This vintage icebox was covered with thick red paint when it was brought to me.\u00a0 After much discussion the owner chose to have it professionally stripped.\u00a0 When it was paint free we found this gorgeous wood underneath so we scrapped the original plans to paint it an all-over color, opting just to embellish it.\u00a0 We chose a woodland theme with critters, wild flowers and other flora.\u00a0 Where I could, I used the wood grain as part of my design, see how the there are rings of ‘water’ near the Loon?\u00a0 The Pine cone and Maple seeds are painted in Trompe L’oeil\u00a0 style but the latch and hinges are real. I painted one of my favorite wild flowers, Blue Chickory,\u00a0 climbing up the sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
