I've been playing around with my booth setup all week, getting ready for my show on Sunday. This is what it looked like this morning, before I decided to ditch the little corner shelf on the right and go with my original idea---reusing some windows I picked up at ReStore (my favorite place in the world) a few weeks back.
They look like this.
Well, they did before I knocked out all the glass. Despite hubby's instructions to carefully cut out the caulk, then remove the glass panes in one piece, I headed to the trashcans after roughly four minutes of painstaking progress-less-ness and resorted to this.
Which was messy and nerve-wracking and not a little bit stupid, but yielded the quick results you know I crave. I did a bit of tidying up afterward with a razor blade and some pliers and the orbital sander, but all in all it was relatively painless. (Look, Ma! No band-aids!)
After being sanded and patched and primed, they looked like this. And then, of course, I ran out of spray paint. (Again. The guy at Home Depot is certain I'm a graffiti artist, despite my fervent assertions to the contrary.) So now I'm off in search of some more Dark Walnut. And then I'll be back, to show you the finished product, I hope.
But before I go, here's the original hardware, all primed and waiting to be painted up shiny. You like?
I would have done your quick method as well Wendy! They are going to look fab!
