This is the tack room before.    Located in a horse barn that's actively giving riding lessons.  Students are in & out getting the tack for their horse.  The stairs to the hay loft are also located there.

My first day I started the stone half wall & ledge.

On the 2nd day I did some shading on the stones & painted the background color for doing some wood graining around the faux window area. Has anyone ever noticed how much gas horses have?  I definately knew I wasn't alone. LOL

The 3rd day I did some more layering on the stones, highlighting & did the wood graining. Didn't stay long as it was a cold windy day at the barn.

Here are a few more pictures I took of different areas in the tack room.  I'd like to continue all the way around. Looking out the tack room door. The bridle wall opposite the stairs.  Award ribbons hung over the top & a horse stall on the other side.

The corner at the foot of the stairs going to the hay loft.

A cut out area of wall going up the stairs.
