Store display
Here is the finished display piece that I teased a photo of the other day.
Starting with some inspiration from the world wide web I headed to a nearby flea market to gather some time worn supplies. Once the dust settled from digging through the piles of Linda's treasures I had found the perfect items for this project. An old door with the lower corner missing where some critters had chewed through, a pair of louvered closet doors and an old church pew with cracked paint along with a few other finds were stacked besides the truck waiting for a deal to be struck. As soon as the money changed hands the truck was loaded and I was on my way back the shop.
After a quick stop at Lowes for a few more supplies I was at the shop and work began. The church pew was dismantled and the wood was used on the sides of the door and for the deck of the "porch". The closet doors make up the end walls and some rusty tin from my stash of goodies finished off the roof. I had to make the shelves from new wood but with some paint work and added distressing they blend in nicely with the older items.
With the help of my wife Anna and two friends Chris and Steven the new display is in place and stocked full of items ready for purchase. A big thank you goes out to them for taking time out of their day to help me get this in place and ready to go.
