‘Worthless’ Windows

As some of you know, I have been working on a ‘decorating’ remodel for my back porch. I decided on a window theme and today, I got to work. I liked one side of the window better than the other so I moved the hardware. ‘Hardware is good’! Next I printed up a couple graphics and grabbed an old photo, that I have had forever. I got tired of it a few years ago and it is just now finding a good home.

I taped the pictures on the back side of the glass and added some vintage lace trim…..now I have a curtain. There was a lot of overspray on these windows, and I thought it added to the ambiance, so I just scraped it off in front of the pictures. I also left the old paint on the glass. I recently picked up some (super cheap) old brass door plates with the intention of using them, as added interest. I added (a new) door hinge at the top to hang the window. And one final topper….a antique glass door knob. I am not happy with the mushrooms, so I will spend some time looking for something else. I wanted a botanical but they are usually more rectangular and don’t fit shape of the glass. Otherwise, I am very happy with how this looks with my new old chair.

I used a bolt to screw on the knob; I just removed the old guts and drilled a hole in the window for the bolt and threaded it through the back and tightened the knob.

Now I am one step closer to a complete back porch, I have several other windows I am working one, so stop by later.

Notice the ugly mushroom is gone? I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
