Chicken Wire Window


I've been wanting a way to display my polaroids and have an excuse to use my camera more often and thought this was the perfect way! I'm totally thinking of making another one on a larger scale for our living room also. 


I picked up this window for $5 a couple years ago and just knew I'd have a good use for it, fast forward a couple years and I finally found a use for it...😉.


I had previously gone over it with a cheap can of white spray paint, it had gotten a little dirty from sitting in storage so I went over it with a scotch brite pad to clean it up. 



Now there may be a easier/ more efficient way to do this...but this way worked well for me!


I placed the chicken wire over the window and figured out the placement. 



I used this Stanley staple gun and staples to attach the chicken wire to the window. 



I made sure to staple in areas that won't come undone when I cut the rest of the wire off.



I used these wire cutters to remove the unwanted chicken wire. 



There is no special way I removed it, I just made sure the staples would still hold it.



I attached one of these to the back to hang. 





I found these mini clothespins at Walmart to attach the pictures to the chicken wire. 


And the finished product! I love the way this turned out, I have it hanging on the wall in my dinning room so its the first thing you see when you walk in our back door. Its so fun to see these memories and super easy to switch out when we take new photos.

Favorites - Hair Products

Favorites - Hair Products I'm starting a new little "series" Once a month I'm going to do a post on some of my favorite things, whether its hair and beauty products, clothes, cleaning products, foods, etc. To kick off this series I'm going to start with my favorite hair products. I decided to pair brands together to keep it a little more simple for you!  Now first things first...I'm sure you've been told this (probably by me) but DO NOT buy hair products from Walmart, target, TJ Max, etc....It is NOT the same thing you get from a salon!  My mom actually did it years ago when Walmart started carying "Paul Mitchell" products, and guess what...It wasn't the same as what she got from our stylist. Ulta, Sephora, Beauty Brands, places like that are fine, but I recommend buying from your stylist, they put the work into picking out the right products for you so I'm sure they'd appreciate your business😊.
