February Barn Sale

Stylish Patina Barn Sale 

this weekend, February 16 & 17, 10-5.
 4051 Stanford Ct., Frederick, MD

Well, Krista and I finally finished setting up for the February Barn Sale today. We wore gloves, hats, scarves and Krista smartly wore her Uggs. It was a damp cold and we were chilly, but we got 'er done. We've gone with a black and white theme this time, which is weird for us because we usually have a punch of candy color. Doin' the neutral.


We finished all the barn wood hangers. Love this one. It should go on my barn.



Krista repurposed this coffee table into a bench. Love! Use it at the end your bed for all those pillows that your husband hates!

This old pub type sign came from the Hot Shoppe on Wisconsin Ave in D.C. It's authentic and awesome. It could be yours for just $150.

Glass decanters - $20 each. I recently put one in my bathroom (not one of these!) for mouthwash. I have to remember not to swallow it. 

Love this frame. I painted it white, distressed it and put a photo of my Granny Grace in it. She sure was a cutie.

My gold and white fancy lamp with restructured lampshade. Pretty cool.

If you're looking for a more industrial, manly look, grab one of the oil rubbed bronze beauties with the retro 'Edison' bulbs.

The Frilly Vanity...first offered up in natural wood, then it got a water stain from the barn, so it became white. I actually had every intention of painting it white, so my wish came true. It does look so much better. It's yours for $195.

If you are short on glasses, we have plenty this time. These are our Romanesque liquid containers. They have Romans riding in chariots...how great is that?

I do love the retro and these had to be pried out of my arms. I have a thing for small glasses so if these don't sell, I'll be drinking my wine out of them next week!

Crystal wine goblets

ohhhhh! More retro glasses!

These half tables are so darn handy. They fit right up against your wall! How clever is that?!

OK, this is a steal. A large dresser with a mirror for only $125. It's cute, sweet and practical and inexpensive. What more do you want?! When you get it home you can look in its mirror and tell yourself you are a winner for getting such a deal!

We scored this huge oval mirror a couple weeks ago. It was a gaudy gold, so we toned it down with white and now it's just perfect. Put it in your foyer for a quick glimpse of yourself before going out, making sure you don't have spinach in your teeth.

Subtle natural tones

So come on out and get something black or white that you didn't know you needed.

Barnwood and a Repaint


We're using some of the barn wood from I salvaged from our barn makeover last summer.

This is the wood as it was for 80 years, aging nicely.

We cut it up into planks...

to be a backdrop for all these iron hooks and knobs we purchased.

They'll be awesome! Find them at Ginger & Spice Marketplace at at Stylish Patina Barn Sale this month.

Since we got a 'balmy' day of 41 degrees, Krista and I painted a couple pieces that hadn't sold. Krista repainted this Waterfall dresser white (it was a very pale grey).

And I painted the frilly vanity. It will be gorgeous when it's done. 
Will post an after photo.

Lisa lives in the house that is next to the Stylish Patina barn. She goes out picking' and comes back with great stuff. She stores it in her horse trailer right out front. While Krista and I were inside the trailer picking up a cute chair (that will go with the filly vanity), Lisa drove up with a truck load of vintage finds. She didn't even have to load it in her trailer. Right into our truck it went! We each got a wood ladder ...

and I snagged this great shelf/cart thing. It even rolls around! I'll use it next weekend for the Sweetheart Sale at my studio, filled with colorful yarn. Yippee for being in the right place at the right time.
