EVERY LOVE STORY IS BEAUTIFUL BUT OURS IS MY FAVORITE
I love old wood and old windows. I really love doing projects with these types of things because they can be imperfect and actually.....you want them to look imperfect and I am great at imperfect!!! I wanted to do the window pane project with just a weathered look but that will have to be my next project because I also wanted to do one with gold and cream hues. So for this one I used a 2 step crackle paint by Valspar. Clean the part you want to paint. Spray several coats of Step 1 base coat with about an hour in between. After this is dry (but not longer than 48 hours) spray step 2 top crackle coat, use several coats depending on the types of cracks you want. I used silhouette gold foil for the saying and just added some do-dads like pearls, gold buttons and flowers and kept it simple. I used clear photo corners on the pictures so I can easily change them out. You can see them a little bit if you are up really close but not when it's on the wall so it's up to you if you want to use something else. Then the biggest job is to sweet talk the man of the house to put the hooks on it in the back!
Clean up your window
Cover the window panes
Apply the base coat
Apply first coat of crackle-let dry at least 24 hours but no more than 48
Apply second coat of crackle
Remove the paper and decorate!
