The Stylish Patina Barn (and giveaway)

I’ve mentioned my friend (picker and sponsors as well), Kelly of Stylish Patina, in the past.  She is a gal who has decided to follow her passion for treasure hunting and turn it into a business.  Kelly currently sells out of two locations, including The Foundry  just outside of Washington, DC.  She’s now gone a step further and is starting a barn sale.  Wow, right?

The Stylish Patina Barn is having its grand opening Nov 18,19,20 from 10-5pm in Frederick, MD (address is below.)  Not only does it look like a great place to shop, but there will be food and things to keep the rest of the family entertained while you do your thing.

The barn will featire a wonderful eclectic mix of styles and pieces that are ready to use as is and some bargains that need some work (for people like me.)  You will also be able to purchase Annie Sloan Chalk Paint there!  Here are some of the great dealers Kelly rounded up…

Celeste from Catfish Creative Furnishings
Celeste is the woman that brought Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (ASCP) to the D.C. Metro Area! She will have an Annie Sloan booth filled with paint for you to purchase while asking her questions about how best to use the paint on your projects at home. She will also be registering for her upcoming seminars where you can learn how to become a ASCP pro. Celeste also has a booth at On A Whim in Lucketts. Learn more here www.catfishcreativefurnishings.com.

Kathy from Vignettes
Kathy you may know from her many years as a dealer at On A Whim in Lucketts or from her debut on the Nate Berkus Show! We feel lucky that Kathy is taking a little time away from her interior design business to get back into sharing her fabulous style with us at The Barn! You can follow Kathy through her blog All About Vignettes.

Sarah Jean & Co
Sarah and Katherine are two talented gals from the Purceville area. You may know Sarah Jean from her shop she had in Lincoln, Va., from her booth at the Lucketts Fair over the past few years or from her spot at It’s Bazaar on 21st Street. Follow Saran & Katherine through Facebook to see what these girls are up to!

 

 

For the holidays they will have tons of vintage christmas ornaments and other wonderful items for holiday decorating and gift items such as fabulous costume jewelry, vintage hand bags, european handbacks, candles and more!

 

To celebrate the occassion, Kelly is having a giveaway for a $100 gift card to Williams Sonoma AND a $50 gift card to Stylish Patina (where you can buy ASCP online.) Pretty nice giveaway, huh?  Here’s how to enter…

  410. WOW.Wish I was in that area to see.Florida isn’t to big on this refinished look. Can’t find a barn sale to save my life here.And when they have a antique event ,it really means antiques. Hope to win.Have a wonderful day.

  411. Would love to be able to use some ASCP! There is no retailer in my area, so have never given it a try!

  422. I tried to follow the Stylish Patina website, but it said the follower was set up incorrectly….. I became a subscriber instead. Does that count?

  428. I would love some chalk paint! I am amazed at how quickly it’s swept the blog world; must be an awesome product. Thanks for offering the giveaway 🙂

  430. I so wish I could bring a big truck out there, fill it up and bring it back to California with me. I do have three benches that my father made for me that need the ASCP treatment.

  432. Wow! I love everything pictured! I wish I still lived near DC! I hope I win – I’ll make the trip!

  471. And I sure would LOVE to win the gift cards because I have many pieces of furniture that need to be painted:)

  474. Winning this would hopefully get me out of my perennial planning phase so that I could actually accomplish something on my “to do’ list!

  478. LOVE it all. Just wished I lived close by to come and visit, buy, and enjoy. Don’t know of any places down here in the bootheel to find items like those. Have a wonderful open house. Just a thought–“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

  479. I can’t wait to try ASCP. Just bought some Old White but I’m afraid to use it. Still working up the courage.

  487. Yummy, this looks like a fun shop, wish i lived closer. please enter me, I found the blog and the FB pages too. Excellent.

  638. I am itching to try chalk paint and making some Christmas presents would be the ultimate for playing with some..I would soooo love to be chosen…pretty, pretty please!! 🙂

  649. I want that figurine that’s barely in the first photo on the left bottom! Looks mysterious since I can only see the top part of it.

  655. Gorgeous items. I would love to have many of them. I already liked them on facebook, and am a follower of their blog now. Would love to try some of the Annie Sloan paint as I’m always painting something around our house.

  669. I’m on the wrong coast! I wish I could be there, but I’m sending well wishes. Another person following her bliss. Fantastic! Many congratulations, and much success!

  767. Oh how I wish I could make another roadtrip up there to come to the barn sale!! And this is an amazing giveaway 🙂

  777. OMGoodness, Why O why do I live in Louisiana?!?!?!?!? I want to live up in your area with all the cool places to shop. But most of all because no one around here likes the look of the items you and your friends sell. What do you suppose is WRONG with them???? I own a decorating business and my house is totally like yours. I LOVE THIS LOOK, but the peps here in central Louisiana are TRADITIONAL all the way. I can’t get them to budge. They are so missing out. Maybe some day I’ll make a “road trip” 🙂
    Blessings and Hugs! Dawn
