Decorating With Old Windows

Decorating with Old Windows has become very popular and just in case you are wondering how it's done, I have pulled together several different projects/examples, including one of my own, that uses old windows to bring a little farmhouse/rustic style to a space.
Let's get started with how I used a couple of old windows in my decor. I had windows replaced a couple of years ago and I kept a few of the windows. I added 2 to our shed outside (I still need to add the flower boxes) and I upcycled these two for my dining room. I didn't have to do much to make these fit into my modern farmhouse refresh for the room. I left the paint chippy, cleaned them really well, and sealed with polyacrylic. The fit perfectly in that space and actually gave it new life.
I love what Indulgy.com did with their windows. What we have here is a very cutesy way to hang photos. They used smaller picture frames and simply hung them using what looks burlap ribbon to an old picture frame. This is both rustic and a bit traditional. The black frames make it a little traditional while the burlap ribbon and the old window lend themselves to a more rustic look. I could see this hanging next to or over a fireplace, or as the focal point of a gallery wall. I have a few more windows left...hummmmm.
This is one of my favorites. I started this project last spring but did not finish it. I hope I get to complete it this spring. Clickypix. How cute are these windows with added flower boxes? Painting the frames black gave these old windows a more upscaled look. Don't you think? And adding the flower boxes just adds the finishing touch. Believe it or not, I began this project on some extra windows I happened to have. They are hanging on either side of the door to our storage shed. We never got around to adding the flower boxes and I think that is what makes this project great and at least colorful. Think of how you could change out the flowers seasonally. Beautiful!
