've accomplished.

[@AnneClay]

Aw thank you so much! Yes my home has changed a lot! I just spent the night thinking of more changes that I can do. I will certainly keep your ideas in mind and show more in the New Year! Thank you! ❤️

[@nancydoocey5470]

I think the word Karen was looking for is “cobbler’s bench”. Growing up we had one my mother used as our coffee table. Thank you Karen for showing your lovely home. Again thanks Anne. 🎄🎄👏👏👏

[@AnneClay]

Oh cobblers bench

[@AH-em3zl]

Absolutely enjoyed this women and her scrumptious home tour!!

[@AnneClay]

So glad!

[@melindamoore9449]

Love it!! Thank God for you Anne! The Primitive World has needed you and your videos for a long time. Our history needs to be celebrated!

[@AnneClay]

Thank Melinda!! Doing my best...

[@snuggleb100]

I so loved this home and this sweet lady is so informative. However, I would have loved to see the actual house and her decor just a bit more. She had so many wonderful displays and it was hard to see them all just standing there. Her home is stunning and so primitively beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hugs

[@janbusby6562]

So many beautiful decorating ideas!!! Karen has the perfect touch !!

[@AnneClay]

Ooh she sure does!

[@dreamasue]

Love her home so much !! I could just go from room to room & take notes & pictures, so I could do my house that way too ! ❤️❤️

[@AnneClay]

I'm thinking in the New year I'm going to do a room in my house that way and take you all on the journey!

[@dorismatthews4416]

Thanks Anne and Karen! Lots of great advice and ideas! Keep on keepin' on!

[@melanienance4920]

This is a fascinating video! She gave such wonderful advice! You have done a fabulous job with your holiday videos! Thanks so much Anne!

[@missy8745]

This was so inspiring! My husband is working on our little tiny buttery right now so seeing hers, which is about the same size, helped us a great deal. Thank you Anne for the great video, and thank you Karen for taking the time to show us around your beautiful home. Merry Christmas to both of you sweet ladies!🎄☃️🎁❄️

[@AnneClay]

You got this! It's so much fun to make a buttery! I have a video on it from last year you may enjoy too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TShqxthKdnfZI

[@missy8745]

@@AnneClay I loved the way it turned out! You did an amazing job. Everything looks perfect! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dinahsoar6982]

This was great. I really loved seeing and hearing about all of the prim decor. So much good advice too, about buying faux greens that look real and not rushing, taking the time to find what you love and adding as you go. It removes all the stress. And I've really gotten into gingerbread decor this year..love how it's perfect for the holidays but can live on into winter and beyond. I'm a paper crafter and I recently found some youtube crafty ladies who also love gingers..seems like it's really taking off with a lot of people. I've begin collecting gingers too. Thank you for these great videos.

[@AnneClay]

You’re so welcome! So what nobody knows is that I love gingerbread people too and last weekend I went to her store when she had a sale and bought a slew of ginger people and fake greens. She inspired me greatly!

[@littleanniez874]

Anne you got me redecorating my house LOL! I love watching these videos-so inspiring

[@AnneClay]

Hehe - I SO want to redecorate my house too now!!

[@carmenmontmarquet2066]

You are very welcome Debbie!

[@lisasagardia191]

Love love this prim home❤️. Was wondering what is the buttery and how it was used? I wish everyone loved their home as much as Karen. Super sweet lady. Merry Christmas Anne🎄

[@AnneClay]

Hi Lisa! I have a video on the buttery and the history of one. Basically it was a place to store food but it started in the medieval times Where the monks would store food for the community. We could think of it as a pantry.

[@grambarker8981]

love this home❤️

[@nancycavins402]

Hi Anne. That was a wonderful 2 part series of gritty prim. I will b incorporating some of it into my home. Thanx so much for such interesting and informative videos. Urs r the BEST!

[@AnneClay]

Thanks so much Nancy - Love to hear that it was so helpful!!

Happy holidays!

[@laurievoelker9005]

Watched again 😊

[@hmc3142]

Anne, this was such a great video! I am going to try the brim wax on one of my hutches to make it look aged. Anne, I have a question. I just love all the greenery everyone is putting out for Christmas, does anyone ever leave some of the greenery out during the whole year? Do you think that it would look Christmassy to keep maybe a few bits and pieces of greenery out through the year? Thanks Anne❤

[@AnneClay]

You absolutely can. It really depends how you feel about it. Many people leave them through out the winter. I'm sure there are people that leave them year around too. The thing is that there are no rules for what you like in your home. Some people display their Santas all year. You do you!!!

[@laurievoelker9005]

Loved this. I too have a ton of Luminara candles, but have never seen any with a grunge finish. Did she do that herself and if so the method please ❤

[@tanniedh9832]

Love this sooooo much…..I feel s so much art home here. Do you have any suggestions on how to age and prim-up, my beach house?

[@cindyballard5218]

Can you explain the difference between early American,primitive and colonial

[@AnneClay]

They kind of all intertwine but usually when we talk about Primitive, it's more old fashioned - more handmade - more of a "make-do" kind of furniture - fashioned by poor farmers and repaired. It's usually darker, grittier, maybe a bit prairie like. It's usually old and warn, looking like it's pulled out of a barn or something. It falls under the category of Early American as does Colonial. To me colonial always looks a bit more refined and polished like perhaps the people had a bit more money. They can all mix in together. Many of us who decorate "Early American" mash it all up. Actually this would make a great future video topic because it's probably a bit more complicated and nuanced.

[@laurievoelker9005]

Is buttery another word for pantry ?
