Thursday's Treasure Hunt... Antlers

Whether you're a huntsmen or not, you must admit, antlers are a pretty cool thing. They each have their own unique branching design making for awesome pieces of wall art, accents on shelves and tabletops, and even the make-up of some great mirrors and chandeliers!

Be on the look out for that spot in your house in need of a set of antlers!

Gone Country -- on Country Music's Biggest Night!

That's right ladies and gentleman, tonight is Country Music's biggest night - the CMA Awards! 

Being the country music lover FANATIC I am, I look forward to this awards show every year! So many of my favorites are nominated and the show's performances are always fabulous. Oh, what I would give to be in Nashville tonight schmoozing with the country music's biggest stars

(with two of my best friends, who just happen to conveniently be Nashville residents, in tow too, of course!)

So, in an effort to go "back to our roots" and as an ode to Country Music's biggest night, I share with you this fabulous "barn" right outside of Nashville, TN, of one of country music's own, Ronnie Dunn!

The house was first featured in Garden and Gun's Best of Southern Style in 2010 and is the work of always talented designer, Rachel Halvorson -- whose blog, Nestegg is fabulous in case you don't already follow it.

This barn leaves me swooning with thoughts of cowboy boots, cowboy hats, country music, and a barn like this for those times you just need a little "country living" (the shabby-chic way)!

It's Friday, I'm In Love {with a little farmhouse inspired bliss!}

I love country music - LOVE IT - and I had a ball spending Wednesday evening Dancehall Dreamin' with Pat Green! 

And, while I'm a beach girl through and through (in case you haven't already picked up on that), I will gladly admit that I enjoy the charm of the country and "rural living" from time to time.  

A bit of time spent in the country can be such a breath of fresh air - literally - which is why I think I am drawn to some of these rooms that evoke the "new farmhouse style." The natural materials and hues are so warm leaving me with that same feeling of a day in the country.

Hope this weekend brings you whatever breath of fresh air you may be in need of!
