Distressed Farm Sideboard

Found this old sideboard, the top veneer was peeling off and was in need of a make over.
Sideboard in need of help
I was inspired by an old farm house, I bead boarded the back, sides, front, and inside. Then I painted the back, sides and part of the front barn red. I also added an old glass door knob as a door pull.
I distressed all the original wood that I painted.
After pulling off all the old veneer I sanded the top back to the natural wood,then I painted it and then sanded it again. I found some old milk decals that I applied and gave it a think coat of poly urethane.
I am so in love at the finished product. It truly looks like it belongs in an old farm house.
