I'm a little late in sharing about the holiday barn sales we went to before Christmas.
Alyse captured this picture of Mom and I making a trip to the car with our treasures! Alyse, my brother's fiancé, is from Florida and had never experienced a barn sale. She loved it! She, too went home with some treasures.
I usually go into these barn sales with nothing specific in mind and excitement about the one of a kind pieces I end up finding. This time I had some specific things I was looking for! I was hoping to find antlers, candle holders and a piece of furniture to use for a TV stand. Below I included inspiration pictures along with the barn finds!

I was so excited to find reasonably priced candle holders that reminded me of the ones in the inspiration picture. I knew they would look great on our farm table!
Here are the candle holders in a picture of our table from the Christmas Home Tour.

As you know I love antlers! I know! I know! More antlers!
Can you see the antlers on the wall in our living room from the Christmas Tour? It's not a great picture but you get the idea.

Barn Find
I have been looking for something specific to use as a TV stand. We have a unique space for our TV and I've had to be patient with the search. I knew it would take time to find what I had envisioned. I found this cedar chest at Hope Timber. We weren't planning on stopping at Hope Timber because we were on our way to another barn, but I took an unexpected turn and we ended up at the stop sign by Hope Timber. I call that a sign from God! It didn't take long to find this gem! I knew I wouldn't keep the cherry finish and could see it becoming a lot like the stand in the inspiration picture. Now don't get me wrong, cherry finish is beautiful it's just a bit formal for me. I like a more rustic farm look. It's now finished and in our living room. We love how it turned out. I'll be posting about it soon!
