Madison in May 2014~Part II. Willow Oak Farm

I took so many pictures during our tours I had to break up my posts! Willow Oak Farm was so big and had so many interesting and beautiful features I had to give it it’s own post. Enjoy!

Across the street are the guest cottages, converted 1800s buildings.

Old kitchen and slave quarters. My family has one on their property and would look awesome finished off similarly to how they have done it. The vintage stove and small kitchen addition are so fun!

Quick side note: On our way into town we stopped at the huge estate sale on the main road, as I’m sure many others did. It was a mad house and many items were already sold but we had fun just walking around and looking at all of the interesting things. I bought a few little things-some old cookbooks, a vintage hand stitched runner, and some pottery. I love finding treasures and if you do too be sure to follow me on Instagram {@brightgirl22} to see all of the fun things I’m finding and reusing in fun ways.
