There are SOOOOO many possibilities. Such as photos in the back, hang all 6 and place seasonal items on it....
But here are some really cool ideas as well:

Paint them black, and apply some "stained glass" vinyl film to the back. Hang them from the ceiling in front of a window.
Take the glass out, use it as a trellis in the garden....paint stained glass on the panes and hang in lieu of curtains, make into picture frames
Hang it across a long wall and stick family photos behind it???? Use if for a Head board on a queen size bed? Useful for a greenhouse? I bet there are too many uses to mention. Good Luck........Build around it and make a glass door???

4 Gorgeous Decor Ideas Using Old Windows
Maybe a mercury glass finish on the backside and hang as a mirror
Could paint or stain, then secure two end to end repeat with other ones, then use piano hinges to make a standing screen/room divider!
Thanks everyone! Some great ideas!
and thanks especially for the pintrest and the other links!!
Just want to say. . . lucky you! I like the idea of combining the hinging and the mercury glass. You would have a knockout screen!
Great find!! I would clean and sand area that need to remove unwanted hardware and mercury glass them and spray paint them white and hang then al large dining room wall or over a buffet in the dining room, or even a mirrored head board.
I actually think it's perfect just the way it is! I would hang it as a focal point. Or if you want to change it up a bit take it to a glass shop and have them put mirrors instead of glass. I did that for one of my first posts here.
I'm thinking those would look gorgeous if you turn them into room dividers. The distressed look of the paint already adds character to it. You just have to put hinges to attach them to each other.
Make a really cool headboard! Found this to give you the idea, but yours is more interesting!
You could give them to me! I am drooling, you're so lucky! I agree with Moi, they are perfect the way they are! Hang them on a wall with wreaths. I say don't paint them or alter them in any way!!!
