Salt and pepper.
It’s both impressive-looking and super-functional and of course, it was pretty easy to pull together since we have an almost unlimited supply of barn wood out back!Here’s how we did it!.
We started out with a barn..I need to let you know right now, that we don’t actually own this barn.It’s behind our house, but all the land on the other side of the creek is owned by a big German company who leases it out to local farmers.
No one uses this barn anymore and because of that, it’s fallen into a little bit of disrepair in the last few years.Word on the street is that this barn is probably actually about 100 years old, and was built by ship-builders, so it has a lot of really interesting and pretty construction inside.. We used a few different components of the barn in our beverage center, as well as some new pine boards from The Home Depot.
The big chunky legs are just pieces of roof support that had blown off with a big section of the roof last year..
The counter top for the beverage center as well as the skirting around the top came from some of the siding that has been blown off.I’ve also been a little concerned that it was going to look too new in here and not “farmhousy” enough with all of the new stuff I’ve been buying and planning to buy.. Of course… of COURSE, the solution was right under my nose, using things I already had on hand, and completely free!
Isn’t that always the way?.I gathered a bunch of stars from around the house that I had, but wasn’t too excited about any more.
Kennedy’s joke is always that if something is a dark color, I will always paint it white and stick it on the wall.If it’s a light color, I will always paint it black…..and stick it on the wall.
