Next time you're visiting your mom, take a quick survey of her curtains. It's easy to forget about the need to update our windows. A fresh look can be so much fun.

Several years ago when our parents were away on a trip, my sisters and I surprised them with a little bathroom redo.

Fresh paint, a new shower curtain, better cabinet knobs and different curtains completely transformed the room. That was a fun reveal! We couldn't wait for them to arrive home.

Rugs

Rugs are another great way to incorporate primitive country style into your home design. 

  • Braided Jute Rugs: Made from eco-friendly jute fibers; these rugs provide excellent durability without sacrificing style or comfort.
