Old Windows – New Love

$3.00
2 Hours
Easy
This is going to be a relatively easy project, but I just had to share this easy project with you. And when I say easy…I really mean it. Even more important, other than windows, you probably have everything else laying around your home and if you are like me, you may even have old windows.
These are the pictures that were on the wall before the change. There were two – one on each side of the entry into the dining room. Not bad, right? I wish you could actually see the picture up close and personal. It’s African American art of an old country church with folks walking to the church on what I am assuming is Sunday morning. I assume it’s Sunday because of the way they are dressed. The background is a Tuscan burgundy and a bit dark but the picture is still one of my favorites. But, it was time for a change. 
In my last post, I sort of gave you a peek at the change in the dining room. So let’s get this party started (today is my birthday, thus the reference to partying). If you have been with me for a minute, you know that I love switching things up in my dining room, and over the years, it has changed quite a bit. Everything has changed except for the pictures on the wall. They have been the same for at least six or moe years. Yes, I know that is quite a while and a change was needed.  I am also trying to brighten up some of the colors in my home as well. 
And this is that same corner. Brighter, right? The difference is amazing.
This is the view of both windows.
