One day these old barns, schoolhouses, and forgotten buildings around the Ouachita Mountains will be gone…
fallen in, rotted away, or bulldozed over.
And honestly, that’s kinda sad.
I guess that’s part of why I love reclaiming old wood so much. It feels like saving little pieces of history before they disappear forever. 🤎

My work area is always a disaster 😁
Messy hair, beat-up hands, and bare feet most of the time… that’s pretty much me 😂🤎
Somehow, all the chaos still turned into something beautiful today ☺️🤎

I’ve had such a busy weekend with lots of orders! I just had to shot a quick video because these picks are too pretty not to share. The colors all go together so perfectly, and everything has that cozy “prim” vibe 😊 Everything is now mailed and off to its new home!

I need your feedback! 😊
What do y’all think about adding some primitive-style game boards to the shop? I could make them individually or as matching sets! Any color combos/suggestions?
I was just messing around the other day while it was raining (and way too wet to sand cutting boards 😅) and ended up making these! They make such unique décor pieces, and they’re so much fun to create.
Apparently, I get easily sidetracked… LOL 🤎

I think I may be getting better at this. 😊🤎
I love making pieces look heirloom- like Grandma passes it down… like they’ve already lived a long life in an old farmhouse kitchen. No two ever turn out the same, and honestly, that’s my favorite part. It keeps me from getting too board… 😂😆 LOL- "too board" 😆 OK. I think I've had enough sun this week!! Lol
A few of these are still available in my Etsy shop if you’d like to take a closer look 😊 https://primitivelivingark.etsy.com/listing/4491885012

I'm kinda proud of how these turned out and wanted to share ’em with y’all. 🤎
Ive been out workin’ on a few EXTRA LARGE primitive-style charcuterie boards this week-
and these big ol’ boards are around 2 foot tall and would look mighty nice a-sittin’ on a counter, table, or hung up on the wall in a farmhouse kitchen... And yes, I said "mighty nice a-sittin'" lol 😆
Only 6 available!! All different shapes... go check em out!!
