Artist Sally Jacobs took one look at a decaying livery stable in downtown Shelby, N.C., and immediately had a vision for the home she wanted to create. Jacobs wanted a space that was full of color, texture and whimsy.

The 1908 stable and buggy stand was a sort of taxi stand of its day. Architect Roger Holland helped Jacobs convert the 4,000-square-foot stable into a home and studio, using a barn door to connect the building's two spaces. The central hallway runs through the space once filled with horse stalls. Creative touches in the house include walls without ceilings, a floor made of an old rodeo poster and bright blue and yellow walls.
