we love horses...and decorating...


(a few years back...but still one of our favorites of our pony Lady and my oldest daughter)
(after a communion celebration - on top of Jordan, our Percheron white horse,...side saddle)

my oldest daughter, 11, and her younger sister, 6, share a bedroom...
if you remember, it looked like this just one year ago today...


well, all this shopping and sewing with plaids, and horse inspiration from my novel

 has led my oldest daughter to want a "horse theme bedroom"

but not with the 'barn bed' and stuff like that.....

she saw this with me while looking up inspiration for her room.......and loved it!


i think it's a fantastic picture to go from.....
there will be no wall paper - but it's the misc. textures and horse/library feel that we will try to achieve

we're picking things up along our way shopping, while finding treasures for Bridgette's home...

Jenny Doh, featured my barn sale on her home page!  Isn't she the best!?!!  If you haven't read the inspiration Jenny has there on Crescendoh...I highly recommend doing so!

hope you all had a great weekend!

  4. Hey girl! I did not know you were in Belle Inspiration as well - yeah! This is going to be one popular barn sale with all of the press you've gotten on it...I might have to camp out the night before to be sure and be first in line :))) So hoping you make it this weekend with us! Can't wait to see what you do with your daughter's room!

  6. What a beautiful picture of your daughter in her communion dress, all white atop your beautiful all white horse... so sweet, Anne Marie! The inspirational photo she chose for her room looks so beautiful. I look forward to seeing how you take from the inspiration and make it your own (well, your daughter's own :)).
    Have a wonderful week!

  10. You and your family would have loved our fair at the Duncan Exhibition here in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island! Beautiful horses, miniatures, goats, rare chickens, rabbits or so much lovely farm life and rides for kids. Pay a visit to my blog wading in the Sea...you'll love it!
