A Room With A View Have you ever wished you had a great view right outside your bedroom window but all you see when you wake up in
morning is
wall of
next-door neighbor's house? Well then follow these easy steps to create your own window with a great view. What You Will Need for This Decorating Project: 1.An old window preferably with
glass still intact. You can find these at flea markets or salvage yards. 2.Poster or picture with a pretty view large enough to put behind
window. 3.2 mug hooks 4.1 nail 5.Wire 6.10 thumbtacks 7.Hammer
If you want to paint
window, do this before moving on to
first step. You should consider though that sometimes
weathered, antique look adds a lot of charm.
How to Get This Look: - Put
window on
floor and put
poster or picture on it so that
front is facing down. - Use
thumbtacks to attach
picture or poster to
window. - Make sure
picture is right side up. - Lean
window against
wall so that you are looking at
back. - Put
2 mug hooks on
back of your window in
top corners. - Make sure
opening for
mug hooks is facing down. - Use
wire to create a “hanger” for
window. Secure
two ends of
wire on
mug hooks. Make sure there is a lot of excess wire so that when you hang
window
wire creates a triangle with 4-inch sides. - Hammer
nail into
wall where you want your window. - You can now add window treatments to it just as you would a normal window or wrap silk flower garlands around
wire.
