Flea Markets,
Thrift Stores,
Garage Sales,
Roadside Trash,
these are a few of my favorite
shopping venues.
Robin has another place -
her barn.
Nothing like a good old barn goody rescued.
Before,
it was the old dingy brown
and had some cut scallop detail
around the doors.
I pictured something more straight line cottage style
so I framed out the door edges with flat wood trim.
Sprayed the interior with
Metallic Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Based the exterior with a honey colored tan.
Used lots of clear glaze on my brush,
and then used a mix of three colors
for the top "brush on" brown.
I used faux tin tile inserts.
Glass will go in the top two doors.
The new hardware and tin tile
tie in with the oil rubbed bronze interior.
Now the country charm
comes indoors.
Blessings,
Deb

What a GREAT idea to get rid of details that interfere with getting straight, simple lines...framing them out!!! Genius! I also love the idea of painting the inside with ORB paint to give an old piece a fresh (but not too "new" look) start. I saw your post over at "No Minimalist Here" blog party.
Deb I love the tin inserts and the "aged" look you gave this piece. Gorgeous!! Thank you so much for sharing at Redoux.
