I picked up this arched window frame at a Vintage Market sale. I loved the structure, but not the finish. In order to make it look vintage, they painted layers of mustard, rust and white paint. I really disliked the rust and mustard paint. I lived with it for about 2 years and then decided to clean it up, so I sanded all the paint off. It took about 6 hours of sanding but I think the final result looks so much better.
This is the result of a days sanding.
On the second day, I finished the sanding.
I liked the bleached wood effect is much cleaner.
I believe this updated frame will find a place in my new craft room.
I still need to find some vintage book pages, postcards or old family photos to add to the cross bars in the frame. It will be a work in progress.
