So here they are, just sitting there, waiting for me to beautify them!
The first time I ever saw someone use windows like this to decorate with was many years ago on a local TV show. The host went with a decorator to a salvage yard and bought 3 of these type windows for about $15 a piece. They took them home, painted them black, and distressed them a little. They used double sided tape to stick on black and white photos, then hung them on the wall. It looked so beautiful and surprisingly contemporary. Ever since then, I've wanted to try this project myself, but haven't seen any windows that were the same as the ones they used...until now!
So I've basically been stalking my neighbors. I've been hanging out on the back porch, just hoping they step outside, so I could just happen to be there, admiring their windows! LOL! I did get up the nerve today to go knock on the front door and ask about them (I took along the baby for support). The worst they could do was say no, right? But alas, no one answered the door. I was so disappointed.
I WANT those windows! Hopefully I can post some good news soon, with some inspired pics of the finished product! So I'll just keep on stalking, I mean inquiring about the windows until I come up with an answer. I hope it's not a "no." : ( All you folks out there who know what a wasted treasure this is, and who know what I'm going through right now, say a little prayer for me! (I know...I'm being a little dramatic!)
Here are a few more

Girl, I'd want those windows too! Ask them and see what they say. I love old windows 'cause there are so many cute things you can do with them. I will leave out my patriotic stuff probably until the end of July. I haven't put out much yet. I have got to get up in my attic and see what else I have.
