Porch lights


MaryKate

When J and I were looking at the photos of the BB online, he was very careful to tell me what colors to make everything. The outside had to be red, the inside had to be yellow. And all the trim, inside and out, had to be white. "Except for those lights, of course. Those should be yellow."

I squinted at the screen. "What lights?"

He pointed to the keystone piece in the roof line trim. "That light. There's one on the front and one on the back. They should be yellow because they're lights."

I dry brushed layers of white, yellow, and orange on the pieces to simulate light, then used 1/16" drafting tape to outline the 'fixtures.' Then I layered on something like five thick coats of clear nail polish to make it look like glass. It was all kind of spur-of-the-moment, but I really love the way they turned out.
