I hope that you all had a wonderful Halloween!
Our little Maddie Grace celebrated her 1st Halloween & loved trick-or-treating in her big bow and tutu!

We also enjoyed a small intimate family dinner before all of the candy chaos!
Being that this week has been crazy full of just about everything possible, my blogging has been put on the back burner... But I am back to share with you my favorite finds of the week & soon many will be available for sale!
I have been working hard on my line of vintage finds and furniture-redo's called Blue Barn Interiors. I have now opened an Etsy Shop where you can find select items that I have featured on my blog that are now available for purchase, along with my vintage finds! Visit the Blue Barn Interiors Faceboook Page or Blog to find my newest furniture re-do's that will be available for purchase as well (on a first come, first serve basis) For now, here are some of the finds from this week that are soon to be painted and will be ready to find good homes!
Thanks for stopping by & keep checking back for some Thanksgiving DIY projects that are soon to come!
This week has been a busy one...
most of it has been spent filling orders and working on furniture pieces
so sadly, I only have one find to share this Friday...
This adorable country kitchen table that I picked up for only $50 bucks! Yes, all of it!
(don't mind the horrible picture... I havn't had time to take one myself so this is from the seller)
My plans are to:
paint the chairs
with Annie Sloane - Duck Egg Blue & add in Annie Sloane - Old White
to create this beautiful color
The table (which also comes with a leaf extension) will be re-painted in Old White
This will be my first time using Annie Sloane Chalk Paint, so wish me luck!
Keep checking back for pictures of the project in progress...
After this piece is finished it will be for sale (locally) through my Facebook page
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Ok, so if anyone has been wondering where I have been... I have been finishing up some custom orders that I desperately needed to get done, so I have been a bit behind on my blogging the past few days! I am busy writing up a tutorial for another DIY pillowcase which I will be posting tonight...
To update all of you on what else I have been working on...
Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I am a Craigslist addict
& love searching through antique stores and small local shops.

(Jennifer Price Studio - SoLo Solana Beach)
Here in Southern California we have so many local shops where local artists can display and sell their creations. Turning their hobbies & talents into a business. One of the best things that I love about San Diego and all of it's small little beach towns is searching through their local collaborative stores such as SoLo - Solana Beach where I found an amazing booth put together by designer Jennifer Price - Studio.
I was overwhelmed with all of her amazing finds & would have loved to buy the whole store quite frankly! But instead I walked away with these adorable little state flash cards. One for my Husband's home state (South Carolina) & one for my family's home state (Oklahoma).
& I loved these wooden numbered tags from Jennifer Price as well... I'm thinking I may have to go back and get a few for our Christmas tree this year!
Next, as I was walking up towards the front of the store to check out, I came across a rack of beautiful printed wrapping papers. This one caught my eye and I loved that it looked like an old vintage chalkboard so I quickly snatched it up with a vision to frame it for our home. I think it is perfect for Fall and can use it to change up our decor for "back to school" in the future ;)
If you have never had the pleasure of visiting Cedros Design District in Solana Beach,
I highly suggest that you do! It is a small and quaint little street located just 1/2 mile from the beach, filled with tons of shops and delicious restaurants.

(Leaping Lotus - Solana Beach)
(This booth was amazing! Filled with adorable handmade beach-y frames)
After our shopping trip at SoLo, I headed across the street to Leaping Lotus. Another collaborative artist store, where I picked up this metal "C" monogram letter for $3 & a birdcage card display for $25
Our last stop for the day was the Antique Warehouse. This is one of my favorite & frequently visited locations for many of my finds. There are rows and rows of vendors. It takes a lot of searching, but I always walk away with something. This weeks take-away was this old book, for $4 (top book) which fits perfectly in with the rest of my decor colors!
Another one of my major addictions is Craigslist.com & PendletonYardSales.com (or) Bookoo.com
This is where I find all of my major furniture pieces that I re-finish.
This week's finds are:
Coffee Table $25
Side Table/ Nightstand $15
Trunk/ Chest $10
Entry Table: $35 & Coffee Table: $10
Entry Table: $35 & Coffee Table: $10
Nightstand $10
Keep posted for further before & after pictures of ALL these great finds!
