Even though I live on a suburban lot outside of Atlanta, I like to think of my little plot of land as my “farm”. Especially since moving is on hold for another year or two so this is all the “farm” I’m getting right now. What’s a farm without a barn? Especially a red barn. I have a bad case of barn heart!
I dream about ReD barns. As you can see, I wasn’t able to finish painting my own “barn” red last fall due to issues with my paint sprayer.

Does a barn have to be big?

Can you say barn envy! Actually her whole property is just gorgeous and I’m so jealous. That pond……
I’ll finish my “barn” as soon as it gets warm again.
Do you heart barns?
Oh man, YES!!!!!!!!!!! FABULOUS!
Love it! Our house is red – the only one in the neighborhood. I thought it looked like a barn the first time our realtor showed us the house 🙂

How wonderful! I’ve always wanted either a red or yellow house (mine’s white).

I do love red barns! Once we redo our shed, I plan on painting it barn red to bring some color to the yard. 🙂
I definitely heart barns!
I was thrilled when my neighbors painted their barn two or three years ago. It was already red but the deep “barn red” paint makes it pop… especially in winter… much like one sees a cardinal better in the snow. I can actually see it from my front window in the winter.
They have another barn but it is white and although attractive, does not compare with the red beauty.
Your neighbors barn actually came to mind as I was writing this post!
Good ole’ fashioned barns are hard to come by in great condition! There are a few still left. Lots of history in them. You’ve found some beautiful ones!
I love these! I want a barn too!
I do love barns too! I would love to live in a farmhouse, have a barn and do barn sales. Wouldn’t that be fun?
YES!! I actually thought about doing that last year in my backyard next to my barn LOL but it would be so much fun to have a huge barn that you could have set up with different vendors.
Boy oh boy do I heart barns!! Glad I’m not the only one. 😉
I thought of Brenda’s neighbor’s barn too! I think your barn is going to look amazing when it is finished, and I love the shade of red.
We have a red and white barn, but the red we used is called Jamestown Red and has more brown in it than I prefer…it looks great though.
Love all the barn photos…I would love to remodel and old barn and live in it!
It would be fun to live in a remodeled barn but can you imagine the heating bills!!:)

Oh, boy do I heart barns! I, too, live on a suburban lot outside Atlanta (Lawrenceville). It took me a few years to figure out why I chose the house we bought here. In the end, one of the main factors, embarrassingly enough, is that it is barn red. Lol. Rookie mistake.
We are planning a move as well, out to the sticks in SC in 2013. Lately I’ve spent a lot of time online looking at plans….for barns.
Barns are gorgeous, and I love to think of all the living that’s been done on the land. My husband’s grandparents still live on the family farm in NC (Grandaddy was born in that house 95 years ago!), and they have some great buildings on their property. Seeing all those barns makes me homesick for my upstate SC home! 🙂
Oh yes! I *heart* barns too. I love old, weathered ones, and I particularly love red ones. They remind me of the ones where I grew up. Around here, the barns aren’t always as pretty,but I can still find ones that I love. Hope you get your little barn finished. I remember when you started that.
I DO heart barns! My favorite one is the one with the lake… be still my heart! Enjoy your weekend, HUGS!
I ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Barns! Having grown up on Grandma and Grandpa’s farm must have helped that love grow.It is my fondest wish to some day have one of my bery own:>)
Yes! Yes Yes…Love RED barns…swoon. Love all your pics. There is a book about Barns in Michigan I have wanted to go through for a long time…need to check the libraries here in Cedar Rapids to see if they have it. what a lovely post…You will be doing the happy dance when you get yours finished!! 🙂 🙂 hugs. ENJOYED!!!
I love me some RED BARNS TOO!!!! Like you, I’ve got my little barn red shed and hen house to satisfy my farmgirl heart! Lovely post!
Yes! We heart barns, especially red ones. These in the picture are beautiful. We had a very run down barn on our property when we moved here, which we have worked on and painted barn red. It doesn’t compare to the ones in your post, but heres a post about it.

I always enjoy looking at your garden posts. They inspire me and I’m really getting in the mood to work in the yard. Won’t be long til Spring!
We’re actually considering painting our “barn” red. For the longest time, it was a large pole barn that protected our camper. Over the Christmas break my husband enclosed it and is moving his workshop into the barn. I suggested red as the new color and he likes the idea. We may just paint the front and “live with it” for awhile to make sure we like the color.
I looooove barns, especially ones with painted quilts!

your pictures were so pretty!
