Vintage Window Shelf From Old Window
Vintage windows are being used everywhere
and when a friend dropped off a few to me, there was
no shortage of ideas out there.
I started out by scraping down the chippy paint that was already falling off.
I had several scrap boards in my workshop and I cut one to the width of the window and attached it to the bottom with wood glue, nails, and metal brackets.
I used white chalky paint to paint both sides of the window with a coat of white.
I added large D rings to the back of the window and hung it in studs on the wall over the bed.
I'd show you the whole room but unlike other home and garden bloggers, my room is not always perfect.
My master bedroom make-over can be found in this post about painting the furniture.
My decor right now is completely neutral with a pop of turquoise color in the pillows and the rug.

DeleteThis couldn't have come at a better time...I've had 2 of these windows sitting in my home for the past couple of months waiting to be used specifically for this purpose (over my bed). Thanks so much for the share!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kim... I'm secretly hoping I have it in a stud deep enough... I'm losing a little sleep :/
DeleteThis is so very creative! I've got quite a few windows in my garage and I've never been too interested in the ways I've seen them reused no matter how beautiful but, this is something I could see myself doing. Thank you for the inspiration. Pinning & sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and thank you for following Homeroad on all my social media! I love making these windows and it's really quite easy! The hardest part is finding the brackets at a good price :)
DeleteLOVE this Susan! My head is spinning with how many ways I can use that sweet window shelf. Beautifully done!
