There are so many fun ways you can use an old window as a focal point in any room. Use some paint to create something directly on the glass. Or you can remove the glass and hang small planters in each frame. If you really want to keep it simple, just hang some vintage windows in a fun way behind a couch or dining room table. The options are endless!

DIY Picture Frame

Think outside the box from your traditional, store bought picture frames. Instead, use an old window to make the perfect DIY picture frame. You can have multiple photos or one enlarged photo that is broken up by the frame.

Accessory Organizer 

Is your jewelry currently tangled up in a box? If so create something practical to nicely display all your jewelry. Remove the glass from your old window and add chicken wire to clip your accessories to using clothes pins. This is a fun, chic way to organize your accessories!

If you are not ready to replace your windows, don’t worry, you can pick up old windows at flea markets, garage sales and many other places.
