I also have an eclectic mix in my house. The most primitive looking pieces all came from trash picking, believe it or not. For example, I found the 6-pane window of an old house, all worn and weathered. I didn't paint it, only sealed it, and it now hangs on the wall as a frame for some old black and white family photos. To display my quilts, I have two old wooden ladders faded and worn, with some of the original white paint showing. Each has 6 rungs, and I have the quilts folded and draped over them. It works for display and storage. I also have an old iron headboard that I use in the garden as a trellis for a clematis. Buying primitives can be very expensive. But I think its more fun to see what you can find around you then find a new way to use it.
