Well Pulley
Purchased for a song @ The Main Street Peddler, Lamberton, MN 

Why We Love It...

This pulley is a work of art visually...

 It is beautifully circular in design creating a sense of movement...

It is made from visually & functionally strong black cast iron which...

Helps to create a focal point in design.

Why We REALLY Love It...

This pulley is very similar in design...

To the farm fabulous barn door hardware...

we recently installed!

Now we just need to figure out...

What to do with it?

Farm Fabulous Stool

Purchased for way more than a song @ www.worlmarket.com

Why We Love It...

This stool seems indestructible and was found on the wonderful world of...

 Pinterest {follow my boards for other great finds}  

Also my dear friend & fellow DIY'er Megan Denne shared where to find them...

I'd follow her boards too, as she is an amazing photographer & designer.

These stools are an interesting mix of materials.

In design it is good to contrast things like wood & metal.

Contrast makes you want to {LOOK} at something.

Contrast grabs & holds your attention.

These stools are FUNctional...

The Kids spin & spin & spin.

Lastly they were a gift of LOVE from my husband...

For Valentine's Day.

LANTERN

Purchased for $30.00 @ The Depot Antiques, Sleepy Eye, MN 

Why We Love It...

Lanterns are a popular decorator's pick. 

Why We Really Love It...

This lantern is Large & it's size creates a sense of focal point...

{Each Room Should Have ONE Focal Point a pièce de résistance}

The lantern also has a nice contrast of glass and metal.

Lastly, Brent bought this for me on a Junking/Antiquing day...

& it celebrates our excitement...

 For something old in a new way...

That's farm fabulosity!
