Driving through rural areas, it’s likely you’ve seen iconic red barns that speckle the landscape. Hundreds of years ago, farmers would seal their barn with a varnish of some mixture of linseed oil, lime and rust, which under the sun, would turn to the coral, burnt orange or red ochre hue that we are now familiar with. When paint became more available, many people chose red for their barns to pay homage of the tradition. Whether you live on a ranch or have fantastic barnyard memories, this farm scrapbook layout will make you whinny with glee!
