Hi. My name is Barb. My husband Paul and I have been together 24 years. Our son Matt is in the Navy, our daughter, Jenny, is graduating from high school this spring, and our daughter, Natalie, will be entering high school next year. We have a rat named Stewie, a bird named Baby Blue, a cat named Chester, and a dog named Weatherby. There’s never a dull moment at our house—lol!
I love the early American style of decorating, folk art, and primitives. I really enjoy looking at all the great houses of all the lovely ladies on this forum, so when I was asked to submit pictures for the homestead of the month, I felt so unworthy and was really nervous.
Our home is a small rambler style. My decorating is sparse—guess I’m going for the “simplified” look. There are just a couple of rooms I’m able to try to decorate “my way,” as the others in the house don’t quite share the same enthusiasm for this style as me. I never thought I’d put myself “out there” by exposing myself—er, I mean my home—to the whole world. So, if I can do it, you can do it too!
