My Long Awaited Window Project!

Have you seen old windows being used in home decor? Well years ago, my friend in Arizona found an old window and made it into a beautiful frame.

Ever since then, I have been dying to make a similar project. I hadn't been looking too hard until lately. My mom was in Rexburg and told me she was going to a flea market of sorts. I told her to look out for an old window.

Lucky for me she found this one!

Here it is at the beginning.

I gave it a quick sand and then painted it
with some left over paint from my bathroom.


Next, I sanded it again.

I sanded it just enough to let the wood show in some places.

Next came the glazing. Glazing or staining always makes me nervous!

Here it is after I glazed it. Looking so good!

The only downside was there was no glass. I went to Lowe's and had some custom glass cut, which was reasonably priced, I thought.

I have been seeing lots of different types of subway art. I wanted to put something family oriented in one of the openings.

I found this free and cute printable from Pinterest.
Side note.....have you checked out Pinterest? Love it!

I love the way it turned out! I just want to keep looking at it. Also, part of what makes it so beautiful, are the pictures that my neighbor took! Love the way they look in here!
