Shabby Chic Horse Barn? Why yes, I think it's lovely!

We used to have horse. Four horses to be exact. My husband built the barn himself. It didn't look like this barn. And now, seeing this, I told him I miss our horses. He eyed me suspiciously. "We haven't had horses in 10 years. What's up with that?" I showed him this picture. He rolled his eyes. "We have a dog. Buy her a doghouse and decorate it." He just doesn't get it.

Knock off from the Lettered Cottage


The Lettered Cottage is my all time favorite blog. Layla and Kevin are the most talented couple I know. I love what they do with salvaged wood. So...I tried my hand at making the planked American flags I saw in her post on mantels displays. Here's how mine turned out. I should have displayed them pretty. I haven't decided what to do with them! Maybe sell them on Etsy?

Camp House Re-do

Many months ago I did a staging and decorating job for some clients who wanted to rent out the little apartment above their horse stables as a vacation get-a-way. The cabin is on their property which backs up to the lake and renter's would have full use of the stables and riding trails around the house for an equestrian vacation. The stables/camp house is also located in a huge college football town so we wanted to target that group of would be lodgers as well. The kitchen was painted a blue color that wasn't unattractive in itself but was dirty and badly in need of a paint job. We had no idea what color was used originally, so decided to paint the entire kitchen white. We were working with a very limited budget, so the owner got a lot of the decorations from thrift stores and I brought in many as well. I'm posting the before and after photos for you to see.



Next post we'll look at the living room and bedrooms!
