Distressed Love

There are some projects I thoroughly enjoy and there are some I just fall in love with, this is definitely a love item! A friend, Becky, found this distressed window frame at a yard sale and asked for a touch of flare to be added.  This window frame is beyond perfect-- the wood is old and chipped away, and still includes an original latch.  The aged look tells a story from the frames time period....perfect!

Below is the before picture...

First step was to stencil lettering on each pane, then painting 


The paint was originally very bold and strong.  Since the frame was old and distressed, I used sandpaper to add the same look to each letter. Be careful to sand only the paint and not the actual glass.


Final project, "Distressed Love"!
