Rug Beaters - Not Just for Beating Rugs!
Filed under: Primitive Decorating News, Primitive Decorating Tips
Hey folks! We've added a new category to our Primitive Home Decorations website and wanted to share the news with you.
Many of us aren't old enough to remember the days of hanging the rugs out, then beating the fool out of them to get out the dust and dirt! But who knows, some of us may still use them? If you still use a Rug Beater to beat rugs, then we would love to hear about it!
In today's times though, Antique Primitive Rug Beaters are used more for decoration. And, they make a great decorative piece to add to your Primitive collection. Usually made of wire, these wonderful pieces can be hung on a wall, or placed by a Primitive setting. As always, the possibilities are endless!
Feel free to share your thoughts! Do you display a Antique Primitive Rug Beater in your home?
Allow Me To Brag a Moment!
I realize this blog is about Primitive Home Decorations, but I have some very exciting news! I have just become a GRANDPA for the first time!
Monday the 18th, little Kyle came into our world and I could not be more excited! Everything went great and mom and baby are doing wonderful. I am so very proud and I have been looking forward to being a "Papa" since I found out my only daughter was pregnant. I know we have many wonderful times ahead of us!
How many of our blog readers out there are grandparents? Feel free to share your stories!

In our last post, Newly Remodeled Bathroom with Primitive Decorations, I spoke about our trip to Floyd, VA where we stayed at the Cottage On Main during a weekend getaway to a wine festival. The owner of the cottage is an artist and they have some beautiful paintings and many other unique pieces throughout the cottage and property.
Even though the cottage wasn't decorated with Primitives per say, there were some very interesting pieces that caught my eye, one being an antique sewing machine table that was turned into a vanity. In another post on our blog back in May, You Don't Have To Live In a Cabin To Decorate With Primitives, we talked about how Primitive Decorations can be used in any type home and in any type setting. Whether you use one or two pieces, or if you decorate your entire home with Primitives, the choices are always endless. That's what makes Primitive Decorations so popular and exciting!
Have you turned antique furniture pieces into Primitive Decorations? We would love to hear about it and see some pictures. Feel free to comment and remember you can upload YOUR pictures at the Pictures of Primitive Home Decorations section of our Primitive Home Decorations website.
