Old crusty windows become art

I wanted to link up to Funky Junk Interiors themed link party today. But, I quickly realized I didn’t have a post dedicated to today’s theme: windows. So, here it is! 
When I used to have my booth at the Ghost  in the Attic Antique Mall I would create all sorts of fun window displays and projects. One of my favorite was this chalkboard window. 
Using chalk board paint, after cleaning the window, I applied right over the glass. This was actually a newer window so the glass was good and secure. 
This is a perfect project for all those windows left over from renovating a house!
Just leaving windows as they are is a fun way to add architectural charm to a space. This would look much cuter in a home as apposed to a pegboard wall. 
This window actually used to be a screen door that I cut down. I liked it better as a window. 
This would be super easy to recreate using wood as well. 
What do  you do with your old windows?

In other fun news, My bathroom make-over was featured on RoadKill Rescue today. Go over and see

  1. I love old windows and use them from everything from picture frames, to chalkboards, to headboards, to china cabinets. Guess which one is my favorite? :)

    Love the window with the simple wreath in it. I just stopped by from Funky Junk Interiors.

    I wondered if you'd be willing to share any tips for someone who wants to start out selling items in a booth in an antique mall/flea market type set up? Right now I'm debating which would be better and I'm unsure of how to choose my location. I see that you said you used to have a booth and wondered why you stopped? Too tedious, not worth your time, etc? I hope I'm not out of line, I'm just really curious. :)
