Saving of the Family Dairy Barn

the haymow door is and yes that had to be saved too..it will never fit back out of the barn unless taken apart so it is here to stay.. another obstacle for our contractor but he did it..

the saving of the family dairy barn

 

time to fill the gutters to have a nice level floor...

 the whole stone wall was crumbling so these handy fellows worked in the 95 degree heat rebuilding it.

the new wall....

the originl staircase if you can call  it that. very very steep.. all the wood floor had been ripped up because of water damage. mother and i tried and tried to talk to the contractor about an open staircase...he was very adamant that it could be done... i call him the magic man... his favorite line was it's just a barn...he eventually saw our vision.

 the new staircase... we loved the way they turned out.. my pretty girl who faithfully helped clean out the barn and paint every day so it would be ready for the family gathering on thanksgiving.

doors are off. 

new windows and doors. the old doors became dining tables.

Beautiful Rocker with Miss Mustard Seed Wash

  Here she is awaiting transformation.  I knew she had a stunning beauty in her.  I knew just what I wanted to do to bring it out..a bold color and a Miss Mustard Seed Wash!

she was a bit beaten up and discovered her on her way to the dump. i just couldn't bear that so we set out to save her. she had to have her rocker repaired and needed new fabric. she is onto her second life...

I linked up with Elizabeth & Co.  She has beautiful finds this week. Check her out!
