We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel that was supposed to be finished before Christmas. It didn’t happen, but I know the wait will be worth it, and I will share my farmhouse kitchen with you soon!
The remodel included new molding around the ceiling and floor, new wooden floor, sheetrock and ceiling. I noticed one day, the workers were piling up the molding to carry to the landfill. Whoa!, hold on there, I can use that! I heard my husband say, “I was afraid she would notice that”. He knows me well.
I got up this morning and saw the molding on the deck. I’ve been working a lot lately, and haven’t had anytime to craft. I gathered up a piece of molding, a sample of red paint I had purchased, and a box of junk pieces.
I gave the piece of molding two coats of red paint. Red is a re-occurring color in my Farmhouse Kitchen, and in other rooms. I love the barnwood red color. This is just the first coat.
I then sanded the corners and edges to give it a worn look.
I found a couple of heavy metal hooks that were perfect for hanging items.
Attached them with a screwdriver and screws.
An old kitchen strainer was added and now I have a great farmhouse kitchen sign I can use for mugs, keys, pot holders or a towels.
