Pink is for Barns too

Can you belive it is less than a week for the Barn Chick Blog Block Party? I cannot wait to see everyone's posts! Put on your boots and please come to the party! There will be pretty lights, lots of refreshments and gorgeous barny images.

No chicks were harmed or dyed for this photo (google). That is actually a rare but real type of chicken called a Silkieweb.

See you on August 6th!

my son's room

Here is my son's room, all grown up, graduated from college

and home~ a wonderful son. Yes, we are Celtics fans.

You never know where you are going to find barn doors

as I just had these made for his closet doors.

I designed these months ago and they were recently installed.

New wood~old hinges.

Guess I have had barns on my mind for a while!

please enjoy- love you Doyle.

The palest of blush pink walls create a feel of a summer retreat . Sisal carpet underfoot provokes images of a sandy beach while white trim work and a large pale coffee table balance the chocolate brown accents, so sweet. enjoy...

Federal Style

My home

The Brayton Homestead

is dressed for Independence day in

the Federal period Style (circa 1796)

The Homestead's grounds actually saw battle

along the Taunton River here in Massachusetts, New England.

In the truest spirit of Red White and Blue, I wish you the happiest of holiday weekends.

Happy Fourth Of July!
