lose power! Whats it like where youre at?

DIY Holiday Snowy Palladian Windows for 5 00!

And ever since I was ten years old, the home from Holiday Inn was my dream house. I always loved the windows and the front porch:

And the same windows and set design were apparent in White Christmas:

And I also love the windows in the Christmas movies White Christmas and Holiday Inn. So one night I drove up to my house and saw this:

It just hit me that this is SO plain and blah. So I was thinking that I could probably create arched windows with poster board and white electrical tape and I did.

These were my inspiration pics whilst trying to devise a pattern. I used plain white poster board and cut out an arch and taped it to the top of each window. Then I cut out a smaller arch and placed that with clear tape. Then I simply used white electrical tape which I found at my local home improvement store for only $2.00 a roll. It was so easy to work with!

I miraculously found this window grid at at the Habitat ReStore in South Bend, Indiana and it fit the width of my window exactly. So I used it as a pattern for the perfect arch. I then placed the poster board in the windows first. Then I went over the board with the electrical tape to further make the pattern.

I then cut out "snow" pieces and taped them in the corners for that old world Dickens Christmas feeling like this:

If I had more time, I would have added more "window panes" but I did achieve the look I was shooting for. I am sure they would have looked more festive with more squares and snow. They look adorable in either daytime or night time. I have the look of expensive arched windows for about $5.00 total. :-)
