I turned an old timber window into a mirror and converted a wide bench seat into two narrow ones to place against an entrance wall. With a few added accessories, a blank entryway was turned into a practical and welcoming entrance.
Steps
Step 1
Sand the paint from the window leaving random amounts to give a distressed look. Apply mirror effect spray to the back of the glass.
Step 2
Using a tile cutter, cut narrow strips of tile to fit into the recessed area of the window. Having never used a tile cutter before, I found it extremely difficult to cut thin pieces so I broke a few tiles. I ended up still using them as a mosiac effect. Use liquid nails to attach to the window and once dry, apply grout. Apply Beeswax polish to timber, attach hooks and then attach to wall
Step 3
Separate the bench seat by sawing the wood joins. Sand the top, then apply stain using rags. Paint the rest of the seat with satin paint. Apply Beeswax to the stained top only
