While traveling to Austin, Texas, this week for work, I was lucky enough to spend some time in a small cabin at an organic farm just outside the city's limits. Utilizing a basic and lovely open layout, the entire structure was adorned with small, Southwestern details that gave it this cowgirl a whole bunch of great ideas for
Better Farm. Here are some key elements I loved:
 |
Tin backsplash in kitchen |
 |
Barn door-style room divider |
 |
Southwestern tiles used as main design instead of accents |
 |
Post-and-beam-style ceilings along with a very nice fan |
 |
A southwestern-style frame on the mirror and decorative bowl sink make this bathroom stand out. |
 |
Another view of the kitchen. Note the poured and dyed concrete flooring throughout the first level. |
 |
Trees, flowers, and birds as the curtains |
 |
Wooden walls painted dark with horizontal stripes |
The farm itself lent some other great ideas, as well:
 |
Outdoor seating area, campfire circle, and metal fire pit (and a none-too-shabby view!) |
 |
Animal fencing utilizing cut wood standing on end against a single metal pole and barbed wire. |
