Board #404: Equestrian Elegance

It must be all this time I'm spending here in Montana that's inspired two horse-related inspiration boards in a row. Whatever it is, I love the simplicity of this palette: the gray of aged barnwood, the green of summer grass and trees, and the rich brown of old iron keys and horseshoes. Refined rustic is one of my favorite looks, because it can be classic and unfussy at the same time.

Mood: equestrian elegance
Palette: gray barnwood, green pasture

You totally captured "Rustic Elegance" here... wish I'd had this equestrian board for my Kentucky Derby feature: http://notes.camillestyles.com/2009/04/30/gettin-lucky-in-kentucky/
BUT, luckily your Kentucky Derby board provided LOADS of inspiration for that one! :)

I love this so much. I wish my entire life could be dressed up like these photos. And with a great soundtrack. I am living in la-la land today - can you tell?

Where is the key seating cards picture from? It's missing a link.
