I have a hallway that goes from my back door to the front of my house that has one empty wall.
I really wanted to display our family photos in a unique way that allowed people to see
a true reflection of us.
I purchased several old windows from a lady who was remodeling her older home.
I bought the larger windows for five dollars and the smaller ones for three dollars.
(although the smaller ones are a really good size.)
I edited photos that I had taken of our children and
gave them the same effect to give the pictures a unified look.
I them printed the pictures and taped them behind the glass.
I even edited some of our wedding photos
and placed them behind the smaller window pane.
There was a nail hole in the window,
so I added a fleur de lis embellishment.
The Divine Mr. M measured and measured and measured
before hanging the windows on the wall.
There were open spaces left on the wall,
so I decided to add some architectural interest by adding
different pieces for texture.
This is the face of a dresser drawer that I found on the curb.
I loved the carving soooo much.
I painted it white and distressed the front to give it some age.
I then painted the knob with some Oil Rubbed Bronze...my fave.
I love the look it gives!
Here's the wall from the only angle that I could squeeze in.
(sorry. The hallway is very narrow.)
I added our family initial, a key, a door knob, and a large fleur de lis as well.
I also added the window from my great grandmother's house with a wonderful quote
that I talked about here.
This is Mr. M's favorite project by far!!!
I love the originality and the aged look it gives.
Hope ya'll like it too!!!!!!
