Trash to Treasure ---- Old Windows

Today's Trash to Treasure is about old windows.

Do you have any of these vintage windows hanging around and don't know what to do with them? Maybe these ideas will spark your creativity.

Add a planter box to the front of your window.    Isn't this one pretty.


Have a room without a view? Learn how to add one like this.

 I love the pictures they used with this one.




Learn how to make a chalkboard with one here,   The Shabby Chic Cottage


Use it to hang pots and pans from.

And if you have a lot of windows,  you can even make a greenhouse from them.

    Wow, wonderful ideas! I bet the ones with pictures would certainly cause a double take the first time visitors see it. The mirror and chalkboard ones are cool too.
