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?
Case,
ReplyDeleteYOu have a gift. I have no vision and no patience to try for vision. That is darling, I love it and would like you to feel free to add anything to my house. For example, any great ideas on new bathroom deco, my shower curtain is quite hideous. Also, I need to do a room over for a new babe. Feel free to bring forth ideas all peeps.
Sooooo cute Case! And what patience! Can't wait to come see your new place!!
