Old Window Pane Decorating Ideas
If you are looking for creative charm in your DIY projects, that's easy – use old windows! There is something about windows with history that make us feel nostalgic… And let's face it, they don't make 'em like they used to!

But that's why I am so drawn to historical things… it's the people behind them.
So lets look at some DIY projects with old windows you can do yourself, or get inspiration for your own original project! And maybe, just maybe, your window once looked out at a loved one returning from war, or at a beau coming to court who then became a spouse of 75 years, or…
