Distressed Charm

Hunting & Gathering

While trolling Pinterest to create that perfect inspo board, you’ve surely come across those trendy DIY projects featuring effortlessly distressed mason jars, side tables and chairs. However, don’t immediately balk at the supposed difficulty— the way to achieve this look is closer than imagined: think Sarasota’s own Rustic Rooster.

Use the hue of your choice to spruce up plain walls, or even dab it on a dresser to create a more shabby-chic feel through your house. One thing is for sure, if you have been contemplating whether or not to try out that chalky paint project you saw on Pinterest, now is the time.
