Dreaming of a barn cottagere-do
The scary before….
warning….worse than the pantry. Shield your eyes.
Maybe….With the help of a cottage goddess….
It could be a Cinderella story
maybe. kinda. sorta.
Thoughts??

linda, i can see there is some work to be done, but those first few photos: OMG. it would be my dream to spend time in that space, to write and cook little meals and cozy into that room and couch.
i can't wait to see what you do. you should be on hgtv, linda. you know that, right?
is this place yours? OMG!

I have complete confidence in you. You and the Big Black Dog. **kisskiss** Deb
WHAT?? You have a barn. I couldn't be more jealous. What an amazing space. Looks like that designer will have more than enough ideas to transform that space. Can't wait to see the afters!
Wow, love the clean lines and fresh open space, but yet the pictures are so warm and inviting. Go for it! If it would turn out like the work you've done elsewhere in your home, you have nothing to lose...
Espléndido!!

This is my favorite kind of project. I wish I had a project & a space like yours.
What potential and you do such great transformations!

How great that your handsome boy is tall enough to look through the Dutch door! I think it's an omen to get your gloves on!

Are you kidding me!! You are sooo lucky!!! I can't even wait to see what you do with that barn!! It's going to be amazing:)
You go girl.......looks like a few gallons of creamy white paint would be a start.

I am going to be looking forward to that transformation.....cuz I think more than a few people have double dogged you.....and I don't think you are the type of gal to be go back on a dare....right? :) Fantastic! I have saved every picture here for my cousin's beach house.
Gorgeousness ... I love the subtile moroccan accents ... the lanterns and nets. So peaceful and fresh!
Ya, go for it! I wanna watch! ;)
You know you love a challenge, no matter how big or small.
And you know everybody else loves that you love a challenge, be it big or small, because the results are always unbelievable.
[Big Butt Chair, anyone?]
But you'd better share the in-process shots to remind us you don't just winkle your nose and end up with something fantastic. Takes my envy down a little that way, too.
Hope you dive right in while I sit here waiting for updates....
I am thinking you are out there right now as I post this...cleaning and prepping! Can't wait for the final reveal! It's gonna be stellar!!!!
totally dare you!
and yes, the dutch door! Just with that and the plank walls you're more than halfway there.
Oh yes,,,Believe and it will happen!!!
The place is adorable it reminds me of my trip in West Indies, I love colonial styles, it's like the time stopped 100 years ago when UK was a colonial state
