Branstetter Barn Holiday Tour 2012

Pin It
Welcome, all to our 2012 holiday tour! I have combined all of the pictures from this seasons posts to show you a final tour of our 130 year old barn in the German countryside, all decked out for the holidays! I have made some updates along the way so you will see the living room two slightly different ways! Grab a cup of cocoa, relax, enjoy and make yourself at home!















Here is our living room before we got our shutters...













And here is the room with our lovely shutters!







Here is our beverage bar before our chalkboard menu...



And here is with our new chalknoard menu...By the way... In Italian it is spelled Natale but it's an inside joke with my friends to write Natalie...I changed it all for you linguists...

Happy holidays to you and yours!

    Stunning! It feels very Bing Crosby/Rosemary Clooney to me. Warm and sophisticated, gracefully aged yet vibrant. It's just lovely.

    Very nice. It certainly has a warm feel with the earthy tones. I enjoyed looking at your vintage decos. What does the outside of the barn look like. Is it in the countryside? Merry Christmas!

      Thank you so much Julie! The outside of the barn is actually attached to the home and it is in the country side! I will show you my village! We are working on setting up a nice patio for the spring and summer! Click the link to see what our countryside looks like!
