However the red paint rewetted the black distress stain, mixed and melted, and became a gorgeous finish that mimics mahogany or, when observing from a few inches away, dark oiled leather.
Neat, huh?
Another cool thing that is fun to point out: The key is embedded in a hole I custom cut. So, the key is the drawer pull.

The question is did you know that would be the effect the pint wouldhave on the distress ink or was it a happy accident? Either way it looks brilliant as does your very unique drawer pull. hugs Mrs A.
