OK, three windows???

Question

The neighbors have generously given me, three large windows. At first when they asked me if I wanted them I thought they said TWO. No problem,..I'd make a wonderful window arbor with one on each side like my friend, Jeanne. http://wp.me/p2E92v-1gY ... But THREE??? Now what do I do? Three opens up many more possibilities, don't you think? 
 What would you do?~~ Sue

I'm trying to gather enough to make a green house. My girl friend and I just started painting on a couple last Monday to hang on the fence, although yours look to large for that. Maybe lean one. What about a table for outside? Put an old mirror behind and lean up against fence. Inside add picture's to one. So many ideas. I love the arch idea. Can't have to many arches in the backyard. I have 3 and love them. Here's mine started still have to add a vine to the top and a flower to the bottom. My girlfriend started painted a flag on her's.

OMG-these are gorgeous!! I would die for them.
That big one I would use as a privacy screen under my deck. I'd screw hangs on top and stabilize the sides with s-hooks. Maybe even tint some of the window or us stained glass pieces in the inserts instead of some of the glass. Or even add marbles here and there to catch the light. Or something like that. Enjoy them whatever you do!!!

Ok I am a dingy! I didn't realize that you hadn't made the white arbor. Please forgive me! I must have been suffering from heat stroke as we are having a horrible heatwave here in Northern VA and we don't have AC at my house! Whew!!!I have an idea for your 3 windows. First what size are they? They look to be about 48'x 58'.If an arbor is what you want then I would suggest that you go ahead and build the 3 sided structure out of wood.( the posts). I am not a carpenter. With the surfacing lumber on top and suspend the 3 windows with chains from the corners for support. In otherwords you would be making a 3 sided box.You could then decorate it accordingly.This would give you a place to sit and enjoy your yard and still feel inside sortof. I found this great site and I will give you their address in a minute where it tells you how to build an arbor.Best of luck whatever you decide to do and please post pics when you are in the process and all finished! :) http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=what%20do%20you%20call%20the%20top%20boards%20of%20an%20arbor%3F&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&ved=0CEcQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sustland.umn.edu%2Fimplement%2Foverhead_structures.html&ei=lfXqUa-VJIP88gTw24DQBg&usg=AFQjCNFFhXxApmMaQ63B12ka2ZjdW7bdMQ

Oh, lucky! I have two similar but smaller, and I still haven't decided what to use them for. Eventually, french doors maybe?

Linda · Answer

Would make a great Mirror... You could use inside.

Rosemary N · Answer

Use them for cold frames for your garden!  You could make a fairly large lean-to cold frame from them.  Or put some of your children's art work (or maybe some pretty fabric) behind the glass and hang them on the wall - a mini art gallery.  Or hang them in your garden to accentuate a pretty view.

Laura · Answer

A table would be neet, or attach together to make a privacy tri fold window screen, drape some lacy material over them!

Loretta · Answer

Green house for delicate plants. Lean them into each other and tie off.

My neighbor gave me a door from her mothers farm house, and my husband took the glass out of each pane and replaced them with mirrors, I had them cut to fit, painted the door to match my patio furniture and put in the on sun porch, I love it, and it didn't cost much to do.

Anne D · Answer

I have 3 similar windows (given as well) and I 'm going to paint Flamingos on one for Outside and the other 2 Have no Idea..?? Hopefully you'll come up with a Grand idea..Can't wait to see what you come up with :) Good Luck.

Karon Nelson Roberts · Answer

Put hinges on the sides and make a screen-- could paint/ stencil/glaze some of the glass. Get some post(like for stairs...) and screw into bottom to raise height. I would love to do that to some windows... Good luck with what ever you decide to do with them :)

Ken Strampe · Answer

lots of nice ideas the other readers have, i have no idea what your house or garden is like but i was thinking if you had a patio you could make privacy walls around your patio maybe paint some of the panes of glass with birds, butterflies and flowers. or what ever you would like. good luck on your project.
