SNS 175 - what to do with OLD WINDOWS

What_to_do_with_OLD_WINDOWS_ features_galore_plus_a_link_party_via_Funky_Junk_Interiors



Welcome to Saturday Nite Special, the multi themed DIY link party! 

* Home Decor / Gardening
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes / Printables / Blog tips
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.

 Old windows are so so fun to play with! They can become so many wonderful and useful things other than just being a window.

This old window is the perfect rustic backdrop for an equally rustic wreath. Layering your decorating can bring a more substantial focus to special projects. 

Old window turned gorgeous mirror, by Finding Home, featured on Funky Junk Interiors

Mirrors help bounce light around, especially useful in darker areas. Although this particular sample isn't used for looking into, it's my bet the entry way is much brighter because of it! Gorgeous!

This old window tells a story of my family. Photos are held in tact with string for a rustic/modern twist. It's fun and trendy in an edgy kinda way.

    I love that Finding Home used an old footboard for a coat rack! I love that you used the old frames then strung twine on it to hold mementos. That is really awesome junque. Favorite Friday night hang out!

    Hi Donna... have been enjoying your blog for quite a while now and get way too many great ideas from it! Lately I've been a tiny bit freaked out when I open your blog in a new window and start looking around and I then I hear a voice.... it's a video that is running in your sidebar! there is a statement above it to report it if "the video plays"... not sure to whom I should report it, but thought I'd start with you... it's just a little bit spooky and I wonder if there is something I can do to only play the video if I choose to. Thanks, Donna!!!!

      Hey Kathie! I so wish I could email you but you come up as a noreply. So I do hope you come back to read this... is the video playing Technorati or Ligit? I"m attempting to stop all the videos but need to specifically know which ones.

      If ANYONE sees them playing, I'd so appreciate if you could take a screenshot of them and email or message me them so I can report them. Thank-you!

    I was just browsing craft blogs and ran across yours. My daughter loves the old windows to decorate with. When we went to garage and yard sales she would always pick them up. I have to say for something I would never have thought of they do look good. I look forward to more of your posts. thks.

    Chіcago pizza is usuаlly meaty (somе ѵarіants come
    stuffed with chеeses and meat layeгs) аnd it is еаten with a κnife anԁ fork.
    You can also dгaw deѕigns on the bugs' backs with ketchup or mustard. (only because they moaned about eating their veggies).

    I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet
    I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
