Hazard Ranch

Hanging a lucky horseshoe over an entrance to our house has been on my "fun idea but not a priority" list for a while now. In fact, it was on my list of things to do in our old house! I finally got around to purchasing one off eBay ($6 including shipping) and Chris hung it for me in the mudroom.
 Kinda cute, right?
 The sailboat art is also a new addition to the mudroom. I found it over the weekend while thrifting with my sister-in-law. It came in a frame, but I like it much better without.
 I also found this fun cowboy barkcloth...$6 for 1.5 yards. Not sure what I'll use if for yet, but I couldn't pass it up. Don't you just love the colors?

Between our new horseshoe and this fabric, I may have to consider renaming the blog to Hazard Ranch :)

My "not priority" list is soooo long, and I feel a sense of accomplishment if I can get one or two of them crossed off every now and then. Your new additions are great! I love the artwork!

Ha! Adorable finds. And the horseshoe is not kinda cute, it's definitely cute!

Love the horseshoe! I may have to "reuse" this idea! :)

The painting is great and the fabric is too! I have a serious attraction to fun novelty fabric too... even when I have no idea how or where I could use it in our house. Which is kinda why I started making pillow covers. Now I get to buy and work with it, but don't have to worry about it going with our decor. :)

Ooh the sailboat looks even better out of the frame. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with the fabric!

Great updates! I'm loving the horseshoe touch!

You mount a lucky horseshoe, I mount a nazar boncuk (evil eye)...and the Hebrews mount a mezuzah. Cross cultural!

Hazard Ranch sounds like a lovely and original name. I love the way you decorated your ranch, I mean your mudroom. :) It looks lovely!

Hello Miss Carrie,

Love the horseshoe! It is super fun! We have one hanging around that I've been meaning to put up above our entry door too. It just hasn't happened yet.
(Like so many of my dream projects.)
Your painting is super fun too. Good finds!
Camille

The horseshow will bring good luck right? I have one that I have yet to hang, will do now. Thanks for the motivation.

I love a good dose of cowboy...how can you not? (c: And strangely enough, I really *do* like the colors in that fabric! I would've never given it a second look...you're a fabric genius (c:
