An obsession: Barn Homes

Did you know I am absolutely obsessed with the idea of building a barn home with my sweetheart?  He shares the dream.  On paper it may sound dorky but take a peek at these photos and tell me if you don't start obsessing a little too!

Another great verse to our perpetual favorite...

{Soldier Shield via Lee}

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!




Happy Fourth of July and God bless America!

My Next DIY

I love this chevron rug DIY over at Little Green Notebook!  I would love to try my hand at it.  I think I would prefer to make mine look like this one I have been eyeing at West Elm:

I know Jared would tell me to save the DIY project money and save up for the real deal and I agree with his logic.  But for me and my transient sense of style, the $36 option is just right.  :)
