Posted - May 22 2011 : 4:25:15 PM This was just on my google home page - "You might be a redneck if you watch Little House on the Prairie for decorating tips." My first thought was "what's wrong with that?" ![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif)

Posted - Jun 01 2011 : 07:34:59 AM I love this thread. I've been revisiting just to see what others answer. You all are so cute. There was definitely a special charm to the closeness of the rooms, and activities, and the big table, where family came together, for everything, right in the middle of the main room. Love it!
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

Posted - May 23 2011 : 8:25:50 PM There's worse things than being called a redneck.
One of my favorite things about how the house was set up was the table being the center of the household where eating and projects were done. There weren't separate rooms for every activity: office, playroom, computer room, etc.
Tammy-what a great outlook. You may have inspired me to make a quilt, lord help me! lol

Posted - May 23 2011 : 12:24:16 PM There is nothing wrong with little house on the prairie and decorating. I have two dolls on a shelf in my house that my DD cannot touch!
It is a great resource for 'simple living.' If you want to know how to make a smoke house out of an old hollow tree, read little house in the big woods, do you want to effectively build your own home, read LHOTP. We put quilts on the beds every summer, but my DH is not out shooting for our food. I love reading the books to my DD, and she loves her nightly little house on the prairie reading. Hard to explain to the four year old about how they ate the bear meat....

Posted - May 22 2011 : 5:15:03 PM I know... my decor may not be truly "Laura" but I got my love of crafting, knitting, crocheting, sewing, etc from those books. Also my desire to live a simpler life, even though I don't think we succeed too well there! I just love quilts and learned to sew my own because I can't afford to buy them. The Laura books were such a huge part of my life, and I still re-read them. I have even been working on getting the whole series in hardcover...strange in this age of Nook, but I love books.
