Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Farm House Barn Wood Shelf


Follow along to see how this raw pine shelf was given a barn board finish.


First step was to scrub and let dry.


Staining was the next step. I tested 2 Weatherwood Stains on the back; pining on left and light oaking on right.


Note quite sure I added Varathane's aged wood accelerator on the far left. Which would you choose?


I went with Weatherwood Stains in pining as it was the dark color I wanted for the base.

To get the barn wood finish, Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain and plaster were dry brushed over the dark stained base.


Once dry everything was sanded smooth. Everything was sealed using Weatherwood Stains satin conversion varnish. And as an additional step, Homestead House antiquing wax was brushed on too.
