Equestrian Coach House

I couldn't help but feature the rest of the Equestrian Coach House whose office I had featured earlier this week.  This house is just heaven in my book.  Every detail has been executed fabulously and each equine accent contributes to the equestrian chicness of this home.  I couldn't help but feature the rest of the

To be an equestrian is a lifestyle, so an equestrian space should convey that.  Ribbons, trophies, and equine supplies are not out of place.  Display them proudly because it's who you are. This bar area looks like it would just after a Fox Hunt.  Don't be afraid to use that equine boldness. 

 
A cozy corner for relaxation after a long day on the trails that doubles as storage area for all your equine accessories.  I'd love to build myself a nook like this one complete with equestrian pillows and paintings.  The dark wood makes the space even more inviting. 

I love this quote: "Equestrian style is not for the faint of heart – or palate."  This is what this coach house is all about.  Be bold with your equestrian style and you'll be rewarded with a masterpiece like this one.
