Over the summer I was at a rummage sale and up against the house were all of these old windows. They
were being sold for $5 a piece. I had no clue what I wanted to do with them but figured I could figure something out. I remembered my grandma cutting up old calenders and using the pictures to frame. I thought it was a brilliant idea and thought that a calender would be perfect size for these big old windows. So I decided where I wanted to place each window, one going in the dining room and one in the study.
When I brought them home there were some nails on the edges that had to be pulled. They also needed a new coat of paint. I taped up the glass and used some left over white paint that I had. The glass also had some old paint on the glass. I scraped off what I could. Not all of it came off but I figured it is a rustic look so it not being pristine works for this look. We then added a triangle shaped hanger on each side on the top.

This is the art work display one that is in my study. It is great and very simple, tape art work into the window panes. And voila!

Love the idea, also love the you keep the back the original color. You should get a % of the profits was your idea.
Thank you for reading and the support on it being my idea. Maybe you can join a petition with me or something. Lets do this!
