I needed to put up some molding to frame the window... it did not have any, as do most of the windows in my home.... I purchased, from the Home Depot, 3" white molding. Measured and with my trusty "Miter Box" saw, I got to work.
I have used this really nice "tool" before, I always find a way to make a mistake.. So, I went slow. Held the wood to the window frame and marked the desired cut with a pencil... "By Golly, I think I did it"!
Then disaster happened! I cut the top piece of molding "WRONG"... upside down! I did not take a photo of this mistake... Being really upset with myself, "Not wanting to buy another strip of molding for one (1) 22" piece", I simply cut a new one from the scraps then pieced together, in the center of the length. Know what? I was so careful with the 'caulking'... you will never know it unless you get "Real Close".
After caulking the seams, "It came out better than I hoped!"
Then out came the "Paint".... It's time to rid myself of the "Brown Metal" look!
"Squeel with Delight" moment for me!!
My first post on this window "Transformation" I showed how I made the 'Shelf"... Instructions for the easy window shelf, click!
Total cost for the window redo... left over paint and nails, glue and glass. Molding $8.79, .50c twine...
my kinda price!

"Not bad",,, Not bad at all!
(yes, I'm so happy with myself)

Now it's time to "Panic and do a bit of research"... my plan is to '"Tackle the Tub and Tile.... It's an 80's creamy color"
I want "White"... white everything! On to read about "How to paint your tub and tile"! If I, by chance, make a mess of it.. out they go and new will take it's place.. (I really don't want to spend that kind of money! but?)
Wish Me luck!
