Breezeway Window Update + My Fave Rugs

Breezeway Window Update + My Fave Rugs

Slowly but surely, I am adding special little touches to the house - simple projects that make an impact and create a pop here and there of unique character. You all know my love for a paint project so I'm dressing up our breezeway window which is between the fun media room and our kitchen / living area. Eventually I would love to place the window with a vintage find, but for now, the power of paint will do the trick! You know I love my paint projects. It's the simplest way to elevate a room or a furniture piece but you never need to be fully married to one color of paint. Don't love it? Paint over it! So that's what we are doing - I am using some leftover paint to make this window pop!

A lot of you asked why we didn't just remove the window all together and the window is actually key to the design of the two spaces - it allows us to see what is happening in the media room while cooking or cleaning but it also gives privacy and keeps the main living space quiet if we have friends over. It's the perfect blend of spaces - one for the kiddos to be and a place for the adults to relax. As the kids get older, we want them to be comfortable bringing friends back here and having their own space to hang! Plus, this room was made for family movie nights!!

Things you need for a project like this:

- Paintbrush

- Interior or Exterior Paint - I am using Benjamin Moore in Black which is a paint and primer in one. These particular windows are vinyl and although this is exterior paint, I wouldn't paint vinyl exterior windows

- Drop cloth or towel to cover your surfaces

- Tape: I usually don't spend the time taping, but only because I try to be slow and neat. But you could always wipe off the paint with your finger or use a razor blade once it's dry! Super easy to do!

With just one coat, I am loving the way it's looking - so custom! It's much more of a design focus rather than just a window between two spaces!

***Pro Tip For Staying Clean While Painting*** - You focus where you are painting with the side that has the paint on it. Focus on paint control, dip slightly and then scrape off the one side!
