My inspiration was the name of my grandparents restaurant...and then I found
this window...it was hard to give it up...do you see that yummy chippy white
goodness with the sea green peeking out. But, it is for my Mom, so I let it go.
This was a simple project, and the excellent quality of products I used made it
even better.

1. Remove any hardware and set aside for possible replacement.

2. Clean window with soap and water or cleaning solution. Make sure it is dry.

3. This window was gorgeous and beat up and chippy and I was in LOVE...but
some of the edges were sharp. I gave it a good hard sanding with my Dremel
Multi-Max. Then, I wiped it with a tack cloth.

4. I chose not to paint this gem because it was gorgeous!

5. I laid down a drop cloth and elevated my window on Rockler Bench Cookies to
spray the Deft Finish on it!

6. I sprayed the entire window frame with Deft Semi-Gloss Finish Spray. Let dry.

1. Clean glass (I used Windex for this first cleaning)

2. Clean glass with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and let dry completely (as
per DecoArt directions).

3. Print out the words/letters/numbers you want to use from the computer and lay
it out on the glass to get it in position (be carefully to keep the glass clean from
finger oils and prints after cleaning). I determined I wanted the front of my sign to
be flat and smooth, so I chose to paint on the back side of the glass.

4. Print out a reverse image of the words so you can tape them down to the front
of the glass. Tape down and flip the cabinet over. You should be able to clearly
see the wording you choose (in reverse) through the back.

5. Start painting from the top down (so you don't smudge). I did about 3
coats/touch ups - I wanted really solid looking letters. This is type of painting is
not one of my strong points - painting precise lines (my art is usually big and
bold)...so I had to correct some of my own mistakes. The paint goes on great and
is just dreamy!

6. You can bake your piece once you paint with the Gloss Enamels (just follow
the package direction or the directions on the DecoArt website...but I clearly
could not bake a window, so I let mine cure for 21 days.

Voila...add a couple of DISChangers and find a cute place for it...or in my case
deliver it to your Mom!
