Weathered Beauties

I fell in love with these vintage lead numbered drawer pulls the moment I discovered them at a garage sale. They were nestled in the back of a drawer.



I love the beautifully weathered surfaces.  I'll be incorporating them into future projects.





Here's a recent project I completed using a salvaged piece of wood, and, vintage weathered hooks.




I transferred this Graphic's Fairy image onto the wood.  No painting on my part. The paint was already there. I just distressed it with some heavy duty sanding.  I cleaned the surface before I transferred the image, and, distressed it a bit more.  Then, I gave it a hand rubbed wax finish.

The vintage hooks were another garage sale find, and, a nice compliment.



I attached hangers on both sides.




I think I'll make a few more of these.

See ya soon.

  3. Great find on those numbered knobs, Rosemary. I know you will come up with some great uses for them. Your board/hanger came out great. It's nice to find something that doesn't need a lot of work beforehand to get the project going.
