A New Home For A Very Old Window

Welcome.....How many of you Farm house Vintage /country lovers have old vintage windows that you use in your décor? I have always wanted vintage windows but where I live they are not accessible until the Vintage Fair that I attended that is , yesterday I shared A window that has all the chippiness that any vintage lover would  love. Not everyone can relate to the vintage love some find it just plain all junk.

The window I am sharing today is very large so I tried different ideas in my mind until I decided that my fireplace would be the lucky one . First I gently gave it a good cleaning, I covered the back side with a piece of unique color of green .

I really want to add more pops of red So I incorporated red into the wreath and rag garland. I also painted my wooden candleholders red. 

I also picked up some of the spiral springs to incorporate into a garland and maybe someday candleholders

Now I have to see where else I can pop a bit of red !  

Until next time ........Lisa

 

A VINTAGE FAIR & A SPECIAL FIND

Welcome!  Its been busy here but I just have to share my day trip with you all. Yesterday there was a vintage fair at the fairgrounds so I knew I would not miss that for anything, and I have to say if you have a love for vintage Farm house style you really must go, it was the most fun ever! their were 70 + venders selling furniture, paint, all kinds of vintage articles and handmade treasures. It really was fun.

When I left here I already had my buying agenda in place, vintage windows, the real deal anything I could incorporate into my décor. There was a live band and plenty of foods from different parts of the world. It was better than being a kid in a candy shop!  I saw some very cool ideas as well as things, I came across a vender that had many vintage things and he had just what I was looking for and his prices were great. I could not wait until morning to decorate the  pieces I found so here is one of the  Farm house  windows that I decided to use in the kitchen. I just have a simple window so this window fit perfectly over it.

You would have to laugh at my kids......they don't understand the farm house décor so to them this stuff looks like Pure junk as my teenage son put it  lol . This window has just the right amount of chippyness!

I had this glass knob that I attached for some window jewelry. 

This morning I started making the rag wreath one for this window and one for the much bigger window I decided to use on the fireplace. for this one I used lace some of the purple pattered material also some white. In these pictures night is just falling...

I cant help to wonder if this window could talk it would have some wonderful farm house stories!

And of course just had to add white lights for enchantment!

Thanks so much for stopping in  next time I will be sharing the bigger window that I have married with my fireplace!
