Windmill Decorating

Mar 14, 2017 By Layla

Hi!

Do you remember that mirror I made for the Bungalow Barn last week? The one that was inspired by this Ballard Designs mirror…

Well, I told you I was going to come up with a fun way to re-create the arched look at the top, and today I thought I’d show you what I did.

Ta da!

It’s a half windmill from Urban Farmgirl. Does that just say BARN or what?! 😀

I’ll be back soon with another fun Bungalow Barn-related decorating project. I’m surprising Mama Katie with it or I’d give you a hint about what it is. 😉

PS- If you’re on the hunt for a half (or full!) windmill too, you can find the gal I got it from (Mary Gulbrantson) here:

    It looks great!!! The banquet for the barn, is the seating made out of upper kitchen cabinets?? Have a great day!

    I’ve seen them at Hob Lob too. II wish I had seen them last year. My daughter got married at a gorgeous orchard venue that converted a grain silo to a bar with a gigantic, vintage windmill ceiling fan. So to jump off on that for decorating I made a few windmills out of laundry pod lids (look like gear hubs) dowels and aluminum flashing blades all sprayed copper. They look great on a wall but the flashing is a little bit dangerous to work with. If I had a blog I’d do a tutorial!

    I just traveled to Urban Farmgirl in IL all the way from Wisconsin with a girlfriend of mine for the ‘Vintage shop Hop’ day and it did not disappoint! Absolutely beautiful decor and the store/house itself is amazing! I just wished I had a bigger pocketbook! 🙂 My girlfriend came close to getting that windmill, it looks fantastic in your home…as does everything you do. 🙂

    Can you get any more clever or creative? Fabulous idea! Now, I’m on the hunt!

    Layla, would you mind sharing where you got that narrow console/credenza with the doors & baskets? We could use a piece like that – added storage with a narrow footprint.
    Love the mirror and windmill too!

    What a creative way to create the arched top. I actually like what you did, much more than the original piece, don’t you just love it when your DIY’s turn out better than the original? Decorating with wall mirrors in a small space is always a great idea, really makes the space light up and give the illusion of a larger space.
