Blakken Stall, in the basement of Peder Barn, was designed and completed by my husband Dan. Admiring the finished product, he exclaimed: This is my favorite room. Wow, how inviting can a room be? Handcrafted solid timber benches and bar, wood burning stove and original half meter thick granite walls make the word cozy inadequate. Blakken Stall was named after my beloved childhood horse Blakken. I can feel his dear presence in this room. A farm wagon wheel, original brass horse collars, snow shoes and other horse gear have been lovingly modified into lamps, a coffee table and other dcor in this marvelous pub-like basement - a nostalgic but elegant room in wood, leather and stone - no plastic. Here you can enjoy a peaceful hide-a-way playing cards or games by the fire!
