I'm drawn to the primitive decor style of the 18th and 19th centuries,
but the rooms can become a bit drab, which I love but don't necessarily want to live in.
While the white vintage and primitive decor style many use to decorate with today is lovely,
I do love color.
To stay true to the furnishings I love,
I temper myself by keeping some things on the lighter side,
so the walls in the great room are painted a gray-white.
I love horses too.
And though we live on old farmland,
our neighbors have horses, goats, and chickens,
and my sister raises Friesians on her farm,
it's been a long time since I've owned a horse.
Well, that's changed!
I got myself another one and here he is...
Nope, I can't ride him, but that's okay.
As I rounded a corner at one of my favorite shops,
it was love at first sight!
Tarnished brass and worn leather...
Horse hair tail...
Primitive and well worn,
I think he's a beauty and goes well with the Equestrian style already in the great room.
Hope you are having a great week!

I love your new horse. Any time I see something equestrian themed in an antique store, I'm immediately attracted. He looks great on your cabinet.
ReplyDeleteSo handsome, great rescue! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing horses everywhere these days, but yours is my favorite! I love the cracks in the paint.

ReplyDeleteHey! (is for horses).
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect addition to the room. Whimsical, historical and the colors are just right.
He is a beauty Cindy!!
ReplyDeleteIf it could talk, sure it would have a tale to tell!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find and a real beauty....I used to collect folk art rocking horses, but I downsized my collection years ago....I now have seller's remorse...
