My Dilemma ....


I finally finished taking the glass out of the vintage window I've been working on. It was quite a job, with lots of scraping and picking. And a tiny bit of swearing when I snagged my finger on the edge of the glass. That was very sharp! Thankfully, out of three pieces, two are still intact. With all the pieces out, I'm quite excited about all the possibilities of what I can do with this. The biggest dilemma I know have is not what to actually do with it (I have tons of idea .... thank you Pinterest!!) but do I paint it first or leave it raw? I'm scared I'll regret painting it and then have to scrape the paint off. And I'm scared I'll leave it raw and wish it had color. Ugh. I'm never good at making decisions. Once I make one, then I never go back nor do I have any regrets. Technically, it's just getting to the decision that causes me all the grief and worry. Silly, I know. I'm sharing here in case anyone has an opinion  ....


Would you paint this piece and scuff it up a bit?
Or leave it raw and just decorate it as planned?

Thank you Penny! I was leaning towards painting it as well. But then I found in my art studio today, behind some boxes, a frame my dh had found last year before we moved. It's got 4 panes of glass and just perfect for painting. So now I'm going to paint that one and keep this one in the raw wood. Very excited now! X
