My laundry room needs a window.

In our new house, the laundry room is in the middle of the house.  Because of that, it has no window. There will be white cabinets and light colored walls but that can only do so much. It's gonna need good lighting because I'm going to sew in there too.

If it could be a little fun that wouldn't hurt any either.

And so, I hatched a plan.

It will have a window.

A faux window.

 

This is it.  I saw it in the window of an antique store in Grand Forks and instantly fell in love.

It's just the colors that I was hoping for.  Bright.  Pretty.  Cheerful.

The glass looks like it's been in freezing rain.  I love the look.

Here's the plan....

The window will be set into the wall so it looks like any other window and trimmed out the same too. 

It will be lit from behind with lights to be suggested by the electrician.  The contractor says it could be put on hinges so that the light bulbs can be changed easily.

Because the glass is transparent DH suggested that a sheet of frosted plexiglass be attached to the back of the window to hide the wires and the light fixture.

I have yet to show my plan to the electrician but the contractor is on board and I actually think he's kinda excited by it.

Claus approves.

 

 

And so does Teddy.
