Old Window Gallery Wall

If you've seen my post earlier in the week, you know I have been working on a little project concerning some old windows found in the trash.  You may also remember when I couldn't find my kitchen table because it was buried beneath a whole lot of projects.

Here is the post where everything comes together.  

I am ashamed to say that I have had this unloved wall in my living room for a couple of years. 

That mirror looked so blah, but I could never figure out what to do with this wall. 

That is, until the old windows entered my life.

After painting one old window & adding chicken wire, I then wanted to add a little color.  So I  thought I'd clamp some mason jars onto the chicken wire and fill the jars with flowers.

First:   I couldn't find flowers in the colors I wanted.  Ok, no problem, I'll make some.

Second:  Wouldn't it be more fun if the mason jars were colored?  Ok, I'll paint them.

I still needed something else for this window though.  

Third:   How about if I make a small paper banner?  Ok, I will.

Fourth:  What if, instead of silver glitter, I use German glass glitter?  Perfect excuse to buy some on Etsy! Thank you, Sugar Camp Cottage. 

Wait, there's a problem. 

This window is too narrow to fill this whole wall!

Fifth:  What if I have an old picture of my kids put onto canvas? Canvas 4 Life to the rescue!

Sixth:  What if I add a pop of color with this picture that's been hanging around?  Sure, why not!

Sixth:   What about the other side?  Hmmm, what if  I paint a sign of some sort?



Ok, no more "what ifs" left....would you like to see it all together?

When it was all said and done, I have to be honest, I started giggling.  Yes, giggling with delight. 

Finally that wall has found some much needed ♥ love! ♥

And to think, it all started with an old window found in the trash!
