“Painted furniture is really big right now, and we help the do-it-yourselfers learn how to refurbish,” says Rella. Some of the more notable non-handcrafted products in stock are furniture paint and varnish – very convenient when customers ask how they can repaint their furniture to make it look similar to Rella and Brett’s eye-catching works.
We sell our dining tables the first day they come in, and people keep checking back and asking for more.”Īdds Patti, “Sometimes the pieces get sold online or on Facebook before we get them into the shop.” “We sell a lot of dining tables and a lot of hutches,” says Rella. The shop sells a variety of Christmas-themed signs to choose from. “We’ve had people come in and see a hutch and they want to buy it exactly how it’s displayed, with the signs and pillows still in the shelves,” says Brett. The results are a perfect combination of all family members’ artistic sensibilities. “We like to make everything, and then we just got so busy that we couldn’t keep up.” Additional products were added to the inventory that that fit the sensibilities of Prim Rose Primitives’ furnishings and crafts with a creative twist. “In order to keep the store full, we had to start the retail part of it,” says Rella. Two years later, they decided to make the leap to full-on retail store, opening their doors in October 2013. “We started out in crafts, and then we started doing the refurbishing of hutches,” says Brett.

When you make and sell your own stuff, it makes a difference. “Brett works with me every day, people know us. ”We like the family feel of it,” says Rella. Rella’s niece Daydree Fawley creates the decorative signs and assists Rella and Brett during the peak hours and seasons, including this year’s open house. Patti Crump, Rella’s mother, helps out with sewing and embroidery, with an entire section devoted to her crafted pillows. Rella’s husband Brett designs the tables, hutches, and other pieces of furniture, and Rella refinishes the furniture and creates many of the crafts and decorations on the shelves. When it comes to store operations and management, Prim Rose Primitives is a family affair. We are very happy with the turnout and a little nervous at the same time.” The response to the open house was so positive that a second one has been planned for December 2nd and 3rd.
“Our open house this weekend not only broke records in attendance, but we ended up selling nearly all our furniture and most of our retail inventory.
