Antique ironing board takes on a new life

A door takes on a new life

Take an old door thrown in a barn, and well, turn it into a barn door!

Magazines make the perfect wall covering

I wanted to keep the cost of decorating my weekened cabin at a minimal. I decided to cover the walls with Kentucky Explorer magazine pages. The pages are historical stories about Kentucky, they have a lot of old pictures that just added to the charm. The stain glass window above the bed was picked up at a local flea market for the low price of 15.00!

What do you do with rusty barb wire, sea grass baling twine, washers and horse shoes? Make a western wreath of course!

Inside my outhouse

The brackets in the corners are from the porch posts at my house when I remodeled. The metal bracket holding the shelf(old shutter) is a tin ridge cap from the roof of my house before renovation. I metal water cooler belonged to my grandfather.

Riding

Today I couldn't resist the urge to go riding. This winter has been a very long one!
After wading through about 3 inches of mud, brushing my horse for an hour and finally loading up I was exhausted.
My husband , who does not ride thinks I am crazy! Why, he ask would someone find joy in doing this?

It is the sense of adventure, the wind in my hair, the calming sounds of the babbling brook, the squeal of the hawk over head. The soft nuzzle of a horses nose against my face, the musty smell of my horse, the power of knowing that I am in control of a 1,000 pound animal. These are the reason I ride, the reason I wade in mud.
