found windows project
This took 2 naptimes. One for sanding and cleaning, and one for painting and wood filler. If you look closely, you will see I still need to paint over the wood filler on the middle window pane.
For me, the hardest part was figuring out how to hang these.
They are heavy, so I wanted to use wall studs. I decided to let the studs dictate exactly where I hung them. The windows are hung on 5 studs. I hammered nails into the studs (one each) at and angle and then drilled corresponding, angled holes into the back of frames. This also allowed them to hang flat against the wall.
The outside frames have two holes each, and the middle frame just has one. There was a lot of measuring, and a lot of pencil lines, involved in the hanging.
But I love it!!!!
