Welcome back! All this week I have been featuring home owner Debby Stallings incredible decor. Most of it is thrifty finds or creations she herself has made. And in case you have missed earlier post, Debby happens to LIVE in a thrifty find. A barn that she has turned into a wonderful, comfortable home that is big on charm. I like to call "barn charm". So join me, won't you for more of the tour. Today we are heading up to the loft area of the barn. We will begin by heading up the stairs. Debby has this stairwell painted bright yellow, very cheerful.























Debby's friend painted her this picture of mules. The frame was made from some of the original wood from her barn. Debby salvaged everything in the renovation of her barn. Debby said she intentionally made the frame not exactly straight. She wanted it to look as though it were made long ago.
















All of the items on the wall are farm implements, most of them found in the barn itself.  It adds such character and preserves the history of the building.
















Upstairs in the first part of the loft Debby has created herself a sewing area. She was literally in the middle of a window "mistreatment" but I wanted to share. With fabric scraps she created a window panel and is in the process of hanging it with knobs (like the one in the middle).
















I like this sign in the sewing room. The story of my life. :)
















Ok, now we will peek into the bathroom on this level. This is the master bath.
Debby rescued an old dresser and used it in her bath by using it as a counter.























She chose vintage looking fixtures to go along with the integrity of the house.
















Now this is my favorite thing in this bathroom...and quite possibly her home. This my friends is the original feed trough!

















Inside....on one side toilet paper. The other sides holds magazines and reading material to enjoy while soaking in a bubble bath!
















This is Debby's bedroom. Isn't is charming and cozy?
















I spied this original mannequin bust in the corner with vintage pins on it. Debby literally found it in someones roadside trash. She stopped her car, threw him in shot gun and never looked back. I think it's quite happy "beaming" in the corner of this room! What a great roadside find. Some people have all the luck!























And be sure to notice the ceiling! Wood planks! And before you ask...as I did...the barn has a tin roof. Can you imagine the wonderful sound of rain in here?























Did you see the French doors? They really wash this room full of gorgeous sunlight!
come on outside. There is more to see out there!

Isn't this upper deck charming?
















The bench was a Home Goods find...as well the pillows.

This is the perfect place to wake up and enjoy morning coffee and read the newspaper.






















That is if you aren't distracted by the view...as I would be.

I hope you have enjoyed the barn tour! My sincere appreciation to Debby Stallings for allowing us inside her charming home. Additional thanks to Laura Beth Joseph for making certain that I stuck around for the tour. I was exhausted after shooting photos in the heat outside. LB insisted I stay to see Debby's home. I am so glad did. Amazing!
