This got off all the cobwebs and now the only stench was what had actually soaked into the wood itself. Next I got to work scraping out the old caulk from each window pane. Because these windows will become the table top for end tables, I wanted to be sure the glass had a strong support system to hold up lamps, flowers, and other decorations I might set on it.
I simply used a flat head screwdriver to remove the caulk. Then I used a tack cloth to pick up all the little pieces. A tack cloth is basically a really sticky cloth you can use time and time again to lift sand, sawdust, or any other tiny particles off a surface.
I use it to clean up after I sand, which was the next step. Now I got to caulking. I used paintable white latex caulk and a caulking gun to distribute an even layer of caulking into the crevice between the wooden frame and the glass. First I taped off where I wanted the edge of caulking to be, squeezed it into the crack, and then smoothed it with my finger. I learned that a glass of water does the trick for a professional looking caulking job.
Just dip your finger in the water and glide it along the globs of caulk to smooth it. If using silicon caulk, use rubbing alcohol. Pull off your tape before the caulking dries. I like to use green frog tape for cleaner lines than blue painters tape.
I found these corner versions of blue painters tape that really came in handy for this project! They were well worth the 25 cents I paid at a garage sale. The window was finally ready for the painting process! Primed and ready to go. All done after 2 coats of paint and 3 coats of polycrylic. The very last step was to clean the very hazy glass window panes. First, I came at them with rubbing alcohol to clean off any old paint. This works on any non-porous surface like glass or plastic and takes off even hundred year old dried paint.
Next, I sprayed them with Windex and wiped them down. Look at this classy glassy transformation! Steel was chosen, which matches in with the contemporary internal design of the barn. Tye Architects trod a careful line in converting a derelict barn, sliding in a new building while respecting the frame and roof of the original barn, which dates to and had been used for years as a grain store.
It is now an elegant four-bedroom family house and work studio. Natural and organic materials were used wherever possible. There are plenty of hoops to jump through when undertaking a conversion of this type, but the results can be extremely rewarding.
Although some projects can be done under Permitted Development, others will require full planning and may be subject to restrictions. A full survey is needed to check out everything from the foundations to the roof and sometimes the environmental consequences.
A barn is a great canvas to work with. Where beams and timbers are exposed, you have instant character — the task is simply to enhance it. Both country and contemporary approaches will work but a mix of the two will do justice to the building. Our country living room ideas might be a good place to start. This type of decorating is not for the faint-hearted. A bold approach is required; small fussy patterns will be out of place so go with your gut feeling for large-scale designs or plains and stick to simple colour schemes.
The large, open plan spaces of a barn lend themselves to the way we live today but they need to be divided with care. Zoning is key.
