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!

Love the windows - so many fantastic uses! I have one that I turned into a mirror. Love the green house idea and the wreath.
ReplyDeleteDonna,
ReplyDeleteI think I will have one of each please! :-) They are all super!
smiles, alice
Great window ideas! I love that wood shed you built. How fantastic! I'll be posting my window tomorrow since I forgot all about it and can't take pics now. No light. See you tomorrow. I will link up under home decor for now.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE the greenhouses. But that canopy scares me!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna!
ReplyDeleteI love how you displayed the wreath on the old window, so pretty. The greenhouse picture has been a favourite of mine for awhile, it is so pretty and practical too! Hope you have a great weekend!

I so want your shed! I can never get tired of seeing it. It is just so freaking cute! I want to build the bitty one a playhouse like this. Love that white window greenhouse too. I may be on the hunt for old windows this summer.
ReplyDeleteI love the old shed and the canopy is just a wonderful idea!! I found some more old windows and so want to make one of those small faerie greenhouses with them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You party is heaven sent for me! I just aquired some old windows and have been contemplating on what to do with them. I cannot wait to see all these entries! I know... I'm so selfish! But I need inspiration! :) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI'm gettin' in line for the shed! Have I told you lately that I love you? I mean, I love your linky parties...even though I don't often link?
ReplyDeleteps, how about "rust" for a theme?
When I used to live in the country (in Illinois) I found old windows all the time. Now that I live in the city (Las Vegas) I never see them. I wish I would have brought a couple with me when we moved! I saw a really cool project on a blog where she put an old map behind an old window. It looked awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your shed and the greenhouses are adorable. Thanks for hosting such a wonderful party every week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Funky Junk.. Especially old windows. Hope you don't mind I'm sharing an older post... too rainy to get outside to take an updated photo! I'll update tomorrow! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteI love all your old windows and I have some around my home as well (as decor!). I'm giving away 3 super chic Sam Moon cuff bracelets that I can't wait to send to 3 lucky enterers! They are so summery and gorgeous. Here's my blog addy:

The window projects are so creative!

Love all the window ideas!

ReplyDeleteThat does it! I'm going to have to find some old windows to make one of those darling greenhouses! Just found your blog last week and was so inspired by yours and MMS that I started my own! Wish I knew how to put a scroll bar link to your SNS. I'll learn. So many things to learn!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE old windows... I grew up in a 1920's farmhouse, so we had a barn full of them. I wish I had pictures to share... but we hung a few of them on the wall of the little shed next to our house, behind the hanging herb garden. So cute :)
ReplyDeleteI think the greenhouse is actually called The Back Porch in Harrison isn't it? It is one of my road trip locations. I go and get bags of $$ garlic every year. It is pricey but fabulous. I have bought a huge wagon wheel, a super long saw (should have seen me getting that home in a car full of people)and a few other antique pieces.
ReplyDeleteA few blocks away is the Farmhouse Cheese shop. I have posted about this place too in the past.
Great road trip location.
i love old windows too - have 3 hanging in my house right now :)
ReplyDeleteI linked up a couple of little projects - thansk for the party!!
Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by...better late than never(lol)!! Yay, I'm glad your doing old windows...love'm!! LOVE the vignette with the Christmas wreath...so pretty!!
Have a great weekend, and thanks for hosting another SNS party!!
Hugs ~ Jo :)
Lori E, thanks!! YES! The BACK Porch. I changed my post. It is indeed a fabulous trip. For many years we use to park all season in Harrison to camp so that area totally feels like home for us. I miss it.. sigh..
ReplyDeleteLovin' SNS! But I have been a good girl and since it decided to stop raining just today, have been working on "Gitter Done!" projects. I'm sooo proud of me. :)
I'll be back tonite!
Donna
I love your greenhouse/woodhouse! Can I come over and play?
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
Back again.....got room for one more old-window-turns-garden-greenhouse? Oh, and I didn't name her "Cassie"....first time linking with your new thumbnail pics!
ReplyDeleteAnother great SNS!!! I just adore old windows. I wish I had more than the one I do have. Love everything you have done (but everything you do is genious!!!) I would love to build a small greenhouse with old windows. Maybe some day.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I love the idea of that wreath holder! We replaced all of our windows last year and I saved them. I've made a few simple things, but nothing to rock your socks off. Thanks for these great ideas again! I swear you are the everlasting spring of ideas!
ReplyDeleteI looove seeing all of the great old window ideas! I have a few in the attic that I've been meaning to dig out, plus like the poster above me, we replaced our old windows last year and I saved a ton. Thanks for the inspiration and for hosting another week of SNS!
ReplyDeleteWow, those were some beautiful examples in using old windows!
ReplyDeletejust realized i never linked back to FJI on my windows post...so sorry, doin' it know.
ReplyDelete:) Denise
Another great party. I linked up a window... I love all the pics you posted~great stuff! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteGreat Party!!! I love the way the topics are seperated.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thanks for the sidebar link Ms. Funky Junk. I love the woodshed idea. I'm going to send it to my father-in-law cause he is the king of shed making. This one will be next on his list!!!
