My friend, Lori, is very much the horse-lover....how can you tell? Just take a look around her house. In the above photo we have a carved bust of a horse behind the couch....
The antique bicycle horse...and practically all of those framed photos on the cabinet (and every other place around the house) have horses in them, too...
And in the entry we have a painting of horses in the pasture in front of her house...which, by the way, coincides with the Babycakes that's out there now....
Hi Baby!
Upstairs we have more horses in the fox-hunter wallpaper border in her daughter's previous bedroom (now a guest room)...which happens to coordinate with these cheerful broad stripes in the upstairs bathroom....
There's another antique rocking horse next to her desk, and a huge horse painting in the living room. Anyway, I think you get the general idea. So while we're at it, I'll continue to show you more of this lovely horse-lover home....
We're still upstairs and this is the room I enjoyed during our stay. I helped her hang the taupe curtains...that was my idea....softens that window a bit and looks great with that lampshade. We decided that her son wouldn't mind too much....since he's off to college anyway. Do guys even notice that kinda thing? Maybe he'll notice how great they look with that lampshade! : D
Back downstairs I'll show off her new granite counter tops that were installed while I was there....all in less than 24 hours, I might add! A friend of Lori's turned her onto this company that deals in granite remnants and over-stocks. They came in on one day to measure the whole kitchen, then on the scheduled day, they replaced the whole deal and included the under-counter sink. All in one day! And for a fantastic price to boot! Don't they look great!
And the new sink and faucet....I love all those graceful curves!
Now, down the stairs to the basement....
This is the very nicely appointed workout room that I actually put to use while I was there....and, yes, all those unused muscles did rebel....and this is why she stays in such beautiful shape. Now let's head outside....
She's accomplished some pretty landscaping around the house....with spilling-over window boxes and containers on the outdoor deck and pool area....
Asheley lost one of her first front teeth...you can see the gap from here!
Once it finally decided to stop raining and give us some gorgeous weather, this was the kiddos' favorite place to hang out....and mine too! : D
