Coffee Bar Decor

Image
 I've had my eye on this mug rack for several years and I finally purchased it from Magnolia Market earlier this summer.  I knew I wanted to incorporate this into the barn somewhere.  Initially I wanted it next to my stove, but after looking at it there I decided I wanted it stand alone and it would be perfect for my coffee bar.  I currently hang my glass mugs and coffee mugs on it, but have some black and white mugs on order.  We are still a work in progress so the mugs we drink out of will eventually go on shelving above the counters.  I'm so ready to have all of this put together, but we are making progress.  I purchased this truck back in the fall and it came from Kirklands with a fall arrangement in it that was lit with battery operated lights.  I LOVE this truck.  It is the perfect size and since the arrangement was just in foam I was able to remove it easily.  I already have my eye on some buffalo check eggs at Hobby Lobby...

The Barn Bathroom - It's coming together!

Image
Our bathroom in The Barn was one of the first things finished when we were still living in the camper.  That was a glorious day to finally be able to take a shower in normal size shower with room to move my arms above my head, raise my legs above knee bent position to shave and not be able to touch all of the shower walls from one location in the shower!  It's funny the things that are so trivial become so important when you don't have them.  Well that was the bathroom for me.  I think as long as I lived in the camper I just kept taking it one day at a time and one more day making it through I was one more day closer to moving into The Barn.  It's definitely been a learning experience for all of us.  I'm so very thankful to be to the decorating stage of the game even though we still have other finishes to go! So for starters in the bathroom, I purchased this metal shelf from a local decor shop in Carthage, IL.  My mom actually sp...

Bringing a Vision to Life

Image
It took months to bring our vision to life and the process was oh so long, but definitely worth it.  We decided that we wanted a living space in our barn, but figuring out the details takes time and a lot of imagination and inspiration. We have a 39 foot fifth wheel camper with three slides. We needed enough space to extend the sides and allow for room to store tubs, tools, etc.   We changed things up to the day we poured the foundation and even after that we tweaked the layout inside some.  We finally came up with this floor plan and exterior elevations. The downstairs is very open from the kitchen through the living room. There will be 16’ to 20’ ceilings in the living room. It’s going to look so cool with the stair railing that we are hoping will be black metal with horizontal rails.  The kitchen doesn’t have a ton of cabinets so our pantry is huge!  So below is the plan that we eventually decided on and we ended up changing it after we walked through the u...
