Paintin them would hurt em,everybody has different taste and it don't matter what I did somebody wouldn't like it.This county was the largest tob producer in the state back in the day so the locals don't get it either.

Because wall decorations from Pinterest. Sprinkle around the words "authenticity" and "curated" and you're in the club.

You forgot the big ones "primitive" and "repurposed".They are putting stuff in high $$ homes now that were takin out of barns and replaced 20 years ago.I talked to a guy from around Hickory that was sellin old furniture carts for $150.Said he had bought 1000 of em and had about 200 left.He had sold that many in a years time.

Had the honor of seeing this when I went to pick up my welder last week. The mans father I bought from had made this he was a 40+ year welder I was told and the wheel on bottom dropped down so it could be rolled around! His son told me he was sheet metal worker so his dad build it for him to use! Pretty cool if ya ask me!

Nice carefully distressed paint job. Paint blue, add sandpaper, profit. Reminds me of the fake patina paint jobs that add $10k to the price of an otherwise stock old truck. Too regular, too even, not random enough. Normal wear and tear doesn't have regular patterns.
 
The clock on top of that cabinet is antique though. It was a wedding gift to my grandmother from her father in law who collected old clocks. She gave It to my wife and I before she passed. It works but the hands aren't attached to the clock mechanism anymore. Need to find someone to fix it.
