I’ve seen a lot of things cute-i-fied over the last year, everything from shower curtains to camper mattresses, to pianos … but a barn? This is a first.
But hey, who says a barn can’t be cute? Not me. And Melanie’s barn certainly fits the bill. Look at all the detail she added, windows, flower boxes, the whole nine yards. No, even better than that, it’s ten yards! Where the heck did that saying come from anyway? It makes no sense whatsoever. Is it a football term?
Anyway, back to the point: Cute barn! By Melanie! See more on her blog The Old White Cottage.

About the inside … while we did make some modifications to the interior in order to install the windows, it isn’t complete. I’m not sure I’ll get to it this year but when it is done, I’ll be sharing that too!
