How to Make a Photo Display From an Old Window

My friends. We are coming upon a very important day in the Hoff house…Miss L’s 3rd birthday!

{Yippeee! *Sniff* Wahoo! *Sob*}

I typically get very emotional, reminiscent, and excited all at the same time when her birthday rolls around. Being a mom is such a paradox, no?

As the big day approaches, I’ve been making some decor pieces that go with the “Cowgirl” theme of the party.

My first big project is this old window turned photo display. I found the old window frame at an antique store and loved the rustic wood. It had been just sitting around in the garage, and I finally decided to do something with it.

I unrolled some chicken-wire and used a staple gun to attach to the back. I liked the look of the chicken-wire photo frame, but I wanted to back it with something. I had some burlap on hand, so burlap it was! I used the staple gun {again} to attach the burlap to the back of the frame. I pulled and stretched it as much as I could as I stapled it to the back of the window frame.

I think it makes the perfect photo display for this cowgirl birthday party, don’t you?!

As you can probably tell, I took Miss L. out to some local stables to take some pictures of her in her Halloween costume {which will double as her birthday party outfit!}

…and just because I’m a proud Mama, here are a few shots of Miss L.:

I’m just so proud of this smart, sweet, sassy, test-every-limit, give-lots-of-kisses, band-aid-obsessed, princess-dressing little girl!

I always think back to where I was three years ago at this time: Nearly 9 months pregnant, scared, excited, curious, uncomfortable, and ready to meet my little girl. If I could go back in time and assure myself that all will be well, that your little girl will be healthy, and you will be a great mom, I would…

Let’s see what my friends came up with this month for our $30 Thursday:

Shayna’s Thanksgiving Burlap Placemats add the perfect rustic touch to the table, don’t they?

I just LOVE Jen’s Pottery Barn Inspired Advent Calendar!

Have a great day!
