I tackled a project with one of them today. I printed out 8 photos from The Graphics Fairy. They are 8 cover photos from vintage sheet music books. I mod podged each to the backside. In addition I painted the panes a pale gray/blue. Finally, I distressed the entire piece....I am in love with this!
Wish all of you could see it in person. Looks so much better than the photos. It's hanging in my family room next to this piece.
I know, I have been teasing you with bits and pieces of this room. I promise I only have a few things to finish it up before the reveal.
What a great idea! I've been racking my brain for some new art to put in my guest bathroom, and these would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteLisa, these look great! I love the graphics fairy, I use her a lot, too! Window panes are my favorite, in fact, I just got one and have been waiting for the perfect thing to do with it! I think this may be it....love it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the room.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would love for someone to bring me those windows. Awesome find!
Wow! windows! Let me see...roses or windows...hmmmm If I had your imagination, inspiration and energy I guess windows would work for me too. :-) Great job. Can't wait to see the room all finished. Have a great day! Pamela
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think you have the most romantic husband in the world! 7 windows from the dump? Perfect! You did a great job using The Graphics Fairy's stuff--so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnother great project by you!
Have a great day.

Hi Lisa~ What a sweet hubby you have!!! Windows at the dump and they weren't even all broken to bits- what a score!! Love what you have done there and can't wait to see the room reveal!! :) Thanks for sharing at my party! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that big piece of furniture in your family room. Totally my style!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Lisa! I can pick flowers from my yard. I'd rather have a trip to my favorite junkin' spots or some cool salvage gift - like yours. ;)

I love the windows, guess I am just dumb...but did you put mod podge on the front of the sheet then to the back of the window?? It looks so wonderful I have to try it, but take my hand and show me how....:)
ReplyDeleteYou got those windows for free? Wow! What an awesome find. They look great!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the windows idea! Can't wait to try my own take on this.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the best project you've ever done. When I say best I mean it. All the colors you picked were ingenious and just the idea of using vintage sheet music is really cool.
