Are you looking for new decorating ideas?

So here is the new object to find: an old window!

There is something romantic and nostalgic about old windows.

Every time I use an old window for a decorative project, I imagine the family who lived in the house.

Yes, I know, it's silly, but it helps me connect with this object and find new life for it.

Here are 10 original decor ideas with old windows. Look :

1. Above the fireplace

Here is a clean decor idea. This old window is simply leaned against the wall and used as the main decorative element.

2. In photo frame

Here is what I was talking about: a project full of charm! You just have to enlarge a photo to the right size, remove the glass from the old window, then paint it with a special wood paint and stick it on the photo.

3. In blackboard

You can use an old window to turn it into an original chalkboard with this special paint. Perfect for writing your shopping lists or jotting down your appointments!

4. In a coat rack

Here is an old window that has been diverted to create a coat rack. A few hooks and a lick of paint and here is your beautifully decorated entryway.

5. As a screen for the garden

Here, only the window panes were used. Hanging on your balcony for example with a hook and a small chain, these old windows add a very pleasant intimate atmosphere.

6. In frames hung on the walls

The idea here is to use old windows as frames to dress the walls. I love this design! This style is suitable for any traditional or modern home.

7. In medicine cabinet

This old window is transformed into a display case for a medicine cabinet. Here is a very practical use of an old window!

8. Original headboard

This headboard is really original and in addition it is easy to make. It is enough to recover 4 identical windows, to strip them with this trick, then to paint them. All you have to do is put small hooks in your wall to hang the windows on.

9. As a decoration for Christmas

You can also hang Christmas decorations like snowflakes or colorful balls on an old window frame. It's so simple and yet so pretty! It's quick to do and you can keep this decoration for a long time ... and why not change it according to the seasons?

10. At the top of the glass door

This old window fits in the frame of a door to embellish and dress an empty space.

11. In window in the window

Here is my favorite idea. A small leaded window superimposed on another normal window.
