jazzed up windows

Like I said in an earlier post, when E and I remodeled the bathroom we removed the window and added built-ins in it's place.

Thankfully, I did not throw the window away. I hate clutter and love to throw things away! I must have saw potential in these old windows.

Unfortunately, I did not take any "before" pictures. This project began before my blogging adventures! I'm not sure they are necessary though - everyone knows what a window looks like right?

This is a super cheap project for all of you who are budget friendly. I did not have to pay anything for my windows, however I know that they can be purchased somewhere like the Habitat ReStore for only a couple dollars. I love the Habitat ReStore. If you stop by every now and then you can find some real treasures for practically nothing!

I recently bought a "handful" of chandeliers that I am going to spray paint! E was not happy when he came home and saw pile of brass in our living room. He sees these things as trash. I think he lacks seeing the potential :) Many of the chandeliers only cost $1. How could I pass them up? Once they are hung I promise to post some pictures! Upon seeing this pile of brass, E said "can you have too many chandeliers in your house?" The obvious answer to that question is no!

Ok, so back to the windows. I spray painted them and added fun glass knobs. I also rubbed a little shoe polish on them to add a weathered effect. While I do love the glass knob collection at Anthropologie, I don't always love their prices! I found a decent knob selection at Hobby Lobby. The knobs I chose were only $2.00 each. Not bad!

Here is a sneak peak of the finished product

Here is anther set I painted teal

Stella's dog crate is directly below the teal windows, so I cannot hang anything from them. Any suggestions on how to spice them up a little bit?

Notice the little teal chair in the living room picture.
I also spray painted that while I was at it!

Tomorrow I will post some other creative uses for knobs! Happy Wednesday!
