Vintage Windows Project


Recently, bought some old windows for 1.00 and 2.00 each~~excited that I could find them this cheap~~regrets that I didn't buy them all!

I did snag up several tho'; different shapes and sizes:




~~and at my local junk shop, picked up this ornamental swag piece for 3.00 to use as a decorative header after painting it and the window with a fresh coat of white chalk paint~~




~~had to add some stencils~~and here's the finished project ready to go to the shop booths~~



~have a fun weekend and may the Junking Gods be with you~

Here's a great party going on:

  8. Nice work on that bargain window. A couple of summers ago, I found several windows for $2 each and bought them for my son. Of course, since I've wanted to pick up a few for myself, I just can't find them for that price now. Yours is absolutely lovely all dolled up!

  10. Patty,
    I love how this project turned out and have been wanting to try stenciling too. Is there a book you'd recommend or site that I could learn something about this technique. You did a fantastic job and I love it.

  13. Hi Patty,
    I couldn't find your email on your page so thought I would post here - I have been browsing your blog for well over an hour and am only about halfway through your posts. Your style and talent are amazing - I can't believe I haven't seen your blog before now. You have a dedicated new follower!

  14. I love how you played those windows artistically! With the all-white scheme, they definitely look timeless. That’s a lot of credit to the chalk paint. They never really fail in giving you that vintage appearance. I’m sure they will bring more heads turned to your shop’s direction. ;)

  15. Beautiful! You absolutely did a great job in adding intricate designs on the vintage window. I don’t know, but when I first saw the upshot, I immediately thought that it’s a window sign for wedding shops. Hihi! :P

  16. @Tameka, maybe it was because of the floral ornament. :D Anyway, kudos to you, Patty, for doing such a great job in reinventing old and used windows into something creative! Actually, this old-stuff-turned-to-signboard didn’t look like it was made from a window. :P
