I LOVE old windows!!!

 I gave this one a new coat of paint and stapled toile fabric on the back...It hangs on the wall in our small entry foyer..


With this one, I ( meaning my husband, Mark, ) broke the glass out and I brought it to a glass maker and had them fit it for a mirror after I gave it a fresh coat of white paint.  It hangs in our family room. 

I just brought one more down from the attic that I plan on antiquing and hanging in my hallway bathroom......stay tuned for that...I need to get the motivation to go in and paint over my 10 year old flower stencil first!!!

    I love both of these. I have an old window almost exactly like that but it has the shabby chic look because I left it peeling paint. I have every intention of using it as a photo frame but for now it's part of a little cozy corner display in my house.

    Neat idea. One lady I lived with for a while had pictures of her 6 grand kids in an old window pane. It was beautiful.

    I like what you have done with old windows. I am working on one now and your site gave me many ideas. I have a neighbor who installs new windows, doors in homes and other items,he keeps them in his back yard. I will go through his pile every once in a while and bring home perfect old windows to work on . I can't wait to finish the one I have now.

    Thank You
    Chris
