Project turned Treasure

I found this wooden heart while hunting for treasures one day. The price was right ($1)and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. I love old cutting/bread boards that have character and this heart was going to resemble just that. This heart was unfinished when I picked it up. I stained it with a golden oak color and let it dry for a few days. Once the heart was dry, I painted the edges with a color called Rookwood Red (which is my new favorite color). I then distressed the edges and re-stained the sanded edges to give it the aged look. Couple coats of poly to finish the heart, and it's ready to find a home in my Valentine's display.
