Chandler & Co. Antique Barn Sale
A few weeks back, my girlfriend attended this antique barn sale and texted me a few photos of the inspiration she was discovering at Chandler & Co’s antique barn sale at 13 Circuit Road in Berwick, Maine. Owned by Elaine and Gary Chandler, who are fabulous, friendly, and ready to make a deal!
Just look at this red budget-friendly trunk my girlfriend brought home with her!

Take a walk around this bargain-friendly antique barn sale with me:
Barn Sale Vintage Haul
Antique Baby Shoe
I found my second baby shoe in a new collection that I recently started when I found these Adidas baby sneakers for our bookshelves at home in Vermont.
It is leather with pearl buttons for the budget-friendly price of just $8. It’s simply darling.
Barn Sale Table
I couldn’t resist this antique pine side table. The wood is fabulous in character and only cost me $40.
What is it about old pine wood that always has me swooning? I can’t resist it…
Baskets & A Pink Toleware Tray
My two little vintage haul piles turned into one with some baskets and a terrific Toleware pink tray.
I’ve often seen these vintage Toleware trays in black or red but never in pink, so I had to snag one.
The blue basket is a vintage bicycle basket.
The brown one is a vintage berry-picking basket. I collect old berry baskets whenever I can afford them. They are so darling for displaying almost anything!
On the way home, I stopped at a local roadside stand and picked up 3 bouquets of wildflowers to decorate the baskets and table with. One marvelous arrangement was garlic and dill mixed in with one large sunflower. It smelled so good, I could eat it, literally!
The mood of these photos really describes the weather we have been having this summer. It was a dark and rainy day outside, but it was great for browsing antique barn sales.
Antique Barn Sale Decorating
Vintage Side Table
I found a cute little spot for the antique table in our living room and the bouquet of flowers I picked up at the farm stand.
A basket filled with small pinecones rests on the bottom shelf.

Berry-Picking Basket
This old berry-picking vintage basket is cute for holding flowers or a few favorite home decor accessories.
Or maybe in a bathroom with some detergent, hand towels, or the like?
Pink Toleware Tray
The pink Toleware tray landed nicely on our sunroom’s glass tabletop. I love the pink hue that this tray adds to our light and bright room, and it pulls nicely from the soft pinks in the vintage blue rug underneath.
In the Fabulous Vintage Hutch Makeover post, you may also enjoy seeing more of the hutch in the background. And we can’t forget about this Green Chippy Apothecary Cabinet, which came before it.
Blue Bicycle Basket
Last but not least, this adorable bargain-friendly blue bicycle basket is now cozy on our inside front door, bursting with green ivy. I’ll be able to change the basket’s contents on a seasonal whimsy, too. Maybe pumpkins in the fall and evergreens and red berries for the holidays.

Ella had ACL surgery two weeks ago now and got her sutures out just yesterday. She is doing very well. She is a little hobbly but comfortable and a rock star of a patient, which really surprised us… Thank you so kindly for all your thoughtful messages; she read every single one of them:)

I adore the table, what a great find!
Thank you Deborah, I’m so glad, we love it too!
Oh my. My heart beat a little faster at the sight of the pine stand. I live in Ohio and I can never find anything like that. I am only finding oak furniture. Everything looks lovely.
I’m so glad you liked it Kathy. I just love old pine furniture too. So much character!
I think the “side table” is actually a wash stand.
Hi Anne I think so too😃
