I think you are seeing a different tone in the beige that is off from the fabulousness of the doors. Keep trying fabrics, the world is full of colors! LOL. And it might be an excuse for a trip to a shop. Or do an overdye on the beiges. Yea, overdye, that's it.<br />Glen QuiltSwissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663112676927847239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766891572053927127.post-75418833764182149142017-07-13T18:23:52.493-04:002017-07-13T18:23:52.493-04:00I'm thinking mix up the 3 pieces of "wood...I'm thinking mix up the 3 pieces of "wood" to the left of the center doors. Use some of the wood in the second picture with the wood of the third picture...kind of like Julie suggested. I'm afraid if you do a lot of thread painting on the beige wood it will require more thread painting on the rest of the barn.<br />Judy in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663734488593757109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766891572053927127.post-26637052115716840492017-07-13T17:13:40.183-04:002017-07-13T17:13:40.183-04:00I just watched a Quilting Arts rerun where they pa...I just watched a Quilting Arts rerun where they painted fabric with pens and/or acrylic dyes. Would that help the beige? It may need a color not yet in stores- something softer to look weathered. Im no expert on dyes though.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766891572053927127.post-61473333497786092162017-07-13T12:16:25.378-04:002017-07-13T12:16:25.378-04:00It's possibel that to get the effect you want ...It's possibel that to get the effect you want you may have to go "plank by plank." Part gray, part beige. Time consuming, but it could be the best way.

So I don't think his barn is going to get a coat of paint any time soon.

That would allow you to recreate the multiple wood colors using a variety of fabrics from your stash.
