Thriftin’ Time Tuesday


Last week I promised you another door knob project.  My daughter, Tracy, wanted to get started on her project.  She has been collecting knobs for a few months but she wasn’t sure what she really wanted to do with them.  At the last minute she came up with a great idea! 
What did she get when she added these……thrift 013

to this?  (Isn’t this window to die for?  She has had it for years..I couldn’t get it away from her!)

Some base plates…..blog 004 plus some gorgeous antique door knobs are about to be transformed into some antique window altered art.  Some measuring, some drilling and …..blog 009  that leads to

this……blog 014  and

Great job, Tracy!  Are you sure you don’t want to leave it here for awhile?

 I'll be be at the party.....

    Wowza! I'm loving this. I think you just might have to get it permanently attached to your wall. What a gorgeous window and you know I love those door knobs.

    Good Job. Where does Tracy plan to hang it? That is if she can pry it out of your hands!

    I love combining vintage treasures to create something with a new purpose. That kind of character just can't be achieved from brand new items. It looks terrific.

    Thanks for linking to the party. I would love to have you join me for "Funny Faux Pas Follies," as well. Click the party button in my sidebar for details.
