The Vintage Window......

After looking for months for an old vintage window, I'm so excited to say I've finally gotten my hands on one!!  (thank you dad for digging in the depths of your shed for what you thought was trash, but in my eyes was a perfect accent piece to my home decor)  There are so many ways I can display my new found treasure...ohh what to do, what to do.......


I could replace each glass pane with mirrors.......or.....take the easy route and use the Krylon Looking Glass-(mirror like paint!)

I could dig out my oh-so-loved chalkboard paint........

source



I could make a wall display.......

source



Or suspend it from the ceiling....ohhhh I like this idea!!!

source



I could make a coffee table.....Daddy K....I may need a little assistance for this idea.....are you in??

source



Or I could blow up a super cool picture and place it behind the panes.....

source



Or I could save it for party decorations......

source



For now, as I ponder over all of my possibilities, my new treasure is propped up against the wall behind Julia's reading area; decorated with a perfectly sparkly silver wreath!





I'm digging this look so much that I think I may want another one.....Daaaaad???

    Saw one in a shop once with a beautiful piece of fabric behind it. I guess sheets of scrap booking paper would also work and could be changed seasonally. I love the size of your window. It's different from standard, boring windows.

    Great find! I like the table idea :) Although the way you've got it propped up against the wall alone looks amazing!

    Just right in time! I found a lot of vintage windows in our attic and now I have something to do with them. I’m excited to create my own version of coffee table!

    I love to see a lot of creative ideas posted here. An old window is often regarded as trash, but I love the idea of recycling it and turning it into something that can beautify the interior and exterior of the house. I’ll keep my eyes open for vintage windows that can still be used. Our attic will be redesigned soon, and I hope I could use some of these ideas there.
