Barns have long held an attraction for me too. I also cry when I see one in a sad state of disrepair and abandonment and at the same time I see the beauty in the structure and wood. If I was a younger woman, I so would join you on the farm, mucking out stalls and cleaning up and smiling as each new baby is born. I also like you, hope that one day we hear youngsters answer Farmer, when asked what do you want to grow up to be?

About 4 or 5 years ago my focus changed and what excited me was no longer the trappings of Nordstroms or Macys. Simplicity has been my call of late, and working towards a much more simple existance in my home and life. Simple however is no less busy…

I would love to have one of their garden sheds. I drool over the barns. Reminds me of my grandparents farm but their barn wasn’t near as nice. But I can’t justify a barn for 2 dogs and one cat.

My fantasy is to work in a barn everyday in Anthropologie clothes…..

Cute post. I personally covet Anthropolgie and wear paint-stained everything. Congratulations on the new sponsorship and on having such wonderful lofty intention for your life’s work.

I used to be the same way! Clothes, clothes, clothes in my teens and 20s. Now that I’m 30, couldn’t care less. I’m a city girl, too, and I always wanted to get away to wide open spaces, buy a big piece of land and live in a red barn. Sand Creek has a nice website!

I too an living a second life, totally different from my first.
Am now married to a dairy farmer, but we do not live on the farm. We have a acreage but no barn. As we drive through the countryside am always pointing out place that do not appreciate their barns and how sad that is. I dream of having a barn, two levels, lower for all the little critter and upper for a craft workshop. Perfect!

Ooooooooo. This is exciting. They are beautiful. Let’s have a barn raising! How long will it take us to be able to afford it? All the Aunties can have a sleepover in the loft!

That is so exciting!! I very rarely admit this, because people look at me like I’m nutty, but I always wanted to live in the middle of nowhere in a refurbished barn. I have ever since I was little. Looking at the homes on the website made me drool a little. This is super wicked awesome!
