Back in the Barn Mahal…

.

It was recently brought to my attention that our barn was in need of comfortable seating in which to kick back after a vigorous session of drinking. And to that I say…

I’m way ahead of you.

.

.

Okay, so it’s actually just the porch furniture we store inside every winter… but I’m thinking come spring, when it heads back outside? Two leather club chairs with a small table in between.

.

.

Husband hung a few appropriate signs behind the (soon to be bar) the other day.

.

Armpit lemon? Remind me not to over indulge in Puerto Rico.

.

.

no sewing required  spot was found for the husband’s assorted patches.

.

.

And a few more photos were carefully hung… while standing on a safe.

.

.

As you can see, I have arrived … and finally been given representation in the man cave.

Yay me.

.

.

A magnetic bottle opener was installed on the staircase.

.

.

And a recent antique store purchase was displayed.

It’s time for Name That Crap!

What is it?

(Kerry, you be quiet. 😉)

.

Barn (and bar!) news.

.

Continuing in the if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em paradigm, I gifted the husband some nice new pool sticks.

.

.

Canadian maple of various colors and weights.

.

.

I also gathered some of the military patches he’s had stuck in his drawer for years.

.

.

I’m trying to think of some way to display them… you know, a way that doesn’t involve sewing. Because my love only goes so far.

.

.

A few man cave appropriate books were dropped on the table…. and then –

.

.

Our bar building contractor showed up with the top of the bar.

.

.

I have to admit I was liking the 3 different shades of wood colors….

.

.

Until I realized that was the unfinished side. But after it was sanded down and smoothed, even the husband agreed it would need to be stained before the polyurethane.

Victory is mine!

And that called for a drink. Or a cocktail in a pretty can as the case may be.
