Weathered Tin Ceiling Panels

There are so many interesting ways to use vintage tin panels. I made this message board from some old panels we found (actually dug up!) in the woods where we had found some old bottles! I cleaned them up and sprayed them with a clear finish to preserve the remaining old paint. I just made a simple frame from 1" x 2" pine and nailed the panels to it. It works great for design ideas above my sewing machine and is just wide enough to display my old spools of silk thread!
