Punched Tin Divider Wall
My daughter uses this in her salon as a divider wall. This was originally a set of doors from an old barn. We removed the glass and had a local heating/cooling company cut sheet metal rectangles to size for us. I printed out some black & white clip art from the internet, and taped the patterns to the sheet metal, then used a spring-loaded center punch to punch the designs.I cut pieces of quarter-round to go around the edge of the holes to keep the sheetmetal in the doors. Then I painted them olive green, and stained over the paint, brushing through before it dried to expose some of the paint underneat. The great part about this was that I was able to punch her salon name in the middle panel. It's definitely one-of-a-kind, and a conversation piece!
