Picture Frame Window

 I am so excited to tease you with what I am working on.  I wasn't home all weekend and my time seems to be flying.  However, my son, James, got all of my Halloween/Fall stuff down.  I am in process of decorating, daycare, and my own kids schedules -- it seems to be taking me forever to get anything done.  But, this is how my entryway is shaping up:

I totally fell in love with Janet's window over at Today's Fabulous Finds, go here to see hers.  It is awesome and I have been waiting a long to time to re-recreate one for me.  I just know I will have a blast decorating it for all of the upcoming holiday's.

Remember these?  I used the large one for this project.

I started by removing the glass and picture.

I bought a real thin piece of wood trim about 1 in. wide and rounded edges at the Home Depot.  It was really inexpensive for about a 5 ft. long piece.

I measured the width and length (from the inside lip) of the picture frame and cut it with a handsaw.

I painted all the pieces an olive green to match my shelf.

I then took a rag and rubbed an antique white paint until I got the effect I wanted.  Then, I added some stain and glued it together.

You can see how I glued it on that inside lip.

I just overlapped it.

Ta Da -- I can't believe mine turned out.

On to my wreath.  I bought this grapevine wreath at the thrift store for $1.00.  I added cheese cloth (from my lantern project) and spiders.  I had spider rings and a couple of larger spiders, from Walmart, to make it match my lantern.

I even did the same bow.

Added some spider webs, crows, and rats (from the Dollar Store).

I am still working on the top of my entryway dresser (below my shelf).  I will be showing you the finished product a little later.  Until then:

Thanks for stopping by and,

Happy haunting,
