HORSE CHIC – AN EQUESTRIAN STYLE ENTRY!

June 10, 2011
  • Share
Foyer with dark wood paneled walls, a saddle draped over a wood cane chair, two pairs of riding boots, a tote bag, and a stack of firewood

Years ago, I rode horses. I rode 3-4 times a week for about 5 years. On weekdays, I would get up at 5:30a and was at the stables by 6:30a for an hour ride. I loved riding horses. I eventually stopped (a few months after a bit of a fall, I got off the horse for good…I know…I know…cliche…but it is true…I fell off the horse, got back on for a bit, and then got off for good).

I have lots of little horsey things around my house…I have some fantastic Pierre Frey horse pillows on my bed, a tiny iron horse sculpture on my bookshelf, and countless riding boots, helmets and riding gear stuffed into closets. For some reason, I can’t seem to let go of the horse woman in me!

Love this entryway in an 1870’s coach house in Canada. The dark wood paneled walls, the arched doorway (almost Gothic door frame) and all of the horsey chic accessories and furniture. Love the riding boots and saddle as lovely theme accents! Also, love the firewood in the foyer…creating a visually interesting feature wall while also being extremely functional.

Alternative view of the foyer showing it's dark wood arched door, a dark wood chair with a red blanket draped over the back, and a stack of firewood creating a visually interesting and functional feature wall

What do you think about equestrian chic? Do you like this entry?

Happy Friday!

    The door is Gothic Coco and there’s no reason not to have a love of Equestrian as once it’s within one it’s nigh onto impossible to remove…though I’ve yet to know anyone of the horsey set who’d ever care to remove it from their person, even I though I just keep my equestrian memories solidly put away in a few prints and treasured photos wrapped in re-purposed saddle leather. 😉

    I rode for many years too and it still remains one of my favorite things though I rarely get to go, and aren’t horses just the most beautiful animal ever!! I think so. Love that “stable door” as an entry door, so charming!

    Love this post! I rode regularly for about 10 years growing up… even into college. Haven’t been on one in years and miss it so! And like you, I can’t seem to get rid of all my horse stuff… tack, boots, even grooming box are all up in the attic. You know, I case I need it one day. 🙂

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
