More Nesting Projects

I wanted something simple and blue that didn't cost an arm and a leg to hang in our master bathroom. So, I found this piece of wood at the farm, mixed a blue acrylic with a clear glaze until it matched the blues in our bathroom, and painted it.

I saw a painting of some type of flower on pinterest, and I really loved it. This was my first time working with acrylic paint, so I wasn't sure I could pull it off, but it worked out and matches our bathroom well. I didn't put much time into the actual painting part, but the drying in between layers seemed to take forever. Give me a pencil over paint any day!

Another pinterest project. An old window (again, found at the farm).

Some spray adhesive glue and scrapbook paper.

Cut the paper to fit the glass, sprayed a tiny bit of glue on the glass, and pressed the paper down.

You can write on it with dry erase. Some of the names of God would be awesome.

Pinterest Project--Gold to Silver

One of my 3rd trimester nesting projects. We were repainting the guest bathroom (see that nasty yellowing by the ceiling?), and everything in this bathroom was silver....except the light fixtures. I didn't really feel like buying and reinstalling a new silver light fixture, but I also didn't like the gold. 

So, pinterest to the rescue!

I taped everything, rubbed the metal with steel wool, and used a silver spray paint ($3 leftover from a Christmas project). It took two coats.

And tada! Silver :) Now I just need to finish getting the other two light bulbs :P
