Old Windows

A couple of months ago I was on an "old window" kick! I think I bought about 8 in a week and a half...then I got myself under control again!



This is my favorite project. I have a "four season" picture over the bed in my room, and I originally planned to have this quote under it. However, once I got the headboard up, there was no room! So this old window was heaven-sent. A good friend of mine printed up the vinyl for me, and I purchased the wreath at a garden center. My plan is to swap out the wreath for the different seasons.















This was my first attempt at chalkboard paint! This window went to a woman who planned to write her new baby's name on it and hang it over his crib. What a fun idea!

















This is my front porch. I decided it needed something more than dead bugs and old leaves on it! I purchased the bench from a consignment store in Riverdale; it was originally all a pale yellow. I painted it black, with the exception of the sunflower medallions (and they got a little more yellow highlighting). Originally I had one of those big metal stars hanging over the window (which I bought without glass), but last weekend I found this big "B" at an antique store, and it had to come home with me!
