Red Kitchen Shadow Box Painted Black

February 06, 2012
I have had this shadow box for about 20 years.


It was finished out with a dark country pine stain, no varnish, when I purchased it. The shadow box quickly became a home to my "cutesy country" cows, geese, bunnies, birdhouses, etc. of the early 1990's.


When I went to a vintage country kitchen style, I painted the shadow box red, and antiqued it with a little dark stain.


Here it is at Christmas from my December blog post:


After black paint and a little distressing it looks like this:


Bottom: Nut Grinder, Vintage Cookie Cutters, 5 in 1 Safety Grater, Biscuit Cutter, Decorative Mini Grater (not vintage)
Above: Glass Jar with Pasta, Vintage Cookie Cutter, Rooster Figurine, Barrington Hall Coffee Measurer

Bottom: Cucumber, Mammy, and Tomato S & P Shakers. (only one Mammy)
Above: Progressus Rotary Grater, Vintage Toy Measuring Cup

1776-1976 Bicentennial Souvenir of 1st National Bank of Petersborough and Rumford Biscuit Cutter.


And there it is, a new look for my kitchen shadow box.
