Primitive Equestrian

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!
