You are mistaken. There's a style of furniture called French Provincial, but the definition of provincial has nothing specifically to do with France.

Merriam-Webster

The Free Dictionary


Yet, here it is....the definition i was looking for:

http://www.answers.com/topic/provincial

adj.

1. Of or relating to a province.
2. Of or characteristic of people from the provinces; not fashionable or sophisticated: "Well-educated professional women ... made me feel uncomfortably provincial" (J.R. Salamanca).
3. Limited in perspective; narrow and self-centered.

n.

1. A native or inhabitant of the provinces.
2. A person who has provincial ideas or habits. Particularly number 3.

I applied the word to a context that, it seems, only exists in my own history. No matter, what i meant is still covered under the definition of that word.

"Countrified, narrow, limited in perspective, not sophisticated".
