Could it rain anymore? No, please don't answer that. I already know that in the Pacific Northwest it can indeed. I handled the winter dreariness just fine. But the Spring dreariness is putting me over the edge. In an attempt to stay sane I have been trying to bring a little spring into the house.
It killed me a little bit to buy this old window. In Minneapolis I could have picked up a more interesting window everyday in an alley or by a dumpster for free. This window required a trip to an antique stall and $35 dollars. The egg plates are from my collection. I had a slight obsession with collecting antique book plates in the 90's. I especially love the ones of eggs.
Originally I was going to prop a larger framed egg print in front of the window. There wasn't enough depth to my mantle to do that safely. So I was so happy to find that I had prints just the right size to fit in each pane. I used removable glue dots to adhere the plates to the front of the glass.
Lightens things up a bit I think. Now I need to find something to put on the floor to the right where that wood corbel is. Any ideas?
Happy Decorating!
