Continuation of the Barn facelift.

So as the week has progressed I have made some I think incredible changes to the barn. As I have started with the ceiling of the barn (previous post) and worked down the walls I thought why not go the whole distance and cover the floor as well.

Several years back I co-owned a restaurant in Newberg, Oregon that needed and overhaul done on it as well. At that time I started with ripping out the carpet that was very timeworn and stained. We had talked about putting hardwood flooring in but it was rather costly and not that durable for restaurant wear and tear. So I looked into other options for floor covering. What I came up with was to stain the concrete that was under the existing carpet. Let me tell you once again in my mind I thought that this would be easier than it really is. I went with a 2 tone 2 application stain in espresso and terracotta. This was a very long process but well worth the effort in the end. It gave the flooring a warm and earthy feel that I was going for. However remembering the extra steps in that application process this time I opted to go with a single color. Here is how my project progressed...

Here is what I started with.  I have swept, acid etched, power washed, and dried the surface of the concrete.  Here it is after all treatments...

 Here is a picture of it with 1/4 of product applied.

Here it is after I have applied product to the whole floor and has dried.  I cannot believe what a difference this makes to the overall look of the barn.  If you didn't walk through a barn door to get inside you would never know that you were even in a barn!  I cannot wait until next week's Spring Grand Opening!  Come on out and see all my changes May 6th from 4-9pm and the 7th from 10am-2pm

Here are some room dividers that I knocked out yesturday too.  This one is before the canvas treatment was added,

This is after...

Big make over at the barn

So I have been working all week on various projects at the barn. I am striving for a complete overhaul but I think with the time remaining before our Grand Spring Opening I am going to have to settle for a make-over instead.  I have started with taking out all my props and am down to ground zero. 

Here is a picture of the ceiling earlier today.

I have added a little elegance and whimsy with some cream Georgette sheer fabric that I salvaged from my wedding 2 years ago.  I layered the sheers and tacked it to the rafters below my existing twinkle lights.  I love how it adds so much texture.  Here is the after picture (sorry it's kinda blurry)

I have also covered 2/3rds of the barn walls with 1x6 wood fencing that I salvaged from my uncle who was building a new fence a couple years ago. (it's been sitting out behind the barn for that long just waiting for me to re-purpose it much to my parents delight)  Thanks Uncle Dave!  If anyone you know is looking to get rid of fencing I do need a bit more so let me know.

On to another project that I finished up today as well...

Remember that really cute green house that I built a couple weeks ago?  Well I sold it at the show last week but the buyer wanted to make several modifications.  So here's what we came up with just before Easter...

An adorable bunny palace!  Complete with a pull out drawer to catch the waste.  I have another on order but with a little different design.  I'll probably start that little project later next week.  I'll be sure to post the pictures of that one too.

Okay to finish this post off I thought I would do a couple BEFORE and AFTERS.  I just love the miracle of paint and hardware.

A little bit of sun = a lot of projects to be completed...

So today such a wonderful surprise!  2 days in a row for that big yellow ball in the sky to grace us with its presence.  I started the morning off with this list of all the things that I HAD to accomplish for my upcoming barn sale that is less than 2 weeks away.  I have a ton of ideas for how I want everything to come together this year.  I of course have to change EVERYTHING from last year.  But...

once I got out to the Barn my mom (Pam) was disecting an old spring mattress that we had salvaged from the coast.  After figuring out what her plans were for the rusty thing I grabbed my pliers and went to town uncoiling the springs from the frame.

About 45 minutes later we separated the coils from the frame.  We then took the frame to the garden where we had mounted posts and wired the frame to the post.  The coils will be used for another project soon to come.

Hopefully in the next several weeks Pam's Oregon Sugar Snap peas will have a run at the frame.  All in all I really liked how it turned out but I got to work doubly hard tomorrow to get some more changes done to the barn and a few more things checked off my list of MUST DO list. 

A jammed packed and wonderful weekend!

 The Heritage Spring Faire was a SMASHING success! I was so excited about the show but now that it's over I can be honest... I was SUPER nervous. Although I have several shows under my belt (or shall I say apron) there is always that moment where I wonder did I do everything that needed to be done? Did I have all that I needed out? Is everyone taken care of? Did I in fact get my make-up on? All these things are running a hundred miles and hour through my brain at the time when guests are arriving. I can say that at this show I need not have worried. All the vendors in the show were wonderful! Their displays were absolutely beautiful. I did grab a few quick pictures of my space before it started but all the truly beautiful shots are soon to come from S & C photography. As soon as I get them I'll be posting them up.
