But it’s more what I’m looking for to add character and stand out against my crisp new paint job.. Here’s how I worked my magic!.
Here’s how we did it!.We started out with a barn..
I need to let you know right now, that we don’t actually own this barn.It’s behind our house, but all the land on the other side of the creek is owned by a big German company who leases it out to local farmers.No one uses this barn anymore and because of that, it’s fallen into a little bit of disrepair in the last few years.
Word on the street is that this barn is probably actually about 100 years old, and was built by ship-builders, so it has a lot of really interesting and pretty construction inside.. We used a few different components of the barn in our beverage center, as well as some new pine boards from The Home Depot.The big chunky legs are just pieces of roof support that had blown off with a big section of the roof last year..
The counter top for the beverage center as well as the skirting around the top came from some of the siding that has been blown off.
Actually, that siding has been used in quite a few projects around here, and also in the homes of a lot of the neighbors.We actually made these quite a while ago, so no pictures of the process!
You can see that the construction is pretty simple from the back though.I painted the front to make them look weathered using a bunch of different random paints that I had on hand at the time..
I combined the two elements to make one big farmhousy piece of art for the wall!.….I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean so don’t ask.
