I got an e-mail from my adorable sister, Natee asking me for help with a little project of hers. She has this very large, empty wall in her kitchen that she doesn’t know what to do with. She says she has an old window pane down in her basement that she was thinking of white-washing and hanging there and maybe hang a wreath or a vinyl saying above. I soo wish I lived closer, I would love to drop by and help her decorate it but because we live in different states, I figure I’d show her a few options of what I would do.
Here is a picture of her wall. Don’t you just love that Celery Green? and I love what I can see of those curtain’s.
So It’s a pretty big wall.
I think Ideally she needs a big piece of furniture, like these shelves from pottery barn.
Or how about this large wooden beauty?
A big White hutch would be Lovely. I just found this onehereon Miss Mustard Seed’s blog, It belongs toSarah and Drew B
Or instead of a hutch, she could go with bead board walls with pictures above it like here atthe Lettered Cottage(although we all know her wall no longer looks like this. She has tore it down to the beams. but I love it both ways)
I know my sister didn’t want to spend a lot of money, but those are just some fun ideas to think about.
So here are Natee’s window frames. I’m In Love!!! She told me I could have one. (she’s so sweet) and as much as I really really want it, I kinda think she should use both of them on her walls and do something like this……
I love the idea of white washing the windows (which by the way I’ve never done, so if any of you know how or have any tips please let me know in a comment below) and then hang a piece of molding with a bunch of hooks above it. ( I did the same thing herein my entry way. It was super easy to make.) Then from the hooks she could hang her wreath and tea cup’s or other kitchen items…an apron perhaps.
This beautiful Kitchen belongs toSecret Garden Cottage. As well as the next picture.
I just want to know where she found all of her lovely window frames.
So what I’m thinking for Natee’s window’s would be to put a few photos behind some of the glass panes, like the one above the couch in this picture.
And then use the rest of the panes for memo’s. You can write on the glass with just a dry-erase marker.
I just came across this photo here onMy Lovely Life’sblog.
This next picture is a great idea too. You could add a little wall shelf above the window frame, and add some hooks to mimic this one here.
I love the idea of a mirror in the window frame too. Here is a very large one fromMe and Alice.
And finally just a few more ideas. You could use it as a large picture frame.
Or Paint it with chalk board paint and use it for a writing notes.
I hope this was helpful Natee. You have a great big wall to work with so don’t be shy. I can’t wait to see what you decide to do with it.
And if any of you readers have any ideas you would like to share, please do so.
