Old window makes a great display!
My husband said, "this window is falling apart". He was kind of right. The one side was not so bad, but it was the other side that caught my eye. When I picked it up however, the paint and part of the window was coming off in my hands. For $1.00 I had to have it. I love old windows.
Works for me! I decided to add it to a couple of other items for an Easter display.
In addition to the old window, I placed a cast iron bunny that I have had for many years. He seems to have a "strong air about him"!
I thought the bunny would work well with the wire baskets I picked up at a garage sale. I saw these baskets beside some garage cans and asked if they were throwing them out, When they said yes, I asked if I could have them. They were old planters, so I took off the hangers and just used the base. Not sure what I am going to use the others for yet. Next project:)
I filled the basket with moss from our Live Oak trees that I put in the freezer to kill the bugs. Next I added these terracotta eggs that I picked up a few years ago.
I draped a string of book page flowers next. These were simple to make. I added some burlap strips in between the flowers for some additional color. Here is a closeup of the flowers.
I like how it turned out. Hope you do too!
How is your Easter decorating coming? I am still working on mine.

Jessica,
DeleteThanks for the sweet comment. I am always looking at items in new ways. My husband thinks I'm a little strange, but he loves the outcome. I always seem to surprise him.

Your Easter display looks amazing, it has the perfect shabby chic style. I love repurposes old objects and giving them new life. Happy Spring! ;o)

I've been looking for an old window for a while. I love it! The book page flowerballs are cute too....I am making some out of newspaper right now for an event:)
ReplyDeleteBritt@Creating Space for Five
Windows are getting harder and harder to find. If you do find them they are way too expensive, but I do love them. Thanks for the lovely comment on the flower balls. Haven't made any out of newspaper, might try that.
DeleteGood luck with your event.
Bev

DeleteThanks for the sweet comment on my display and especially the garland. I need to do a tutorial on the book flowers, but you can probably make them just by looking at them.

That is gorgeous! My parents recently re-did a house and thought I was CRAZY to save the windows! I added cute designs and they hang in my daughters room as purse hangers!

Kathy,
DeleteOh, that is so awesome to be featured. I am so excited that you picked my vignette. Thank you so much.

This is indeed a great display! It's chippy paint coordinated well with your bunny and egg basket. Hehe! I might use the same decor for the coming Easter too! On second thought, Easter will be months from now. So I guess I'll find some vintage windows that I can display for Christmas. Isn't that a great idea? :)
ReplyDeleteI just got to this amazing site not long ago. I was actually captured with the piece of resources you have got here. Big thumbs up for making such wonderful blog page! window washer
