Not that you gals can't create magnificent treasures with the old windows on your own ...
You've seen me do this:
but I've had this idea since last Summer and have been dieing to get 'er done!
These were the kind of windows I grew up with so when I spotted them in a Thrift Store 5-6 years ago I grabbed them...I know, I know, but the were covered with other Treasures!
OK this is what I did.
I used mending plates to attach them side by side.
Front
Back
Get lots of chain
(because you forgot to measure)
Add eye bolts to all four corner of frame
(sorry no pics, got to excited!)
Then I hung them in one of the entryways of the gazebo.
(I only want one way in and out so this just helps remind people of that)
In my minds eye I see these covered with the honeysuckle with just the windows to see through.
Using more technical items to hang them with...
Zip ties ;)
BTW, My Great Uncle made the chaise lounge you see. It has rope woven throughout the bottom (which I've replaced a few times) to hold the lounge pad.
This is "The Entryway" to the Gazebo
(pic from last year)
Now just one more "entrance" to block...hmmmmm
Looks fantastic! What a great idea!! :)

You took something vintage, worn and turned them into a work of beauty. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI love old windows too. I have a fake window in my windowless laundry room. It is always a topic of interest when a visitor see it looking quite real. Smile. I love what you did. A fun idea. The rose arbor is beautiful!!!

What a neat idea, and seeing them all covered in honeysuckle vines is going to be such a treat. Love the chaise lounge, looks like the perfect place for a nap!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I am going to have to be on the look out for old windows.
