Wife's Creativity.......

Post by ffuries »

My wife has been on a Farm House decor theme kick, and it shows up in some of her remodel/repairs in the house.

Prior to Michael we had a floating shelf in the dining room, where German Bier Steins were displayed. After the storm I packed them away and told her the shelf was hers to do as she pleases. The Steins will be displayed when the converted garage (Office/Gunroom) is done.

Anyways she found this unpainted Happy Harvest truck, and over the course of two days or so, ended up with this. The rust is actually textured, she gave it a base color (Like an original color) and then painted a different color as if it had been rattle canned or paint brushed a new color later. Looks like a well used and abused farm truck.

Well this is how it turned out, I think she did a pretty awesome job on it......Maybe I'm just biased!

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

NO, and if you ask her to.....Well let's just say, if looks could kill I would have been dead a long time ago.
