This won't mean anything to you because for some odd reason I don't have a before picture of what hung above our dining room table. It was a huge picture of roosters and along the side of that was a plate rack with four different kinds of rooster. Too many roosters... Bruce was growing weary of the sight of them.
So... one day last spring I found an old rickety window all flaky with white paint and that beautiful green blue color I'm crazy about peeking through. I had visions of hanging it above the mantle in our living room but I brought it home and it was too big. It sat in the garage for about a year. One day I was having coffee with some friends at my favorite store in town and I saw an old window used in this fashion. {only they hung theirs on the ceiling} Bless their hearts... I thought of this wall and how small the dining room seems. So I was telling Bruce all about it and he liked it too. Therefore, we have a new original wall decor idea... sorta original... And he thinks its bragging to show my ideas to people which is another story all its own because I know what he means yet I don't really feel braggy at all. Just happy to be alive and decorating. Hhmmm...

I know where I could get a whole bunch of those windows. I've been wondering if they'd be worth digging out. Now I know they would be....Thanks for the idea. I'm going to paint mine barn red.
ReplyDeleteyeah I know, not many people are into paint color called french mustard...
ReplyDeleteheehee! I like your new french mustard wall decor! I have been wondering if you got it up yet. Glad your husband likes it too. But, I did enjoy your rooster-y kitchen too! ~Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt is not bragging at all. If it is worth doing; it is worth showing and telling about. Very nice! I like the color, too.
ReplyDelete...and I could take care of that rooster picture for you! I love the window...i have one that is waiting for glass,some of the panes are missing, I want to put pictures of the kids in mine.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon, you're welcome to take care of Mr. Rooster... I'm storing him in my closet for now. I like him too much to part with him permantly, but you may borrow him.
