If My Blog Was A Room – Next Up – Primitive and Proper

January 25, 2012 by Amber Filed Under: blog room series Leave a Comment

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I’m sure most of you already know this next amazing blogger! Today, I am super excited to have Cassie here, from her design blog Primitive and Proper. Cassie’s blog showcases her creativity and DIY projects on a budget. She loves to mix modern with vintage- which, in my opinion, is a wonderful combination! Let’s see what she came up with!

Hi!  I am Cassie from Primitive and Proper, and I am so excited to be here on Amber’s fabulous blog today!  I just love Amber’s style, and was so happy when she asked me to be a part of this series as I have been admiring the other bloggers and their posts!
As you can see from my header, gray and aqua are kind of my go-to colors… I love the soothing combination!
Primitive & Proper
In my own home (we just moved into it in October!) I have used this combination in my living room and dining room, and will most likely use that combo in my kitchen and master bedroom when those rooms are redone.  Here is a little glimpse of the combo in my dining room…

If my own blog were a room it would certainly have those colors in it, but on my blog, I love whimsy, and I love bright pops of color!  I love to redo furniture pieces in almost every color under the sun!  I also like to bring in a modern edge often, and gravitate towards the mix of rustic with a touch of modern.

So while the palette might be soothing, it would have some zing.  The room would invite you in with its cozy, hand crafted, “someone really lives here” kind of feel, but it would give you something bright and fun to look at, too…  These rooms all give me that kind of feeling- I want to sit there, and relax, but there is something bright and happy for my eyes to view, and they have that little bit of modern edginess to them….

These rooms are all pretty, have my favorite colors, host a mix of vintage and modern styles, and have pops of fun color as well!  They also feel very inviting, lived in, cozy and open!  When you come to my blog, I want you to feel like you are visiting an old friend. 🙂


If my blog were a child’s room though, it would look like this… I love everything about this room!  So so fun!

My blog gets a little crafty now and again, too, so its craft nook might look like this…

Thank you so much, Amber, for allowing me to share with your readers a little more about me and my blog!  I hope you will come on over- be prepared to stay, relax, have a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine!) with me and chat like we’ve known each other for ever.

Thanks so much for being here, Cassie! I really do feel like I’m chatting with a great friend when I stop by your blog!
I love that Cassie showed spaces that are beautiful, but also warm and inviting. I love that! Definitely stop by Cassie’s blog and say hello!

I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades, no matter which way you walk into the room. The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom
Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
