Old faded chipped and cracked.



Faded chipped and cracked probably best describes my poor old winter skin.

I love this one, it is like a symphony of colours to me.

I could frame this and look at it on the wall.

There is a lot to be said for faded, chipped and cracked methinks.

  2. beautiful. i agree, something about 'distressed' paint is more interesting than a perfectly painted piece. maybe as humans we feel like being 'distressed' shows the piece has experienced life much like we have? i dunno :)

  7. I cannot begin to list the hours I spent scraping off old paint and applying new. I love this look and wish I had saved, not only my time, but the pieces I striped.

  8. A symphony of colours ... I love that! I too could look at those doors on the wall (sounds a bit back to front, doesn't it ;-)
