We know you love your horse—it’s a part of who you are. You can take your passion outside of the barnyard with a horseshoe picture frame that can be used to decorate your bedroom. It’s fun and creative way to bring your love of horses into every aspect of your life.
Start by selecting a color palette that suits your personality. A color palette is a set of colors you will use when decorating your room that complement each other. Not everything has to match perfectly as long as you pick from the same group of colors. For this bedroom, we chose the following color palette based on a bright floral fabric found at the local craft store: peony pink, salmon, cranberry, golden yellow, bright yellow and teal.
After making the horseshoe frame (instructions below), we created four canvases to hang on the wall. We painted them with stripes, silhouettes of horses, hearts (download shapes here), and of course, a favorite horsey quote.
Have fun with this and be creative! Add a photo of you and your horse to the display. A large wooden initial from your first name (or maybe your horse’s name) finishes off the look.

Great ideas...I will try some of them for our spring craft sale.
I like the old bucket, off to the right in the picture. That alone inspires some ideas.
So cute...
