Vintage Windows

During a recent visit to a local antique store, I found these beauties for only $7 a piece!

I love ’em.  There is so much potential!


I love the chipped paint all over them. The natural distressing is the real deal.


That’s why I’m not going to touch the finish on them. I love the different colors that show through.

They were a tera cotta color at one point.  Then lime green. Now white. (I would have loved to see that house with lime green windows 🙂 ).

So for now, I’m going to make wall art out of them!  I bought a simple wall hanging kit and attached it to the back.

Like I mentioned in my post about that bench,  I had extra fabric.

So I wrapped some old cardboard in the fabric and mounted them to the back of the windows. Easy peasy!


The room is a work in progress and is still a little bare. So not to worry, I’ll be adding more soon.  But for now, I’ll enjoy the view and some sunlight 🙂
