Creating a Rustic Lodge Style Cupboard

My new business venture, RusticLady is both a retail location in The English Village Mall in Brookings, Oregon along with the name being a redirect to my Winchuck River Store website Creating a new image of myself took a bit of work on my part. Above is the wooden sign I made. I will use it as a logo along with hanging it in my new retail area. My husband used his router to round off the edges I painted the board a deep salmon color painted on a layer of crackle medium a top coat of beige was the last coat I used a putty mix with a stencil of aspen leaves to place two leaves on the sign. I then kept painting the leaves with copper glaze, green and yellow and then a dry brush of the beige to soften the look. I had aspen leaf drawer pulls and a garden tool drawer pull that I screwed into the board making sure that they were not evenly spaced. I wanted a random loose almost thrown together look a rustic sign is the end result. The black trim in the picture is only for the image to help it pop Now for the big job of painting my vintage pantry cupboard. I removed the doors filled most of the random screw holes from years of use sanded it well using my most loved palm sander painted the complete cupboard the deep salmon color put on a coat of crackle medium after the crackle was dry, a coat of soft tan I then took some putty mix and a stencil for aspen leaves and added a row of them down each side of the cupboard. They took more than 24 hours to dry! I then coated them with copper glaze with dark stain and then a dry brush of the same color of the cupboard's top coat.
