Decorate with Old Windows

Easily transform old windows, found at the cheap at garage sales and flea markets, into creative décor for any room in the home. Use simple materials like fabric, chalkboard paint and our creative ideas to get inspired.

1. Make a short photo display. Prop up an old window or hang it at the wall. Use colorful paper craft tape to connect photos and postcards to the glass panes. 2. Organize with chalkboard paint. Brush a coat of chalkboard paint onto the panes and let it dry. Hang inside the kitchen to maintain grocery lists easily accessible, or within the dining room to write down the nightly menu. 3. Create a singular headboard. Use a tremendous window without glass as a headboard. Prop up the window behind your mattress, or attach it on to the wall. 4. Make a message board. Hang an old window at the wall within the entryway or mudroom as a one-of-a-kind message board.

  • Glue clothespins to the window frame clip on notices or pictures.
  • Hang twine between two nails on both sides of the frame. Attach messages along the twine with clothespins.
