Progress

My favorite project lately has been an old-timey flour bin.  It had a light oak finish on it, so I sanded it down and painted it, then distressed it.  It has a "metal" funnel and lid on a drawer.  (not sure on the historically accurate description of this, but I think it's a potato bin?  If you know please send me a message!) 
Anyway, after looking at this incredible artisan's work, I contacted her about creating the metal look on the funnel and lid.  She gave me great advice, and even though I can't compare with her expertise, I did it! 
The finishing touched are yet to be added to this piece of history.  I still want to make up my mind about drawer pulls, and I have ordered wallpaper for it as well.
