Home on the Range

 

Last weekend we took a lovely drive out to the country. We went to visit my cousin and her boyfriend who recently purchased a large acreage northwest of our city. It's definitely a different pace of life out there; a refreshing, rustic retreat. Magnificent views, interesting historic outbuildings, and antiques left behind within them....their property was full of inspiration!

The stunning picturesque view to the west.

A classic John Deer green mailbox from Kaboodle would certainly fit in well out there!
Old farm equipment poses like intricate sculptures near the stables

Wouldn't it be wonderful to snuggle up with this cozy Pottery Barn throw and watch a storm roll in?

I love the worn green paint on this outbuilding - one of many filled with interesting antiques.
Hello nosy neighbors!
Their sweet puppy 'Sherlock' was exhausted after a day of exploring on the acreage.
