Primitive, Country, and Americana Home Decor is one of the most popular styles of home decorating across the mid-west and in the north east. Living just 45 minutes from Lancaster Amish Country, we see a lot of it! It’s been popular for several decades and continues to be strong.

My one friend Renee decorates her entire home in it! I’m talking about every room, from top to bottom! She has handcrafted and store bought pieces. It’s easy to mix-n-match the items throughout your home if you stick within the main color scheme of barn red, Americana blue, mustard yellow, black, hunter green, and beige.
Let’s take a look at the 4 pieces I purchased for her last month while out bargain shopping. The 4 items were purchased at 2 different retail stores and from different manufacturers. As you can tell, they coordinate well together thanks to the color scheme.
This decorating style doesn’t cost a fortune! All 4 of these items were purchased on clearance and at a bargain basement price! The Faith and Family with Sheep wood wall plaque was marked down to $3.00. The Live Simply with the red house was marked down to $3.00. The little red wood heart that says Friends was marked down to $2.50 and the Faith with a rusty metal star was marked down to $3.00. Total for all 4 pieces was less than $12.00. These are not miniature pieces!
You can shop flea markets, yard sales, Etsy, Ebay, retail stores, country boutiques, etc. and find a lot to choose from. When giving this type of decor as a gift (like I did), you want to stick within the main color scheme. Look for accent pieces, not a big focal point. Don’t be afraid to buy second hand (if it’s in great shape). If you’re looking for unique, then look for hand-crafted items.

These are great finds to buy, especially if you want a more primitive or americana decor. I have a mixture of items in my home.
I like what you purchased and find that items like these can really add to one’s decor. I tend to have a traditional taste in furnishings, and these are the kind of items that fit well.
