I've got Window Panes on my Brain.

Pin It

       There is something so unique about old window panes.  I am absolutely in love with the look of the cracked paint and wood and I am fortunate enough to have access to some windows. So here is how I used them to give my room a little bit of vintage flair!

      I had to clean them up a bit and I was ecstatic because I was able to use some power tools

:)

First I pressure washed them and then after they dried I used an orbital sander to get the rest of the junk off.

      I was planning on painting them some more colors but the white and brown ended up being perfect for the color scheme of my room.



The sihouette paintings that you see were done with the same watercolor technique that I described here.  It is an easy painting project that almost always turns out beautiful :)

Birdcages Can be Cool

If you are ever stuck with an ugly birdcage, have no fear! Just clean it up and turn it into a pretty display case ;)

I made a run to Goodwill today after being inspired by this cool wall art at A Beautiful Mess.  I will post a DIY here because I want to write it in Spanish (and show off my art too hehe).

~*~*~*~

Hoy fui al Goodwill porque estaba inspirar de art muro a A Beautiful Mess. Voy a poner un DIY aqui porque quiero escribirlo en Espanol (y porque quiero mostrar mi art tambien).

No tengo mi computadora (necesito usar el de mi mama por ahora) y por eso no puedo usar los acentos. Lo siento!!

See the DIY after the jump!
