Horse Hoarding

Only upon reviewing the year, did I realize that 2012 was a bumper year for acquiring vintage art! Mostly large in scale. The horse over my bed, the wall hanging in the dining room, Chinese Girl in the bathroom and the Red Horse in the living room….except that I never told you about him, only here on instagram.

When I brought him home, I also learned that I might need a horse intervention. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it became apparent that I had been subconsciously horse-hoarding. I enjoyed riding at summer camp as a kid, but I was never one of those “horsey people”. What happened?! Look around my house and you’ll see, I’m not just the crazy bird lady, fawner of fawns, but now I’m prone to horse-hoarding. Let’s call it chronic equestrian assemblage, shall we? Sounds less creepy….or maybe not.

Exhibit A is the aforementioned red horse in all its textural yumminess.

The girl at Pre to Post Modern told me that the peeps who do the sets for Nashville were really interested in it, and had taken several pictures. Maybe for the Juliette Barnes house I posted about when it first went on the market?! Sorry….you snooze, you lose.

    The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. But, why would you want to recover from this? All your pieces are unique and lovely. I especially love the red beauty – and how awesome that the Nashville people wanted it. Maybe they could borrow it from you (for a slight fee, of course)??

    I love all your pieces. I say don’t mess with a good thing so keep the horses coming. I’m very jealous of the red piece. He is fabulous! – Brandy

    Whoa! You are a horsey person! Next thing you know you’ll be getting chaps and riding boots!

    Love that red horse!

    I love all of your horse finds, but I’m pretty sure until you have a “horse hallway” like I do, are you really certifiably able to be committed for too much horse play. <— See what I did there? :-)
