Rubies & Rust

Click here now to go straight to the Rubies & Rust website, or scroll down for links to my posts on the decorating and unveiling of this charming wedding venue.

Rubies & Rust is a retired barn turned wedding venue, though you can rent it for other events, too.  It is owned by wedding officiant, Cindy Faus Heimerl.  What does it have to do with me?  I'm her pal with tools but not testosterone, so I get called in to help decorate and rearrange furniture.  She knows I will help her move the same sofa six times, and then back to it's original spot without ever questioning why a woman would want to do this, and why I should help. 

If you are a bride, you probably have an idea of why you would want a friend like me.  If not, you are either marrying Mr. Perfect, or you haven't asked the groom to do this on a Saturday afternoon, yet.  I'm also the pal with the paintbrush.  You can check out the story and photos of my grand scheme to turn cinder block into fine stone here: http://theartofthehome.blogspot.com/2011/08/once-upon-time-they-lived-happily-ever.html

The following link will take you to the post from this blog that features the unveiling of the restyled barn, where there are several photos of the interior. No matter how gorgeous it is, however, every time Cindy walks through it she adds a detail, so be prepared to be dazzled when you do actually visit in person.
