So the other night I managed to score 7 old windows for a mere $20, these windows are OLD, according to the older gentleman I purchased them from, around 80 years old. I've been dying to try some new projects using old windows, thanks to Pinterst haha So today, the sun was shining, and I figured, what better way to spend some " Me " time than tackle a project lol
This was so easy, so simple, and wow did it turn out AMAZING!
These are the windows before and after :)
First I used a compressor to blow away as much dirt, grime, and old flaked paint as possible from the window, then gave it a good wash down. After taping everything off really well I used a chalk board spray paint that can be purchased at any home improvement store ( cost was $6 )
It took a few coats, and I had to keep holding it up to the light to make sure it was thoroughly covered, but I eventually got it just right :)
After everything dried I pulled off the painters tape and using a white acrylic, to match the window, I touched up any areas that needed it.... Wasn't much to touch up, I was going for the really rustic, shabby/chic look so I wanted to keep it as natural looking as possible :)
I'm actually quite impressed at how it turned out, haha, and it really goes to show that anyone is capable of pulling off projects, and doing them on a budget :)
Now to get the hubby to actually hang it for me.......lol
