This old barn is located near Isle of Wight, Virginia, about 15 miles from us. It’s close enough to the highway that I could take these pictures without Motor Man pulling over.
Here’s a rear view. I don’t recall ever seeing a blue barn before. It’s painted the same color as the nearby house.

Oh I quite like the blue barn with the “complimentary” red doors……I’ve never seen a “sky colored” barn before either……nice!

Must have had paint left over! Nice shade of blue though – and I like that design of the barn. We have quite a few of that type in our area.
Very spesial and nice barn, you cant fint somting like that in Norway!

A blue barn is a little unusual…left over paint from the house is probably right…at least, they match!!
i’m use to blue homes but barns not to much. great find. (:
Love the doors! We have some blue barns and we have a huge horse farm on our way to the kinda Big City that is all blue with black fencing. It is a little sad looking but blue. You have a charming barn there Dianna and it looks like it is in use!
they must have had a big sale on blue paint!
I kinda like the color…it matches the beautiful blue sky!
cute little thing.
What a sweet looking barn. It’s quite charming that it matches the house and sky. Neat! 🙂
Here in MI I haven’t seen a blue barn usually it is red. Great find for barn charm. Thanks for sharing.

A barn of a different color?? You’ve stumped me here; can’t say I ever remember seeing this one before !
This is a cute little blue barn! It’s fun to see all the different shapes and color barns all over the country.
What a cute little barn! I haven’t seen many blue barns either!
It is a wonderful little blue barn!
I love the blue color! Who says your barn has to be red!
Now this blue makes it a very charming barn! Unusual for sure!
That is definitely an unusual color for a barn!
I’ve always loved barns. When I was growing up, every summer we drove from our home in Connecticut to visit my grandparents in Dayton, Ohio. Along the highway we always looked for two things: the Brill Cream signs and the big red barns painted with “Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco.”
You found a barn owner that’s not afraid to be original–or maybe there was a deal on blue paint! Most farmers are known for thriftiness, aren’t they?
I’ve never seen a blue barn before, either. Nice though. And, I think the door is a dark red or am I seeing that wrong. I’ve never noticed this barn before even though I’ve been through Isle of Wight many times.
I see from the other comments I’m not the only one who hasn’t seen a blue barn before. I wonder if there is a reason barns are so often painted red? Maybe so they’ll stand out in bad weather? Or maybe cows can see red better than other colors?! ~ Sheila
I like a blue barn for a charge. Of course that might be because I love the color blue!!
