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!
