Drab to Fab


It all started when I found this ugly door in our serial killer room in Kansas. (If you haven't heard about our serial killer room, it was sweet!) So I asked Caleb if he could take the door part off the window pane part. I wanted to make something cute out of it, and Caleb thought I was crazy, but obliged me.


There was more to it than you might think. It took some time to pry these babies apart, especially since there were about 5 coats of paint sticking them together like glue.


We hauled this ugly window pane with us to St. George. Then I got working on it. I had to knock out the glass, and chip away and the wood pieces holding it in place.


After all that, I sanded, primed (a lot) and painted it. It took many coats of paint since I couldn't sand down all that ugly green. Plus, when I thought I was getting rid of the green, there was all this red paint underneath it.


Here is a pic of my final product. Caleb told me later that he was impressed since he didn't think that ugly thing could turn out looking that great! (that is quite a compliment coming from a guy that doesn't care about decoration stuff at all.)


This is another view of the cute rose wreath I made. I love it! It took about 1 million hours to make, but at least I now have one cute thing hanging in my house.


A close-up of the wreath. Turned out pretty good, eh?
