NAPA VALLEY BARN TOUR



THE RED POLE BARN AT ROUND POND

I am happy to be participating in the annual Napa Valley Barn Tour this weekend.  It is hosted by Preservation Napa Valley www.preservationnapavalley.org/upcomingevents/2011barntour.html.  The barn tour highlights a variety of Napa Barns and sites of interest.  The Hub barn this year is Round Pond's www.roundpond.com Beautiful pole barn.  The barn is a spectacular, large and very linear space;    architectural clarity and simplicity at its finest.  The hub barn hosts speakers, a brunch, and entertainment and is the jumping off point for the tour.  I have put together an "Art Lounge".  I used some of the agricultural posts that were stacked in the barn as a backdrop.  A barn inspired white on white panel constructed of perforated and sculpted wood strips.  A large zinc and mesh clad light fixture hangs from the rafters above.  The large low slab table is made from used French Oak dominoes (used to flavor wine).  A crate chair and route blanc sling back chair anchor the two ends and a long dark bench curbs the other.  A pair of hefty white bowls from Pope Valley artist Richard Carter www.richardcarterstudio.com rests on the table.  I hope you can make it.  If not be sure to get on the mailing list for next years event.
