I have seen so many of you do some amazing transformations on old windows, so I thought I would show you my window makeover! This was a project that was a long time in the making. Or, I should say it was a project that took me a long time to get around to! I felt so guilty walking by that poor old window, month after month! So finally I took the time to give it a much needed facelift!
It was in pretty bad shape when my mom gave it to me, so after lots of scrubbing, reglazing the windows (thanks to hubby!), and the addition of some nice creamy white paint, she was looking better already! I love roses, so I was thrilled to find a book at our library's used book sale of Redoute roses!
The hardest part was picking out my favorite roses, they all were so pretty! I then added them with some spray adhesive to the back side of the window.
Ok, here is what she used to look like! Very tired, sad, and worn out! This picture is actually pretty flattering, too!
I am linking up with Kathleen over at Faded Charm for White Wednesday. Don't miss it!
Beautiful Donna, I love roses too!

This really turned out great- so fresh and pretty!
ReplyDeleteDonna- I love it! Perfect job! I love roses too. Do you know that we used to own a window, siding and door company? I kept so many old windows that one day they went into the warehouse and tossed them all..(except a couple of the big unusual ones). I wanted to cry. Now that we sold the company I have to find mine just like everybody else. yeah..sometimes life sucks like that!>( Smiling anyway- Diana
ReplyDeleteIt's just gorgeous. Very romantic.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I love old windows. I would not have figured out how to transform one like you did....very creative. Looks great.

PS thank God for our men that can help us remake things. We just did some more glazing on windows too, but they are attached to the house! lol
Your vintage window looks amazing! You did a wonderful job!

ReplyDeleteI love roses too. And I like your idea of using pictures from an old book. great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I had to share it on my Facebook page!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect combination! I love roses and old windows so this really caught my heart. You did a beautiful job and it looks gorgeous! I have a couple of old windows so maybe I'll give this a try. You are so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteOh I do love it! I think this is a great idea for the windows. I just love vintage windows don't you! There is soooo much you can do with them!
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolute keeper! What a creative way to recycle an old window and make into a beautiful frame. It’s one of the best DIY projects that I've seen so far! :) The transformation was amazing! If I saw this in your house, I would never realize that this was once a window. Good job!
