Guest Post - The Polohouse





    Today I am so honored that Alison @ The Polohouse is doing a guest post.  She is a wife and mom and such a sweet and friendly lady, you will love her if you don't already know her.  As you can see by her header picture, she lives in a fabulous Polo Barn and Stable that has been converted into a house.  Her home is unbelievable and you will absolutely love her and her decor style.  Very elegant and so warm and welcoming, with touches of equestrian charm. She has such a special gift for mixing fabrics, colors and antiques with the new to create stunning rooms and vignettes.  Just be prepared to drool every time you visit.  Thanks so much Alison, I really appreciate you filling in. 

     


    Thank you so much, Marty, for allowing me
    the opportunity to be one of your guest bloggers
    this week!

    This is the little fall vignette on my kitchen island
    that I added this week.
      
     
     

     
    I found this cute little gold and black paint pail in
    Minnesota last month and thought it would be fun filled
    with some rust colored mums. It is very old and badly
    stained but I loved the colors and graphics and thought
    it was charming as found.
     
     
     
     

     
    It is paired with a small wheel barrow from Pottery Barn
    filled with gourds, mini pumpkins and some faux hedge
    apples. (Have yet to find any fresh ones!)

     
     
     
     
     
    The Dutch Boy Paint pail reminded me of my husband's
    sweet grandmother. She was a child dancer on the Vaudeville
    circuit as a child. She sang and danced during the same years
    that Shirley Temple was famous. She traveled all over the country
    entertaining audiences from 1920 through 1930. During that time she posed for
    the Dutch Boy paint company's logo and here are a couple of shots
    from that experience sometime around 1920
     
     



     
     
     

     
    Hope you are enjoying these first days of fall
    as much as we are here in Illinois. The leaves
    are in the beginning stages of their spectacular show!

    Enjoy your week, and thank you again Marty for this great honor
    of guest hosting on your fantastic blog. Have fun in Hawaii.

    xx ~
    Alison
