I think most of us Pr...You are not alone Michelle. I think most of us Prim Gals feel we are living in the wrong era, that is why we try to preserve the past. <br /><br />I was always Victorian Country gal until we restored our Colorado Cabin in 2001. Since then I have felt connected to the past in ways far beyond comprehension. Our cabin is at 9000 feet and totally off the grid. <br /><br />I see you are a follower, thank you. Check out the Cabin Page and my posts dealing with the cabin. I personally love to dress the part when I am at the cabin. Like I state, these old walls whisper to me, the aurora of the ghost towns people wisp in the wind and I am always ready to invite them in.<br /><br />I love "Little House On The Prairie". Since we live in southern Missouri I have had the opportunity to tour Laura's last home in Mansfield, Mo. Attend Laura Ingalls Day and even made outfits for my 2 grand daughters which they wore to the festival. If I can find a pic I will post it. You need to watch the "Love Comes Softly" series that Hallmark runs from time to time. You can also purchase the DVD's on Ebay. The cabin shots are so unique and primitive and historically correct. I watch them over and over just to view the background. <br /><br />Prim Blessings, Love your Blog. I have blogs that I follow and blogs that I watch. I will now follow....<br />ConnieCabin Fever Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659564718735936806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-48321409998982171982011-01-20T14:00:27.732-05:002011-01-20T14:00:27.732-05:00We have 2 fireplaces but don't use them.

But we had a free standing wood burning stove in our old house and it warmed the house so well and we had a big house. So hopefully we can get ours going in our current house when the boys are older.Kindra-At Home With Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735775024588186684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-83225828435923157502011-01-20T10:03:19.013-05:002011-01-20T10:03:19.013-05:00Kim, I tell ya, never thought Little House would m...Kim, I tell ya, never thought Little House would make me cry but it does!

We do not have access to wood and even if we did I doubt we would cut it. lol. Right now we are overwhelmed at the cost ($1000+ plus installation and the cost of whatever we decide to burn). I think it's a necessity though since we are spending a lot on oil and electricity (the master bedroom is an addition onto the living room addition and has an electric wall heater that I run too much because I'm a freeze baby. :) )Michelle~Sugar House Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08023791700344516965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-32499444310274989982011-01-20T08:19:59.549-05:002011-01-20T08:19:59.549-05:00OMG I am laughing about Little House on the Prairi...OMG I am laughing about Little House on the Prairie. My grandmother banned it from being watched at her house because we always cried at some point in the show. She thought crying over TV was ridiculous when there was lots of real life stuff to cry about! Still makes me giggle to think about it.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738934059756079283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-48067570848353106182011-01-19T16:15:41.025-05:002011-01-19T16:15:41.025-05:00First the wood stove, we have had a wood stove in ...First the wood stove, we have had a wood stove in all three houses that we have owned. The one we have now is big and ugly but it is in the unfinished part of the basement no one sees it. On the good side it gives off a great amount of heat and with the price of oil it is a great saver. You will never feel warmer than with a wood stove. now the down side,it is messy and a lot of work and if you can't cut your own wood you have to buy wood and if you don't want to cut and split it it is more expensive. We lose power off and on and the wood stove is a life saver. I wonder if a pellet stove would be more to your taste? My daughter and her husband have one and they really like it and no mess. and about 1/4th the work. I think I have always loved country I thought I could do victorian at one time but got sick of it.and all this white that is going on now I like a bit of it but I love the deep rich colors of country. I have uncluttered it a bit over the years but I guess I have always been country<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-44083729189104915532011-01-19T15:42:27.211-05:002011-01-19T15:42:27.211-05:00Enjoyed reading your post-I was trying to work out...Enjoyed reading your post-I was trying to work out when my country/prim style emerged. I was never a mod girl with decorating and from I started stitching it was the plaids/checks, muted colours got me, so my decorating followed to match. Like yourself, I love wool applique......and yes, love Little House in the Prairie only I like to stitch as a hobby, not because I HAVE to-such hard work they must have had.<br /><br />Not sure how to help re woodburner-we have a free standing stove-provides great heat for living room and heats water. Lovely feature too:)<br /><br />Hope you get it all sorted,<br />Shazy xCountry Primshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652587140396327740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967056280290533082.post-46946512807524447892011-01-19T15:27:19.456-05:002011-01-19T15:27:19.456-05:00Hi, Michelle
