Living right outside of Toronto Canada, Lisa, also known as Willow Tree Primitives enjoys the rustic country style of decorating.
Photo above right: Lisa brings a rustic, yet cozy feel to her porch by accessorizing with natural elements and adding decorative accessories such as soft cushions and throw pillows.
A twig wreath and grapevine help add to the natural and cozy charm. Using natural elements and some imperfection, tend to create a relaxing feel.
A vintage window pane hung in the porch opening gives much needed privacy.

My name is Lisa Cini. I was born and raised in the United States a "Army Brat". I married a Canadian and now reside in a beautiful small town in Ontario.
We have 3 wonderful children, 2 cats and a dog.
Growing up, the women in my family were very creative and crafty.
I can still remember my grandmother in her 70's on a ladder recaulking her windows!
I think that is part of my "do it yourself" motto.
I have made my faux mantle, my arbour and my potting shed.
I am a self confessed Dumpster Diver. I love to make over thrown away items and find new use for them. I enjoy painting folk art, building and being in my garden.
Thank You for taking the time to look at my home and garden.

Photo above: Lisa made the arbour above from 2 doors that she found on the side of the road. The entire project cost her $ 35.00.
Photo top right: Lisa always wanted a fireplace in her front room, but didnt want to spend the money, so instead, she made a faux fireplace. She painted it green, used cracking medium, then painted it buttermilk cream. To give it that final touch, she sanded the edges, to give it a "worn look".
Photo above: A vintage tricycle adorned with grapevine, a basket with vintage watering can and an old looking sign, add more rustic flare and welcomes guests into her home.
Photo above: Lisa's rustic, country, prim way of displaying can be seen around every nook and corner. Her creative way of displaying potted flowers and birdhouses on an old ladder add a spark of color to an otherwise dark corner.
