It is similar to the wall art I recently showed that I did for another bathroom of mine. You can see that HERE. Although the two are the same concept, they are completely different and unique in their own way.
I started with my $1 window. It had one broken pane, so I knocked all of them out. I cleaned up the frame by sanding off any loose paint.
I took vintage cedar I had laying around, cut it to size, painted it white, and distressed it. I printed images from the GRAPHICS FAIRY and decopodged them to the wood. The TUTORIAL for doing this can be seen on the above mentioned wall art I did for my other bathroom.
Here is what I came up with....
The room this art is hanging , is fully renovated, but I am going to hold off on posting about it because there are a few changes I am making....
So, if you have been wondering what you can do with old windows, here it is. Cheap and something you will love hanging in your home.
Take care,
Lisa

Hey Lisa! This is awesome! What a original way to display art! I love "Graphics Fairy"! I've been using in quite a bit, recently. Looks great! Congrats on the feature, as well! xx
ReplyDeleteHi there Lisa~ Love this idea! I love old windows and have one nearly identical to yours that I was moving around today! :) Yours looks so pretty with the little prints in each pane- such a great idea! Thanks for sharing at my party! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your botanical window! What a fun and cleaver idea! I received an old 6 pane window from my mom awhile back, and I added prints of roses that I found in a book ($1 at the library's used book sale!) to each pane. Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love old window projects!! What a cool idea to use old photos to decorate it with. Thanks for sharing it!
