I cut out pieces of rather wide tongue depressor sticks to make a lining for the window cut out in the foam, and I stained them.
I glued them into place inside the window opening.
Then I constructed a simple frame out of odd bits of wood -- these overlapped the edge of the window so that they would stop the "glass" from moving forward.
I trimmed the foam so it was neater, then cut a piece of acrylic to fit the window hole and made panes using 1/16" self-adhesive model striping and then fitted it into the hole.
And it's done!
I've also been working on what I'm using for crown moulding, and I'll show that in a later post. I also MUST do my 200 follower giveaway, or it'll be 250 lovely followers and I will be consumed by guilt :)

I'm a little low on energy right now, too, Susanne, so I sympathise :) And doors are fiddly at the best of times ...
ReplyDeleteThe low energy thing seems to be contagious these days - maybe it's the changeing season (it's darn cold here in Albert considering it's still August.:-() However, Nina - your house is coming along splendidly! I love the front entry and I think it's my favorite room so far. Love the b&w tiles and the staircase looks great with all the panelling. Great job on the window, too!

Great work withe the window Nina! I truly love this hall!:D
ReplyDeleteNina, you should see what I do, when no energy!
ReplyDeleteUnimaginable crap :-)
Your skill is admirable. The window is very beautiful, I love the walnut that uses ...
Perhaps you could take a little rest before continuing...
