How can i upcycle some very old (1939) windows? I need ideas please.

You could hang them on your walls as is for some architectural art. I’ve seen a bazillion window ideas on Hometalk — try the search bar at the top left and you’ll find tons of inspiration.

I did and only found a few. What words should I use for the search? I used several terms...

Id hang them in the wall or prop on a mantle. Or make a vintage style chalkboard or mirror!

Replace glass with chicken wire to hold photos, hair bows, recipes, or mementos.

Use as photo holders and put pictures in the panes.

Put a poster of an outdoor scene on the panes so that it appears you are looking outside.

Make a green house. Years ago we made one from our left wooden windows For a while it was a play house. We moved years ago but the green house is still in use by new owners

Wow! I'm so impressed with all the ideas! Thank you so much!🌴
