Okay mommas, all of us are on board for saving money, right? That's why I love this blogger
who is all about Thrift Shop Glam. She decorates by sprucing up garage sale and DI finds. Totally down my alley! So, she was doing a linky party about Look what I found Friday, where her followers share their great finds. I had to play cause just look at these BEAUTS! None of the thrift stores around me had any windows, and it's not really yard sale season. Antique stores had poor selection at high prices, so I decided to call an actual window company. I got four of these windows out of their junk pile for 15$ total. Ka-ching! Here's the best part: I only wanted 2 so I sold the other two for 25 bucks! Ah, it was a beautiful day. Lead paint? probably. Just what I was looking for? Most Def. Brag worthy? I think so. Happy husband? Bonus! My question is, am I required to strip and repaint these on account of possible lead paint issues? Or can I use them as is, with maybe a seal coat?
I can't wait to see pictures of them all hung and set up the way you want them! I'll bet they'll be awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you for visiting my blog and adding the button. You are so sweet! I love the windows you found,and made $25?! Awesome! Please join us in my link party every Wednesday at http://tearosehome.blogspot.com when you have a project to share. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would probably stripe them.....just to be certain a little person won't walk up and start peeling off the paint. You can antique them with sandpaper.
ReplyDeleteI would stip them also . there is a paint you can use called crack paint and it cracks as it drys so it looks old .Ive only used it once so you might have to resurch it some . but it worked great
