this birdhouse belonged to my grandparents for a long time before it came to live with us. it finally gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service, but i kept the top because i thought i could use it for something.

this red color is just not working for me. i want to use the wood to mount 3 sand dollars on for hanging in my bedroom, which is turquoise, brown, with pops of pink and orange.
so, can i do anything to make it work?

now, i could probably live with this beautiful chippy paint, but what can i do to keep more from chipping off?
i've heard something about using some kind of wax, but no one ever mentions what kind of wax and how they use it.
help!

this birdhouse wood is so beautifully weathered, and i'm dying to use it to mount some sand dollars on, but the color is just not working for me, and i don't want paint chipping everytime i move it, or risk a splinter every time i touch it.
is there anything i can do to change the color but not lose the weathered appearance? and how can i keep those chips from flaking off?
i'd really appreciate any help or ideas you could give!
