Ideas for Old Windows

February 11, 2012 by Amanda Formaro

Ideas for Old WindowsDonna from Funky Junk Interiors has a link party every Saturday, and each week she has an optional/additional theme in which you can enter projects.

This week theme old windows and boy did Donna find some beauties to feature! When you visit there are links to each project featured, and then below you’ll see a link party with a bunch of other old window ideas too. I actually have a gorgeous old farmhouse window sitting here waiting for me to do something with it.

Now I’m inspired to get busy! Check them all out at Funky Junk Interiors: Sat Nite Special 120 – old windows!.

Don’t have an old window lying around? Check out your local junk stores, recycled shops and building waste supplies. There is a builder junkyard within 15 minutes of my house. I have never been because I know once I step inside I will need a truck to come home. It’s safer if I go nowhere near it.  Upcycling and recycling is a great way to make something old new again, especially window frames, door panels etc. It is also a great way to create a keepsake, for example, Grandmas house might have an old window pane that you could remove and create a memorable keepsake.

      The clear contact paper comes off pretty easy and clean so you could probably easily change out the picture. I have seen clear photo pockets at some craft stores though and they might work.
