old windows

I've loved old windows for a bazillion years. And I think it's because of their versatility to become anything we wish. They are compact, can be mounted easily, and changed out to match any decor. Their rustic woodsy lines get me every time. :)


This is an old window I staged for a friend at Christmas. It was a neat way to mount a wreath so you didn't have to damage any walls. Great for those that love to change things up frequently!


Here's an oldy from my archives. I called this one the Funky Chicken display. I just liked how the glassless frame gave some height and interest to the fireplace.

And how cool are these old window greenhouses?!? What a fabulously productive way to utilize these old gems. I'll take three like the little white one, please. :)

And then there's my character building.


The windows were first mounted to the greenhouse framework, then old fencing wood was installed around the windows. It was so easy to do! And so very much fun! I remember working on this when I couldn't afford camping last year. And I ended up having one of the coolest summers ever, creating this.



Oh oh! I have to show you this one too.



Isn't this the sweetest dreamiest canopy?!? Adorable idea. The sheers really make this one extra heavenly.

Inspired? Me too! I sure hope you brought your old windows along because the themed link is below!

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style (unless making the item is self explanatory).

5. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and within 1 month old. The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS.
