dismantled barn: every girl's dream

This girl, at least.  Really, what could be better than picking through a pile of red barnwood from a dismantled barn in the Pioneer Valley on a beautiful fall day?  Sad to see the barn go, but as so many are these days, this one was structurally unsound.  I'm very glad to know that all of the barn boards will be salvaged and reused, some by me!  

Luckily, friends are well aware of my barn habit and hooked me up with this incredible opportunity.  I can't wait to get into the studio to start using this gorgeous wood.
