SNS 95 ~ barn/farm/western things





Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #95



If you're new here, join in! There are three categories to link to. Home Decor as well as Crafts, Sewing, Recipes, plus the 3rd themed link up which stays open indefinitely. Check below for this weekend's theme.

Party starts Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm pacific, so you have all weekend to join!

I'll be featuring SNS highlights during the weekend on FJI Facebook, so join in and see what they're all saying about your stuff. :)
This weekend's theme:

~ Farm/western things ~

When you say farm / western to me, I immediately think of:


Barnwood doors.

Three planks later, you have an outstanding feature that looks 100 years old. Makes you want to run for the hammer and nails, doesn't it? 

The Marian House Book


Chippy farmtables. 

This spectacular table and bench in the middle of a crisp white farm kitchen... LOVE.

HVITUR LAKKRIS


Barn lights.

This chicken feeder light is totally perfect for a farm table desk inspired office.

Funky Junk Interiors



Barn stars


I love a distressed wooden barn star. How hard would it be to make one I wonder...


Shore






Chicken wire


Cloches made from chicken wire wearing a rusty patina add instant warmth, especially to white spaces.


Country Living




Barn windows


Gotta  love an old chippy window framing something it wasn't originally meant to. :)

    I love the barn stars, I will have to figure out how to do those as well. I have the perfect spot for them. I have always loved barn doors, but I have no where to put them. Rats!

    Hi Donna. Thanks soo much for hosting! I love chicken wire anything. I picked up a chicken wire basket at some random store for only $6 and couple weeks later I saw the same one for $25 at HomeSense. And on the tag it said the price at another store would be $40!! Guess I got a great deal. : ) I use it in our entry for the kids to throw their flip flops in. There's a look of ideas going through my head on how to use it in the cooler months. Hope you have a great weekend!! : )
