A friend of mine posted on Facebook today that she needed to part with a couple of three pane vintage 1922 windows. On my way over to see her (Hi Julie!) I stopped at the hardware store and picked up some fabulous yellow paint. I already had a plan that was starting to take shape in my head.
Here’s what I started with. This is the front of the window on my awesome pink drop cloth. The top pane of the window had a crack, so I broke out the top two to keep in line with my plan.
Here’s the window after a coat of the awesome yellow. The color is called Band of Gold and it’s from Ace Hardware.
This is the back of the window. I cut chicken wire to fit in the two open windows and used a staple gun to attach it. I LOVE my staple gun. I think you need one.
I picked up some amazing vintage fabric at a church basement rummage sale that I went to on a whim last weekend. I think it was meant to be. I can’t believe how this came together.
Look at the fabric! Ahhh! I also had these vinyl letters that I was saving for a rainy (or snowy) day so I used those on the front of the glass.
And here is the finished product. I am so happy that I just giggle when I look at it. Hope you like it too.

Just spend a fortune reglazing windows (DON’T love them), made to order for my home and guess it is nice looking out the wavy glass on beautiful foggy, wintry morning.
Very cute. It does make ya smile. =}
