An Ocean of Color

I wanted to share the little shelf CLH created for me so I could display my ocean-inspired glass SAFELY (a daunting task considering the dogs).

It's in the laundry room (hence the frosted windows) and I'm sorry the picture didn't turn out better but with the flash the glasses didn't light up. Without the flash, the room is a bit dim. I just really wanted you to see the neat effect. It's even cooler in the afternoon when the sun is really shining through. Beautiful glass that lights up the room.

P.S. All of the glass was purchased at either SalArmy or Goodwill for less than a dollar each.

P.P.S. What I'm listening to now: THUNDER! We are having an incredible storm! Roads flooded and everything! It is something that you don't miss until it's gone - grey skies and rain. Makes me feel like fall is finally here. We even had HAIL!

Frosty Windows Cont.

So here we go, all done. I went outside to make sure I got the privacy that I desired while washing the dirty out. Yup, that's me. And I couldn't see a flippin' thing. Which makes me feel good about washing at night. Pervies can look in all they want. They won't see a single thing.


This is what I see. Beautiful frosted window with some colored glass that I picked up at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Speaking of which, more good finds this weekend at the Army. Stayed tuned!

Frosty Windows Make Good Neighbors

These pictures are going backwards, and I'm not going to fix it. I will, however, start my story at the beginning. I decided that I didn't like the window in the laundry room. As the sole laundry-doer, it was up to me to make some changes. I knew I didn't want to put the ugly venetian blinds back up after I had painted the room, but I didn't know what to do. Then I saw another house blogger try frosting a window and thought I would give it a whirl. I figured I could do it - with some help from boyfriend. These pictures document the process. Backwards. With my NEW camera. Hot Dog.

So in the top picture I am cutting the edges of the frosty stuff from around the window. In the picture directly above and the one below I am cutting and measuring, respectively. This started out as SOMEONE else's job, but you all know the saying. If you want something done right...

Then we arrive at the beginning. Jer measuring and wipin' the window clean for me.
