About 6 months ago I was given an old window. It had rusty mesh in between the panes, which I knew needed a change, but it took me up until now to figure out just what I wanted to do with it. I must admit, my husband was awesome. He helped me carefully take it apart to get the mesh out and replace it with chicken coop wire. I LOVE how it turned out.
I cleaned it up a bit, but I left the paint as-is. I wanted the aged look. I also spray-painted my coop wire a brownish-gold color. It really is hard to tell, but I just didn't want the wire such a shiny silver. I am excited to hang things from the chicken coop wire, depending on the season or my mood!
I also added these knobs. My husband was against the knobs, but I really wanted them. I bought some cheap brass knobs from Hobby Lobby. Then I painted them. I used a teal color and brown. I just kind of mixed the paint as I went. Then once they were dried I sanded them down a little. I think they turned out great.
I am so happy with the finished product. Too bad it took me so long to figure out what to do with it!
Cool! Where did u get the idea for this?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had seen similar projects floating around blogworld. I thought it would be great to also be able to hang pictures or fun things, so that is why I added the little knobs. So I guess I got the idea from a conglomerate of places.
