Old Radiator Cover - New Purpose
An old radiator cover without a purpose, gets a new purpose as a lighted entryway console.
The radiator cover in its original state.
Spray Painted black and slightly distressed
Burlap was stapled to the inside. You could use any fabric, but for lighting purposes it should be sheer.
Strings of lights were added along the frame.
The back was then covered to have a finished look. Even though you don't see it, I like things finished properly.
What a lovely site in the evening... although these pictures were taken during the day, the evening glow from this piece is really stunning.
Decorate with all your favorite things.
