old bead board retrieved from the basement of building...
i couldn't have made it look more random and aged if i'd tried...
a little muriatic acid on new tin does the trick!
after hours and hours of grubbin' around in the basement for old lumber, scrubbing off 100 years of dirt and grime, the front of the store is finally complete. well almost, the front doors patiently await their 'lipstick'...a nice coat of barn red paint. we ran across an old door with several men's names and dates from the 20's-30's. just for fun, i looked one up on ancestry.com and found his occupation to be, what else...a miner. oh, if these walls could talk!
