My Houzz: A Colorful and personality filled Ranch - Florida family have learned long ago that I must do all the space I'm in my own, 'Gany Lalo Bernal said. "It has to say something that I am." This philosophy was paired with Gany dream of life on a farm. When she came across a blog it nine years ago of a woman who had moved from the city to a farm in the country, making the garden of fruit jam and enjoy fresh eggs from chickens that she raised Gany admired the bravery of women in making such a change in his life. And here I am, 34 years old with four children and going through a difficult divorce, she said. "But I saved the blog, hoping that one day I too will have a great story to tell."

that day has come for Gany when she met her husband, Jimmie, and they bought a farm in Southwest Ranches, Florida, which was part of the estate of an elderly couple . "We were looking for a piece of land where we can create the life we had always envisioned, and the history of Blue Stallion Farm began, Gany said. It has not been a working farm for 12 years, so there was a lot of work to do, but it was part of their journey.
When Bernals purchased agricultural land, the house, full of character, was a long way from their own style. He felt dark and dated, and part of the floor had to be replaced. Gany and Jimmie worked with Curtis and Ani Spoerlein Studio C designers to redesign most of the rooms, including the kitchen. "They have an artsy, natural approach and are not afraid of color," said Gany. "The results of our work are felt in almost every corner of the property.
'I'm trying to recover and reuse as much as possible, "said Gany. "We had interior doors and kitchen cabinets and bathroom resurfaced. I wanted to mix the family desire for a return to our lifestyle-roots-my love for color, ethnic origin and variety.

"the beauty of life in Southwest Ranches is that you get country living close to town, Gany said. "I will work in the city and return to my life in the country - it is only a 25 minute ride. Here we are a small horse community. There are many horse trails and parks in the area and I can leave the horse farm, and the path around the neighborhood even visit friends in other farms. We are one hour away from Wellington, is equestrian winter capital of the world, and this makes a quick trip to competitions and international A- rated shows.
