It seems like just yesterday I decorated and redecorated our master bedroom. It’s no secret that I’m:
a) never done decorating and b) have a major crush on all things equestrian.
Ever since I met Alison from The Polohouse through her blog last year, I’ve decided I just can’t get enough of that classic equine look. I mean look at her fabulous tack room. I love her Ralph Lauren-esque style…

Speaking of awesome bloggers, I recently worked on a project with my friend Jill from The Virginia House…
Jill makes amazing hand painted signs on Etsy. But I should mention she only puts out a very limited number of her paintings, as she is a dedicated full-time mommy : )
I just about fell out of my chair when I saw this sign she made for her bathroom….
I’ve got the decorating bug once again, and I’ve decided to give our master bedroom yet another makeover – equestrian style! Very recently, I commissioned Jill to make a personalized sign specially for our bedroom, and boy did she deliver! These shots were taken by Jill before she shipped it out to us to make sure everything was satisfactory. (Insert huge LIKE button here)
Incase you didn't know, our last name is Grey. And yes, I do get asked if I’m Jennifer Grey, the actress, and no, I’m definitely not her! We chose the year 1954 because it holds sentimental value to Adam’s grandfather…
Jill kindly attached two D-rings to the back of the sign, which I haven’t hung up in our bedroom yet. I decided I first needed some frame hanging wire, to hang between the two rings…
In my search, I found a great website called Poster Frame Depot that carries frame hanging wire and many other framing supplies and accessories. I know I’ll be calling upon them for future projects for sure.
Now I just need to find the time to hang my new Grey Stables sign up in our bedroom!
Stay tuned for more updates on our master bedroom remodel project!
Till next time, click and keep up with us on our favorite sites…
Nothing is every done in my house either. I move so slowly it seems once I close to having a room done I fall hard for a completly different look or color and have to start all over again.
ReplyDeleteYour new sign is fabulous by the way and I just can't wait to see how you decorate your room around it.
Thanks Jennifer! I can't wait to see the "new" room!
ReplyDeleteI'm always re-doing rooms here, too. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove that new sign! She does great work :)
Have you seen Laurie Anna's equine room makeover...at laurieannas.blogspot.com ?
It is truly an inspiration, as I'm sure yours will be!
Love the idea!
I love the sign! I've fallen in love with using 3M Command strips to hang pictures! No nail marks on one's walls and they are easy to remove. I use the kind that are placed on both the wall and the picture frame (as many of you need to support the weight) and click them together.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!! I have some horse stuff for sale :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Cant wait to see what you do with your Master bedroom. I am getting Spring Fever
ReplyDeletehere and excited about finishing things up in our total tear down-build back redo.....yuk! It has been a total mess. Blessings and enjoy your new sign!
Wonderful sign! We've started using HanGman products for heavy mirror etc. I love these and they come with their own little level.

lovely sign....we r movn to the country. The horse ranch where we board our horses! I m leavn an upscale subdivision to a double wide...with only dirt instead of sidewalks..but I get to wake up every morning to the smell of horses!!!! and b mere minutes from our ponies too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started blogging I was Pawsh~Poodle...then City gurl Country Gurl.......now I have changed again so I know I am keeping my felllow bloggers on their toes...ha ha. I m having bathroom~hand towels made in the equestrian theme by a Fellow blogger and Etsy shop owner....sweet magnolia farms.
Hi Jennifer...I LOVE the new sign for your bedroom and I can't wait to see how you've decorated the room! I love all things equestrian but I have never decorated my home that way. I'm sure that will change especially since we now have 2 horses here on the farm. The horse that is MINE has been trained in both English and Western Pleasure so I have some options here ;) I'm quite sure I'll be gleaning some great ideas from you. Have fun decorating and enjoy your Friday.

Jennifer~I totally LOVE this sign! So perfect for my equestrian friend!! xok
ReplyDeleteLove the equestrian look too! Nothing like the old leather smell to give a room the vintage vibe! Your sign is very cool!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new look for your master...the sign is beautiful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the sign in her bath!!
I'm so glad to see you feature Alison's blog. I never realized how much I loved equestrian styling until I laid eyes on her blog. She's a treasure here in blogland.
