I'm looking for what I call country rustic. Old barn wood, hutches, butcher blocks, etc. What style would that be called? I have an antique hutch that is a burnt red color with very little dull yellow and black showing through due to age. I would like to match my washroom doors pretty similar to the hutch. Please assist me in the technique. I am very new to these types of procedures but am very interested in learning.Than you in advance for your assistance. God Bless. Micki Bowman
