"Barn Art" Dresses Up Old Windows

"Barn Art" Dresses Up Old Windows FARM HOME Miscellaneous 28-1-27 Instead of replacing a pair of broken windows on their hip roof barn, Grant and Beth Anderson decided to cover them up with a bit of "barn art" that's getting a lot of attention. One of the "fake" windows shows a couple of cats at play. A cow looks out of the other one. Beth simply cut a piece of plywood the size of the window frame, painted it, and then mounted it right over the old window. After cutting out the animal shapes in paper, she traced them onto the plywood. One of the cats was on a separate piece of plywood so it could be cut out and hung from the window. "I'm hoping to someday find the time to cover the other two windows on the barn front. My plans for them include an owl and a moose, just to add extra character," Beth says.
