I’ve used the windows in a few ways and my most recent project was a quasi message center. One day I hope to do a mini greenhouse.
I forgot the “before” pictures this time. The plain old window was framed out with molding.
It had one broken pane of glass so the original plan was to add chicken wire to the one square but me being me, oops! Another broken pane.
Glued in the chicken wire from the back. If you attempt this please be careful. Chicken wire can be nasty. It bites. Sprayed the chicken wire white. Sprayed the glass with chalkboard paint. And, voila….

Love your message center Maureen! I've been waiting for 3 years to find 6 windows to make one of those little greenhouses. I just hope that when I do see them, I'll be able to grab them!

ReplyDeleteOld windows are ground, aren't they? Thanks for stoping by my blog and mentioning the Genesis Project. I couldn't agree with you more, I have used the cooking water for years for plants outside, but never thought about the excess in a shower. Makes so much sense. Sea Witch
