Equestrian Inspired Design

This past weekend I went to my first equestrian competition and I LOVED it!  My "niece" (my friend's daughter) was in her first show, and won first place!  Is she cute or what?

While I was driving home, I was day dreaming (and got lost).  Anyway,  indulge me a bit, okay?  Let me show you some glimpses of the English Country, equestrian-inspired dream home that lives in my head, ready for me to move in. 

First, of course, this is what I look like coming back in from a ride...

 This is the view in front of me...

Traditional Home

This could be the living room.  Love the stone walls...

Canadian House and Home

 This is the chair where I take off my boots (and never put them on that gorgeous chair, lol).  It has its own cozy nook...

Canadian house and Home

Because my dream house has lots of spaces to decorate, this one would be my office and sitting area, dark and inviting...

Country Living

I imagine this sofa in the library, where huge windows show the view of the rolling lawn and fences, and tall bookshelves line the opposite wall.  You know the kind, with the tall sliding ladder?

Ralph Lauren

The back entry off the kitchen looks like this...

I find that while trends come and go, colors change and styles revolve,  equestrian looks remain timeless.  What do you think?

Talk to you soon,
