DISTRESSED WINDOW and SHUTTER PROJECT

I am sharing a distressed window/shutter project with wreath made by Elke at www.prairiedesign.... Doing this project was mostly "gathering" for me because I really only had to work on the frame distressing. I used vinegar & steel wool. I soaked the steel wool in the vinegar and rubbed it into the grain. The next day it was weathered. I used Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress paint randomly, let it dry went over it randomly again with the steel wool solution. The rest was just adding things I liked.
