Window Salvage

Do you ever make something and just can't help smiling when you are done? That is how it was with this project.. I painted random pieces of scrap wood, trim pieces, pallet wood and Bri Waxed the window frame with light brown. The scrap wood and the window frame were free :).

I wasn't sure how much I needed, just painted what I thought might work. None of the scrap pieces I had were long enough to go across the whole window so I knew I would have to cut them into sections.

The next thing I had to decide was how to attach the wood to the very narrow interior window strips. This problem led to the happy solution of running the wood in opposite directions. I used the nail gun to attach the pieces, had to shoot straight and did miss you a few, but only a few.

This really is a relatively simple project and so fun to see it come together!

    Becky L If you used a varity of small lettering brushes and added titles on each scrap piece it would look like stacks of antique Books...LOL it's really cool without that...but what can I say, I never follow a recipe I don't change just a bit, or a sewing pattern that I don't add or take away from...I can't help myself really...
