HOW TO REUSE OLD WINDOWS lovely french shelf

 

 

Last month I realized I have never had a hand towel in the bathroom. Ive lived here for years and I

would hunt down a big bath towel hanging on the door to dry my hands. Last week I went out and

 found some nice pretty soft ones care of HomeSense. And I cant believe Ive converted so quickly

 that I am using them several times a day. Before I enjoy them too much I wanted to use them in a

photo shoot. 

 

 

 

I love to create, whether Im building something or taking a great picture of it. It focuses my mind

and keeps me moving, but I have to work at my own pace to rest my back as it needs.

 

This time I took a few days and custom designed a French shelf around two vintage windows.

Ive done something similar years ago but then it was a dresser I repurposed instead of windows.

 

 

These windows are like the ones I remember from elementary school. They have an interesting

 look with a wire mesh inside the glass and texture outside leaving them slightly frosted. 

 

Every piece of trim I used on this shelf was salvaged from other discarded furniture.

 

I hope this has inspired you to find different ways to repurpose vintage windows.
