| Just noticed it's hanging crooked! Ops! |
I pretty much put it together like my "Dream" sign, except that I left about 1/4" space in between each board and added the "Z" pattern to the front to make it look like a garden gate (or barn door). And, I aged it using green paint instead of white paint.
I thought about adding a handle on one side and then attaching two hinges on the other side to make it appear more like a gate. What do you think?
Oh yeah...and the other project for this bedroom was my lamp makeover. Of course, I didn't take any before pictures, but imagine the lamp burgundy with a pleated burgundy lamp shade.
Again, nothing new...I primed and then painted the base with leftover green paint and then removed the fabric from the shade and hot glued heavy jute to the shade.
A very simple and inexpensive transformation.
Thank you for the visit...and I've really enjoyed your comments!!

Love it! I have cabinet doors that look like old gates. I gotta do something with them...they are awesome. Love how your gate turned out. I like the idea of adding a handle and hinges! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a very pretty and romantic way to fill wall space!
ReplyDeleteGosh this is really pretty. I love the color!
ReplyDeleteI love the gate and the lamp shade. I have a lampshade that needs something done to it. New lampshades are outrageous in price! I've been trying to think of something to do with the old one. Thanks for the idea!

It really looks nice! I like the wreath, too! You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Under the Table & Dreaming. Love the gate above the bed. We could never do that in California b/c of potential earthquakes! Also adore your blog name... I'm partial to all things frosting =)
