Industrial Holiday Decorating...with Whimsy

This year, I wanted to think outside the window box. So, I took a stroll down the industrial aisles of the hardware store. You know the aisles I’m talking about, the ones in the way back of the store....the ones you never go down! Carefully looking at each and every item, I found myself imagining the limitless combinations and possibilities for all this “stuff”. 

Here is what I came home with

Although I could not tell you the intended use for most of this stuff….I will show you how I intend on using it...

First, spray prime all of it with this

Next, inspired by the peacock

 Here is my color pallet

After everything is primed, start painting….and have fun! Remember, there are no rules in whimsy

Shape the objects to your liking

...paint some more

Once everything is to your satisfaction, give it a quick couple of coats 

Spray glitter & sealer

To assemble the industrial ornaments, pre-drill the dowel 

...and sheet metal

Attach everything with screws

Then, style your window boxes

They are more "glittery" in person! Hope you have an Industrial Holiday Season!
