Last week, Motor Man and I went to a race in North Carolina. En route, we traveled through the little town of Murfreesboro, where I spotted this old fence.
A close-up of the gate with the house in the background.
The house seems to be in better condition than the fence, although there IS something to be said for shabby-chic.
Linking up to Friday’s Fences.
these days of mine 
Oh, I agree with you, Dianna. This shabby chic is striking.
i love it, so much detail!
Imagine this house and that fence in it’s “day?” I’ll bet it was beyond grand!

I love that fence – shabby chic and all – almost looks like a doll house mansion! But I would hate to have to paint that fence!
Absolutely inspiring. I love how it matches the house. They don’t make ’em like they used to!
Wow….talk about a fence (and house) with a lot of personality! I do agree though that it would be a pain in the neck to paint them…..especially that amazing fence.

So neat. I love Shabby Chic!
What a beautiful and unique fence. I hope it will be restored before it’s too late. Great photos!
That is one of the neatest fences I’ve ever seen! Love it!
Wow…I Love it!!!

I think this is my very favorite fence…well, right now, anyway!
Very cool—they don’t make ’em like that nowadays!
Interesting fence! I like the shabby look of it.
Wow! It looks like somebody had an idea & went with it ! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a busier fence 😉
I love the shabby chic decor, but that fence could use a painting… beautiful place, at any rate! =)
Now that is something rather special!
Dianna~you always inspire me and delight my heart. i am giving you the inspiring blog award http://believeanyway.wordpress.com/2012/09/02/very-inspiring-blogger. publishing the post on sunday.
Shabby chic is the perfect adjective for this vintage fence – I love it!
I really love this fence – it is very unusual. 🙂
Congratulations on your award and thanks very much for nominating me for it – I’m very flattered. I will do a post tomorrow for it. :))
Have a lovely weekend.
Some things are just beautiful in whatever condition they happen to exist.
A very different type of fence. Very nice.
My husband’s family used to have a peanut farm in Murfreesboro and we had a lot of friends there. It was definitely a neat town. Your fence takes me back…..
That’s a fantastic little fence. I love old houses like this with character. I hope they’ll recondition it, its got to be one of a kind. Looks like a cute house back there too.
