Barn makeover

The barn.... I love having a barn. When we moved here it was full of stuff that had been relegated to the "don't know what else to do with it" pile. We have slowly been getting it cleaned out- I now have all said stuff in one stall, awaiting sorting out by our landlord (my BIL). The barn is set up with tie stalls, so Ted cut the dividers out of the first stall to make room for all my "stuff" (grin).
The plan is to customise it into my cowgirl getaway. It overlooks the mare pens so a great spot to watch foals playing... when  they finally arrive!
Here are some photos of where we are starting from.

The entrance to the barn (faces east) with my tack area and the second beam is where Ted opened up the first tie stall to make more room. The plan is to put tar paper up and build an inside wall so I can install my saddle stand and get proper hooks up for halters and bridles. Here is another view, with the stall loaded with the previous stuff in behind it:

The metal thing on the floor is my saddle rack, the cabinet is a hand made rustic one for holding all the stuff that is currently sitting on top of it.

The 3 cleaned out tie stalls. At the back is a good sized room that I use for small square bales and storing my barrels and seasonal stuff.
I had Beamer in there the other day, it was before I had the aisle cleaned up so he had to consider it for a while before he stepped in.

But it's nice being able to take my horse in there to unsaddle! I'll bring Rosalee in next time I ride. That might be a while between a rainy week and foal watch and trying to get the barn done!
