Thanks!

I have many Kreg jigs. If you can only afford one, I’d go with the K4 I used it exclusively for many years and it did everything I needed it to do.

A wonderful transformation! What Kreg jig did you use? I have never used one. I looked online and there are several types.

Hi, the double flowers of the Begonias are male flowers, the female flowers are just single flowers, you’ll notice a wing nut type seed pod below the flower. It’s best to remove the female flowers as this stops them going to seed and give up flowering.

In reply to Barbara.

Barbara,

I painted it with Exterior paint, it’s currently on my porch, out of the weather elements. 🙂 In the future, should it become weathered, I’ll still love it’s chippy charm. 🙂

Cute idea. Do you put any type of weatherproofing on this? I know wet cabinet doors can sometimes have issues?

Catching up on some projects here at MRL… this one perfect!
Love the use of the doors. The Paint technique…I haven’t used the vaseline trick in years…thanks for the reminder on this one.
I like the “just the right amount of distressing” too.
