This is a gorgeous primitive store in Kirklin, IN, filled with beautiful primitives. If you're unfamiliar with primitive decor, it has all the charm of farmhouse style but focused on things that are, or appear to be vintage, antique, or handmade. The colors are darker, richer colors than the neutrals of the farmhouse style. For example, primitive style will feature early colors that are dark, muted, warm, and earthy colors that highlight familiarity and weathered beauty. Popular shades on the primitive spectrum are: black, barn red, navy blue, cream, putty, tan, umber, walnut, mustard, sage, and burgundy. Colors are easy to use in a home that loves antiques, Americana, distressed woods, providing a calming, cohesive environment. My dear friend has a primitive home that is stunning and so warm and comforting that it defines primitive.
Fireside Primitives isn't a huge shop but has so many of the basic accent pieces and accents to help you either add greenery, candles, candle boxes, lights, bowls and table runners to name just a few of the many items they offer. I fell in love with the covered bridge with lights inside and trimmed out along the edges of the bridge. I'm still trying to find a place for this adorable piece.
The two ladies running the shop were super friendly, proud of their shop, and the appreciation I personally had for their decor. The shop reflected all the primitive colors, and you have to stand back when you walk into the shop to take in all the colors, textures, and design.
When you're in Kirklin, be sure to stop in Fireside Primitives to see the colors, textures, and lighting that fill this gorgeous space. read more
